“After a private equity acquisition of a practice, doctors are highly likely to leave that practice in the next two years, as measured by billing out of another practice.”
Summary of the JAMA Health Forum case-control study 'Sale of Private Equity-Owned Physician Practices and Physician Turnover'. The author states as a standing rule that physicians are highly likely to leave a practice within two years of a PE acquisition/exit (roughly 20 percent more likely to work elsewhere).
Descriptive, retrospective, or a statement of preference; no future state asserted.
