title: Making it work: characteristics of high-performing hospital-physician networks.
abstract: Physician practice is in the midst of another historic change--from solo and small groups to large, hospital-sponsored employed-physician networks. The question remains as to whether these large, hospital-centric physician organizations are sustainable. This article examines the stress points that physicians and practice managers face as they find themselves thrust into new but often ill-defined business models. It offers insights and pathways to help them navigate the changes that will be necessary for these business models to survive, evolve, and thrive.
