To Gain Control Back. Capitation, as all compensation mechanisms currently used has it's drawbacks but it seems to present an opportunity for physicians to become actively involved in healthcare policy. I have heard a lot of complaining about insurance companies controlling how we practice and regulating our delivery of healthcare.
Physicians have an opportunity to gain that control back.
This does require us to take risk. We should view the changes in healthcare to be 'the moment we have waited for' to be the leaders of the reform and not the implementers of board room policy. I would like to Add my comment.
