You will be replaced. You will be fired. You will be outsourced. Read this article from CNN. If you are unaware of what is happening with Private Equity (PE) groups, you will be in for a shock. I am just going to leave you with some quotes or buzzwords from the article:
- “shift of staffing”
- “blended model”
- “to provide care to their fullest potential.”
- go into medicine to supervise an army of people
- employ “the least expensive resource”
Yes, you say, but this article is about ERs. While that is true it is also happening to primary care —- rapidly. Get out. Start your DPC today. Buy the books. Go to the conferences. Join the DPC Alliance. Start NOW!
