New Factors Affect Physician Recruitment and Retention

There have been many recent changes in physician’s compensation and uncertainty with new laws and reform taking place. Healthcare reform, Medicaid cuts, and even economic challenges have made physician’s compensation potentially more volatile in the near future. These new pressures are also influencing how compensation is structured in both recruiting and retaining physicians.

Communicating with your current physicians as well as courting physicians is more important than ever.
