Synopsis
Whether you run a large hospital, trauma center or a small private hospital, chances are you have on-call physicians. Although these physician partnerships are a critical part of a hospital’s operations, on-call arrangements themselves are often inherently complex in structure and regulatory needs. In this session, our experts discussed new research that identifies the struggles hospitals face in paying their doctors and the real-life concerns that keep them up at night; common pitfalls to avoid with on-call payments; steps to manage commercially reasonable on-call arrangements that improve physician satisfaction; and how to leverage automation to improve their on-call strategies.
