🚨 New AMA data confirms it: fewer than half of U.S. physicians are now in private practice. Just 42.2% in 2024, down from 60.1% in 2012. Let’s unpack the trends, what’s driving the decline, and why it matters for physicians & patients 🧵
So when physicians LEAD hospitals, hospitals perform better. Guess what else is true…. When physicians control the board room, hospitals perform better as well. Let’s end the silliness of blocking doctors from owning hospitals. Repeal Section 6001. journals.lww.com/jaaos/fulltext…

“What is your pain score?” “Do you feel safe at home?” “Any thoughts of harming yourself or others?” The script that hospitals force the front line to say, to stay compliant with the Joint Commission and for whatever other compulsions... Questions that lead to an affirmative…

TIPS does more than lower portal pressure-it rewires inflammation In decompensated cirrhosis, TIPS leads to a sustained and significant drop in systemic inflammation and bacterial translocation markers (↓25 SIMs, ↓sCD14, ↓CRP), translating into improved outcomes for patients.…

1/ The top 7 #healthplan executives total comp packages weighed in at $125.2M in ‘24. Yet the industry’s talking points memo is that reimbursing physicians & hospitals appropriately will drive up the costs of care—right?? Let’s consider the true facts. For @ACEPNation, the…
If this works, it would be amazing. One of the main challenges I face at my independent practice is getting med recs from the giant hospital systems nearby. Often takes several months of missed faxes and snail-mailing cds of images before I can treat a patient. Looking forward to…
