When things begin to go awry between hospitals and contracted medical groups, these are the sort of complaints that hospitals levy:
- Your group has no leadership.
- Your group is dysfunctional.
- We pay you too high of a stipend – “You’re too expensive.”
- There’s no/poor alignment between your group and the hospital’s interests.
- Your group is not responsive to our valid complaints.
- Your group never creates new value for the hospital (you’re not proactive).
- Your group refuses to change with the times.
And, it’s even worse than that, in that these same issues are the “selling points” that aggressive groups of all sorts – not just the true groups, but also contract management companies and staffing services – use to try to disrupt the relationship between the hospital and the incumbent group.
