Between Employment and Independence: A Third Option for Physicians (Room Room 210)

Hospitals and physicians have struggled to find a balance of strategies or models that provide the benefits of integration while maintaining physician autonomy and compensation flexibility. This session will describe the Group Practice Subsidiary Model which is designed to provide significant integration between hospitals and physicians around new payment models and population health management, but still give physicians significant autonomy in operating their practices and retaining current compensation structures. You will learn about the legal structure of the model, as well as hear from a practice administrator and hospital executive that have been involved in the conversion of a private practice group to the Group Practice Subsidiary structure.
