Statistics and predictions of the day
Since I can't share my conference-supplied muffin with you all, how about some tidbits of information from MGMA?
From Ezekiel Emanuel: 10% of the U.S. population is responsible for 64% of our health care costs, while 50% of the population spends only 3%.
From Max Rieboldt, a health care CPA: "Within the next 10 years, at least 80-90% of physicians will be employed. We're headed more and more in that direction." One of the major reasons for that? Physicians' insistence on being paid to take emergency call. Hospitals like having the responsibility for call as part of the employment contract, instead of an extra issue to negotiate and pay for, he said.
