If your organization is navigating the onboarding and integration process for newly employed physicians, you're not alone.
The Physicians Advocacy Institute recently reported that U.S. hospitals bought 5,000 independent physician practices between July 2015 and July 2016. The percentage of hospital-employed physicians increased by more than 63% from mid-2012 to mid-2016.
TSG's RSQ® Education - Physician Integration Program is designed to put the best practices of patient safety and risk management at the fingertips of your physicians and systematize your ongoing compliance training.
As you consider how to structure a Physician Integration Education Program, below we provide recommendations on how you might organize topics of importance and how to time their delivery to physicians. Your organization can use this as a framework for your program and edit based on your individual organization's needs and challenges. We recommend alotting 5-7 courses each year for physician completion.
