Financial and contractual considerations

R M Williams. Emerg Med Clin North Am. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

Emergency physicians function in a highly competitive and financially oriented environment. To remain professionally and economically viable in this situation, it is imperative that individual emergency physicians and emergency physician groups develop and maintain a thorough understanding of the aspects of emergency department finance and contractual relationships. Otherwise, emergency physicians run the considerable risk of becoming controlled and therefore being "minor players" in the burgeoning health care industry.
