why are hospitals buying physician practices
Buying physician practices is a boon to hospitals because it helps them secure more patients and profits. Once employed, physicians admit their patients to the hospital they work for and also funnel patients there for tests and procedures.he most recent local example of this is the potential sale of Physician Associates, one of the largest multispecialty practices in Central Florida, with 95 doctors. The physician group is entertaining bids from the area's most eligible suitors, Florida Hospital and Orlando Health.
