ForwardNegotiating Physician Employment Agreements: Key Principles and Issues for Medical Employers and Physician Employees
Pricing
ISMS members: Free
Non-ISMS members: $75.00
Course Description
Hospital employees, health system professionals, and members of physician groups need to know the basics before they negotiate an employment agreement. New payment models based on “value” of care may tie reimbursement to delivering quality care while controlling cost, thus shifting financial risk onto physicians. Physician employers and medical group expectations of their contracted employees evolve and these changes are reflected in new contracting terms.
In this webinar, Rick Hindmand, JD, will help you navigate key issues that affect employers and those signing contracts. The program is developed with the purpose of reaching “win-win” scenarios when contracting.
