Description: "There is a transformation of equity occurring in the healthcare industry with hospitals and health systems purchasing physician practices. This is causing a transitional challenge as the traditional hospital structure meets the entrepreneurial physician manager in an environment that is rapidly changing for each. Some healthcare systems are successful in the process of this new management challenge - most are not. This book is intended to fill the void between hospital management texts and physician management literature to address the cultural and functional issues that need to be addressed when these two enterprises merge"--Provided by publisher.
