Dealing with Physicians Who Have Financial
Relationships with your Competitors Audiotape
recorded April 15, 2003

Faculty: Dan Mulholland & Susan Lapenta

If your hospital is like most, it is facing increased competition from all sorts of entities -- many of which have financial relationships with physicians on your medical staff. These competitive threats present your institution with two options: roll over and accept the consequences, which could threaten your ability to serve your community, or take steps to protect your mission.

The following questions are discussed in detail:

* What kinds of competing entities pose the biggest threat to the hospital?
* How should your Board analyze the effects of financial relationships between physicians and your competitors?
* How will physicians' financial relationships with competing entities affect their relationships with your hospital, such as Active Staff prerogatives, Board membership, medical staff appointment and financial arrangements such as recruitment or malpractice premium assistance?
* What else can your hospital do to respond to competition from physician-owned entities?
* How should you communicate your policy to the community and to the medical staff?
