  • Title: Impact of managed care on physician organizational behavior.
    Author: Reece RL.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1999; 25(1):14-20. PubMed ID: 10387266.
    Abstract:
    This article examines how physicians act, react, and organize when managed care forces them to consolidate into larger groups and business corporations. Physicians have experimented with ownership by hospitals or business corporations to gain capital, management skills, and information systems. Now they're moving toward physician-owned groups with "outsourcing" of administrative and information system functions. The mood, movement, and momentum of physicians, in short, is toward integrated physician organizations bound together by information that amplifies on their core competencies and capacities to deliver care.
