Read my latest Coker Connection article, co-authored with Roz Cordini, JD, on #healthcare compliance and #FairMarketValue. We discuss how the policy of an organization should set the standard for structuring #physician compensation arrangements. https://t.co/XnyDgSbDsj
Another perspective to consider is the aging of medical communities. Assessing the ages of the medical community on a specialty-specific basis is a necessary exercise and health systems evaluate their needs for the future.

"Do we need a #physician needs assessment?"
Some believe they already know their needs, and an assessment won't tell them anything new.
Others view their needs assessment as simply an exercise in #healthcarecompliance.

@cokergroup <<< 4. Do we effectively consider qualitative as well as quantitative factors in determining our needs?
5. Does our CNA provide the necessary guidance to assist us?
6. Is our CNA simply an exercise that we go through that sits on someone’s shelf?
@cokergroup As a starting point, ask yourself these 6 questions:
1. When did you complete your most current CNA?
2. What does your organization use as its basis for recruitment and alignment activities?
3. Do we need assistance in developing our CNA?

My session is later this morning at the SEPRA conference. Bonita and I will share why it's essential to have an updated physician needs assessment.

@cokergroup@AAMCtoday The aging #physician workforce will have a significant detrimental effect since over 40% of the currently active physicians will be over 65 in the next ten years. It is unknown how #COVID19 will impact the retirement of physicians in medical practice.
The @AAMCtoday projected a #physician shortage up to 139,000 by 2033. It is imperative to maintain a finger on the pulse of your medical community. Read a #newblogpost by @RandyGott_CG for actionable steps to focus on the needs of patients.

@cokergroup@AAMCtoday As with many things in healthcare, there is no magic bullet to address this issue. Things that will help: be proactive in medical staff development strategies and have an up-to-date community/physician needs assessment.
@cokergroup When it is time to launch a recruitment initiative, it is critical to build medical staff buy-in by involving the physicians early and gather their input. It's crucial to involve physicians early in the process and ask for their opinion on medical staff changes.

The quantitative analysis is a standard in determining physician needs, using the service area definition, the ratios applied to the population of a service area, and physician supply, however, there are factors that go beyond supply/demand.

📝 What role do qualitative factors play in determining physician need in a given specialty in a service area? These questions often arise during physician needs assessments about factors that go beyond supply/demand analysis. More from @RandyGott_CG ➡️ https://t.co/J542FTIvp9
