Physician/hospital telecommunications links.
The deregulation of the telecommunications industry has made it more difficult for hospitals and physicians to manage their telecommunications expenditures. By concentrating on this disruption, many hospitals and physicians may miss out on the new opportunities made available by deregulation. By selling telecommunications services to physicians, hospital administrators can take advantage of many of these new opportunities. The key to this venture is viewing telecommunications as a revenue producing department or a captive business rather than an overhead expense.
