The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, along with other economic forces, will significantly change the way hospitals and physicians work with one another. To help measure that change, Modern Healthcare, in partnership with Press Ganey of South Bend, Ind., is conducting an industrywide survey on hospital-physician relations. The 2010 Hospital-Physician Relations Survey will examine the state of relations between hospitals and their employed physicians and how those relations may change.
The survey is now open and is available to all readers of Modern Healthcare and sister publication Modern Physician. Readers can find the survey at modernhealthcare.com/surveys. The participation deadline is Sept. 20.
Modern Healthcare and Press Ganey will analyze the results and report the findings in the Nov. 8 issue of Modern Healthcare and Modern Physician.
