​​​Physicians undoubtedly make a vital impact on the quality of care available in the communities they serve, but what is their economic impact? IHA Endorsed Business Partner Merritt Hawkins addresses this question in a new white paper. This paper includes numbers from a recent report from the American Medical Association that shows that the economic contributions physicians make have grown significantly over the last several years. New data show that office-based physicians, for example, generate $3.1 million on average in economic output, up from $2.2 million based on previous data. The information included in this white paper can help hospitals determine the costs and benefits of physician recruiting.​

If you have questions about the white paper, or if you would like to discuss your current physician recruiting needs, please contact Ben Jones, regional vice president, at 469-524-1652 or Ben.Jo​nes@MerrittHawkins.com.
