How do HMA hospitals determine whether there is a need for physcians of particular specialties in their respective communities?
All HMA hospitals engage independent companies specializing in physician needs assessments in order to recommended physician levels for each relevant specialty based on community demographic information, utilization, attrition analysis and standardized physician-to-population ratios. Before any HMA hospital agrees to recruit a physician of any specialty to its community, there has already been independent expert verification that the community has a need for a physician who practices that specialty. In HMA’s experience, physicians who relocate to and establish their practices in communities that have demonstrated demands for additional physicians increase the likelihood that their medical practices will be successful.
