Change is inevitable--is it acceptable?
Three ophthalmologists with successful solo practices decided to incorporate into a group practice. As the years went by, the practice flourished, and new physicians and staff were added to the group. However, the group's cohesiveness began to dissipate soon after the corporation's tenth anniversary. The basis of compensation, as well as the viability of the group as an entity, began to be challenged. Change in the salary formula became inevitable, and with the change naturally came resistance from some of the group members. How did the group manage to survive?
