Doesn a solo practice or small practice doctor have access to the same “breaking health news” and use that in caring for patients?
• In theory, any one doctor does have equal access to the latest information, but in practice, the case is quite different. • The volume and speed at which new information is constantly made available to the medical community would easily overwhelm one, two, five, or even ten doctors if they tried to keep tabs on it all. • Multispecialty medical groups have the infrastructure and support to access the newest information, summarize key points for their doctors to learn, and disseminate the information their clinicians. • In addition to having the advantage of sheer numbers for staying abreast of the latest research, physician groups are also better at turning theory into practice. • Because of their use of care-management processes, a group can assess a new treatment and alter its practice more efficiently.
