The landscape of healthcare is changing rapidly. That landscape is now a business model of medicine. That rapid change resulting in a business model is affecting physicians professionally and personally. The new business model of medicine has led to large healthcare organizations hiring physicians as employees. The role of a physician as an employee has many limitations in terms of practice and personal autonomy. Employed physicians sign legally binding employment agreements that are written by the legal team working for the healthcare organization. Thus physicians should practice due diligence before signing the employment agreement. "Due diligence" refers to the care a reasonable person should take before entering into an agreement with another party. That reasonable person should seek expertise to represent his or her interests when searching a balanced agreement between the physician and organization.
医疗保健领域正在迅速变化。现在，该领域是一种医学商业模式。这种迅速变化所形成的商业模式正在从职业和个人层面影响着医生。新的医学商业模式导致大型医疗保健机构将医生聘为员工。医生作为员工的角色在执业和个人自主权方面存在诸多限制。受雇医生要签署由医疗保健机构的法律团队撰写的具有法律约束力的雇佣协议。因此，医生在签署雇佣协议之前应进行尽职调查。“尽职调查”是指一个理性的人在与另一方达成协议之前应尽的谨慎。在寻求医生与机构之间的平衡协议时，那个理性的人在寻找代表其利益的专业意见时应寻求专业知识。
