Community physicians, both specialists and generalists, based outside of a hospital or unemployed by a hospital, can experience disconnects with hospitals and other health care facilities. This disconnect can exacerbate issues with continuity of care, create barriers to ongoing patient interaction, and restrict professional opportunities for non-employed physicians. In this session, we will revisit the OMSS's 2013 exploration of this topic, which resulted in the report “Medical Staff and Hospital Engagement of Community Physicians.” Join us to explore the report's five recommended engagement strategies for improving community physician interactions with health care facilities and engage with opportunities for strategic brainstorming and discussion.
