Where were you in '82?

1982 was a pivotal year for the US healthcare delivery system. With it came the reality of a new era, an unexplored environment or competition and market reform. The decade ahead means troubled times for some healthcare providers, but it also offers unique opportunities to design and shape a rapidly changing healthcare system. By recognizing trends we are currently experiencing and their impact on group practices, and by identifying what administrators can do to prepare personally and organizationally for the future, medical group practices can place themselves in excellent position for entering the system of the '80s and '90s. The survivors are destined to reap unprecedented economic and professional rewards.
