Abstract

Abstract: Physicians are increasingly becoming employed by hospitals and health systems. While associated with less professional autonomy, such employment offers physicians the opportunity to become leaders within a vertically integrated healthcare environment. Multidisciplinary care teams, led by physician champions, can impact care for a large swath of patients and establish clinical excellence. Successful teams can improve outcomes, increase professional satisfaction, and potentially set physicians on a path to becoming leaders within their health system.
