Summary
- Cowork medical is an integral part of innovations needed to improve delivery of healthcare nationally. Our innovation is accomplished via a growth and synergies possible through a coworking model, providing turnkey offices and the resources independ phys cannot obtain on their own and giving the physicians the ability to scale their practice as they see fit and to achieve a work-life balance they desire.
Why this innovation? The problems of mounting educational debt compounded with the overwhelmingly high costs of starting and running a practice pose seemingly insurmountable barriers to entry for contemporary physicians in attaining an independent practice. The increasing regulatory burdens of practicing medicine which serve to erode the physician/patient relationship by prioritizing clicks in an EMR to face-to-face interactions, further aggravates the existing barriers and provides the recipe for a generation of physicians who feel as though they’ve lost autonomy and are facing professional burnout at alarming rates. The graduating residents are choosing employment perhaps out of lack of options and necessity rather than pure volition. So how do we overcome the barriers to independent practice?
A medical coworking model, when deployed beyond just a real-estate based medical-office sharing establishment or as a temporary overhead fixes for poorly planned medical practices, has the potential to allow its member physicians to stay independent and yet benefit from the shared economy. The benefits of membership in a well-structured physician coworking model should be viewed as financial, operational, and professional as well as immediate and long-term benefits.
