What are the major differences between the Faculty Practice Plan and UI Physicians?
UI Physicians envisions a broader involvement of faculty and chairs into the governance of the practice plan. UI Physicians is a practice moving toward a fully integrated multi-specialty group format for the best possible efficiency of care. UI Physicians stimulates the departments to work in a more coordinated, seamless fashion. It is a structure that helps faculty physicians exert more control over their practice. Through UI Physicians the faculty physicians are going to have a unified voice. The goal is to create a more cohesive group with the ability to act more aggressively in negotiating contracts and speaking out on issues that faculty physicians haven’t been effectively involved with in the past, thus, increasing efficiency and productivity.
