In this episode of the Growing a Successful Orthopedic Practice Podcast, Jonathan Yerasimides, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon at Louisville Hip and Knee Institute, and Alice Shade, CEO and President of 4 A Ventures, join Keith Landry, to offer orthopedic physicians and practice managers a blueprint to leave the hospital system and open an independent practice.
Dr. Yerasimides says physicians going independent have to let go and let a business operations expert put the details in place to establish and scale an independent practice. Shade says it's important to surround the surgeons with strong legal, human resources and information technology teams so they can focus on doing surgical procedures.
Tune in to discover:
- Things independent physicians never thought of until they already took the leap
- Be willing to use different systems in an independent practice than at the hospital
- Exercises to see how employees interact as a team to achieve best results
- Two reasons why some orthopedic physicians should stay put within the hospital system
