Physicain Recruitment

By Nancy Dobbs

Across the country the recruitment of physicians is becoming more and more difficult. Palm Drive must be very strategic in how we approach this critical issue.

Palm Drive Medical Center is installing an electronic medical records system, we are enlarging the offices, and can offer more of a group setting for the practitioners. Creating this environment makes Palm Drive a more attractive option for physicians.

In addition, the preference in the national health legislation for Accountable Care Organizations suggests a more integrated approach between the hospital and doctors, health clinics, and other local practitioners. As we develop our physician recruitment plans, we must take all these factors into account thoughtfully to create a successful outcome.
