Are Medical Groups Still Viable? – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 23

For the 23rd episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we’re asking the question Are Medical Groups Still Viable?

This is a big question with a lot of nuance. However, everyone agrees that the medical group is being hit by a lot of pressures to consolidate. Not the least of which is hospitals and health systems buying up group practices. On the other hand, regulations are growing and that makes it hard for a medical group practice to survive. In this episode we talk about these trends and more and what it portends for the future of medical groups in healthcare.

Here’s a quick rundown of the ideas and questions we’ll discuss in this episode:

  • What’s Happening with Medical Groups Right Now?
  • What are the Tech Challenges Ahead for Medical Groups?
  • What are the Opportunities for Medical Groups?
