A recent Medscape survey reveals that both male and female self-employed physicians are happier and more satisfied than those employed by hospitals. The major basis for the difference in attitude may be related to the differences in the business models employed by each.
Reasons for the greater level of happiness and satisfaction of the self-employed physician include the fact that they have greater control over their affairs and greater choices in the work they do. The downside is they are responsible for the administrative and financial aspects of their practices.
Concordance Healthcare Solutions has a number of specific Supply Chain Solutions that can help ease the stress of those responsibilities. Here are three that deserve a close look.
The Concordance Capital Program
Probably the biggest challenge facing doctors setting up a private practice is raising cash to buy furnishings and equipment. To address this challenge Concordance has developed the Concordance Capital program.
Through it, the new private practice physician has access to an extensive range of healthcare equipment - including exam room equipment, diagnostic equipment, millwork, storage cabinets and furniture - needed to start a practice.
Additionally, the Concordance Capital program provides financing options and a dedicated team, who will advise, assist and facilitate throughout the project. Services include storage, installation and project management from a single product through major construction and renovation. Our dedicated team is on hand to help select the right equipment for your practice, finance it and set it up in your new facility.
