Will the healthcare staffing crisis ever end? We were talking about shortages five years ago and then things really went crazy during the pandemic. But even as a lot of the economy has returned to normal, healthcare workers are still in very short supply. 

Do we just have to wait a little longer, or is the shortage of healthcare workers going to be with us forever?

Independent physician practices are facing an uphill battle in an era where hospitals are growing increasingly larger.

With their vast resources and extensive networks, hospitals often hold a considerable advantage when it comes to negotiating contracts with insurance companies and leveraging economies of scale. This discrepancy can lead to a significant disadvantage for independent physicians, making it harder for them to compete for patients, attract top talent, and maintain financial stability. 

In this episode of CareTalk, hosts John Driscoll and David Williams discuss how value-based care and AI technology can help independent practitioners survive healthcare’s consolidation trend.

TOPICS
1:06 Is the independent practice a good thing?
10:28 Primary care and concierge medicine
20:16 Does AI have a place in medical care?
22:35 Independent practices: how to survive and prosper
