The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing helps hospital CEOs answer a question that healthcare analysts and policymakers have debated for nearly 30 years: How many physicians do you need? The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing challenges accepted beliefs and practices about the science of physician staffing. Insightful and data-rich, this unique resource guides hospital executives in creating a staffing model for physician services by outlining proven strategies for determining community physician need and fulfilling those needs appropriately.   This timely and informative book presents practical approaches for engaging different types of physicians—the hospital dependent, hospital independent, and full-time office-based—in various markets, including those facing a shortage and rural communities. Complete with benchmarking tables and other resources, The Hospital Executive's Guide to Physician Staffing includes sections on: Physician supply and demand—a macro view Assessing physician need Measuring physician contribution How many physicians make a health system Recruitment and retention strategies The executive’s role in recruitment Planning for an uncertain future Build a quality organization, and the doctors will come. Central to the underlying philosophy of the book is the notion that hospitals must "attract the best by being the best" and includes strategies executives can use in achieving that goal.   Who will benefit from this book?
