INTRODUCTION • Notable US health system transformations over the last 2 decades • Different perspectives on the physiatrist’s role • Impact of the passage of health care reform
THE FUTURE “The next 20 years are going to be a lot tougher than the past 20 years for physicians.” From a study titled How to Prepare Your Medical Practice for the 21st Century
SECURING A PHYSIATRIC POSITION • Impact of the health care system • Physiatric services in demand • Compensation issues
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM • Impact of horizontal and vertical integration considerations: • Ability to get referrals • Group size • Rural vs. urban
Accountable Care Organizations • Patient care=funding • Epidemiology • Broad focus of services
PHYSIATRY SERVICES IN DEMAND • To be or not to be: physiatry as primary care or not • Payment bundling • Each doctor will need to provide value to the patient visit
Passage of health care reform • Increased need for doctors • Nearly 1/3 of doctors will retire in the next decade • New patients with no deductibles or copays
Non-medical decisions crucial • Planning, time management, the right team • “It’s tough to be an expert in more than one profession when time is the currency of value.” Dr. Bernard Morrey
The Economy “Where physician can save time during their day makes a trememdous difference.” From How to Prepare Your Medical Practice for the 21st Century
COMPENSATION • RVU’s • Doctors staying where they are • Reimbursement cuts affect salaries and services
Compensation considerations • Opt out of Medicare/aid • States with no income tax • Contracts – income guarantee, restrictive covenants, partnership
CONCLUSION • Health care system – bigger maybe better • Services – broad abilities • Compensation – time=money
