Solution Summary

The expert describes at least four marketing methods used by hospitals to bind physicians to the institution.

Solution Preview

One of the major marketing methods used by hospitals to bind physicians to their institution is profit sharing option. Rather than engaging physicians on salary, hospitals pay a percentage of the overall profits/revenues contributed by the physician to the hospital. Sometimes, the arrangement may be a combination of retainer fee plus percentage of revenues/profits.

Another financial incentive used by hospitals to retain physicians is offering stock options to the physicians to make them feel an inherent part of the organization.
