Followup to yesterday’s story on doctor-staffed retail clinics. A sly move by the hospital to generate revenue increase admissions?
They will be able to increase admissions to the hospitals, since these pharmacy docs have admitting privileges. So if they lose it on one end, they’ll get it back on the other. Good for them. It’s this kind of entrepreneurial thinking that makes me proud to be an American.
