Are you physicians who are part owners in a hospital?<br /><br />The questions was should doctors and other health care professionals for that matter, be allowed to be part owners in hospitals, and does this deviate from the spirit of the AMA guidelines. Is it completely ethical? What about doctors owning significant shares in medical device companies and pharmaceutical companies - is this ethical? Does it create a COI ( Conflict of interest?)<br /><br />Since some seem bound to only argue about the efficacy of these hospitals, consider the unfairness of the competition that the scenario of the physician owned hospital creates. It is known that these hospitals slough off the uninsured to the not for profit hospitals in the community, causing these hospitals to go deeper into debt - is this fair? No it isn't, these hospitals seem to specifically cater to citizens that are of a certain class, totally ignoring the 47 million un insured Americans - See the next article getting posted.Former Marketinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141174600868695378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002218232182793493.post-79336807889096873942009-08-05T16:04:14.052-07:002009-08-05T16:04:14.052-07:00The incident in Colorado is a one time occurence. ...The incident in Colorado is a one time occurence. This is not common for physician owned hospitals. Physician owned hospitals are some of the best in the country. Many people probably are not aware of this, but recently, US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid released data which exhibited notcieably better outcomes for patients at physician owned hospitals as opposed to those controlled by bureaucrats and corporations. Hopefully, negative attitudes and perceptions about physician owned hospitals will change in the near future, as this is a large part of the current healthcare reform debate that is occuring in our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002218232182793493.post-11481225679521518202009-08-05T12:16:59.071-07:002009-08-05T12:16:59.071-07:00100,000 PREVENTABLE deaths per year at hospitals n...100,000 PREVENTABLE deaths per year at hospitals nationwide.

It becomes difficult to follow conversations if a number of people are using the same name. You can make up your own name and you’ll still be anonymous but at least different.<br /><br />Choose the Name/URL and make up a name, you don't have to list a URL. It will accept a blank.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002218232182793493.post-9823073943437973292009-07-31T14:56:41.874-07:002009-07-31T14:56:41.874-07:00Not all physician hospitals are in this category. ...Not all physician hospitals are in this category.

Hawkins took over as CEO last August and since then Medtronic has cut jobs and taken other steps to trim costs. A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission showed his compensation included a $2.2 million performance bonus and $1.2 million in salary, plus stock worth $5.5 million.Gluttonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002218232182793493.post-86247924890131665702009-07-31T10:46:28.843-07:002009-07-31T10:46:28.843-07:00The AMA Code of Ethics can be found at:
