Cleveland, Indianapolis and Greenville, S.C., healthcare markets may be close to saturation in hospital employment of primary care physicians and specialists, according to a study by the Center for Studying Health System Change.
In contrast, northern New Jersey and Miami faced low physician interest in employment.
The study, "Key Findings from HSC's 2010 Site Visits: Health Care Markets Weather Economic Downturn, Brace for Health Reform," includes healthcare trends in Boston; Cleveland; Greenville, S.C.; Indianapolis; Lansing, Mich.; Little Rock, Ark.; Miami; northern New Jersey; Orange County, Calif.; Phoenix; Seattle; and Syracuse, N.Y.
The authors also found that while there are still strained relations between physicians and hospitals, more physicians are actively seeking employment and more hospitals are employing physicians than in the past.
