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](https://info.thesullivangroup.com/physician-integration-education)<https://info.thesullivangroup.com/physician-integration-education>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.

Many of those employment changes were driven by aspects of the PPACA that favored a more “integrated” approach to clinical care. Although the aggressive employment strategy has subsided, there remains a significant interest by hospital systems to more closely align with physician group practices. To this point, let’s explore 4 key areas that hospital systems may want to include in their physician integration strategy, or in some cases, their physician employment and onboarding process.
