Physician Demand Analysis and Medical Staff Development Plan for Community Hospital
Conducted a physician demand analysis that led to the validation of physician recruitment needs and the acceptance of a medical staff development plan by the Hospital’s Board and Medical Staff.
For a mid-sized community hospital, we conducted a physician demand analysis that led to the validation of physician recruitment needs and the acceptance of a medical staff development plan by the Hospital’s Board and Medical Staff. The unique methodology took into account not only changing community demographics and current medical staff demographics but also integrated, known productivity factors of physicians by age and sex. It also included feedback from physicians and other key stakeholders regarding expected biomedical advances and physician retirement plans. The plan now serves as the framework the hospital uses to adapt as the marketplace changes.
The plan helps to ensure that the hospital’s physician recruitment strategy is aligned with the organization’s overall business strategy and is defensible to challenges by outside parties.
