Featured Content | Strategies for solving the challenges posed by low-volume providers | Many primary care physicians have decreased their hospital activity and instead focus on their ambulatory-based community practice. Financial factors and lifestyle choices are often behind such changes to a physician's practice. Although these physicians' ties to the hospital are weakened, many hospitals and their medical staffs want to maintain relationships with primary care physicians in the community to secure ongoing referrals for specialty care, provide ancillary services, and maintain a strong commitment to community health. Likewise, certain specialists whose main activities are ambulatory outpatient based, such as allergists and dermatologists, want to maintain access to the hospital and its medical staff.

New Content: Members Only | Provider enrollment: An introduction to the field | For numerous MSPs, provider enrollment is becoming an increasingly familiar topic. According to the 2018 MSP Salary Survey Report, approximately 30% of respondents who work in the medical staff services department also handle provider enrollment. Although that means 70% of MSPs do not currently deal with provider enrollment, it is likely that they may in the future. Therefore, Medical Staff Briefing sought to provide education on provider enrollment that could help both those already in the field and MSPs who may eventually take on enrollment responsibilities. |
