Hospitals & Health Networks has published an interesting article on the increasing trend of physician employment. Many of the hospitals we recruit for are changing models from income guarantees to full hospital employment, and many of the physician candidates we work with request hospital employment positions.
H&HN agrees, physician employment by hospitals is increasing. According to their article, the American Medical Association reports that the total number of physicians employed in community hospitals increased 24% between 2003 and 2007, while the number of physicians nationally increased only 8%.
In addition, a recent survey by the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development indicated that health care leaders across the nation believe the percentage of physicians on hospitals' active staffs who are employed will increase from 10% today to 25% by 2013.
