1/ An Alternate Metric for both Doctors and Hospitals: Revenue/Doctor

Does it depend on:

  1. The size of the Hospital chain?

  2. The future expansion plan?

  3. The amount of external PE funding?

  4. The Specialty-mix of the hospital?

  5. The avg. No. of Years the hospital's been running?

  6. The Skill & Exp. of the Doctors?

  7. The ARPOB & other Pricing mechanisms?

  8. The competition?

  9. The BRAND-pull of the hospital?

  10. The Insurance Panel?

But again, What do you think? As a Doctor, do you know or want to know-

1) How much did you contribute to the hospital?

2) Do you think it'll help you better negotiate?
