And I do think understanding that is always critical.
And that's why having those voices in the management team are really critical because it grounds the direction of the management, at least, in what's needed for patient care and for our physicians.
That's where it's really important to understand the separation of the broader goals of the PE company and the direct goals of the groups and the management of those groups.
Please be gentle.
You know, I do want to leave with one thing, which is like what we always should be looking about is how do we best empower our doctors and our patients?
The cost of care of medicine is not being driven by these types of arrangements.
In fact.
depending on you know they're different they're different ways to look at it but cost of care is not being driven by by independent practices right it's largely being driven as you said this by inpatient care right yeah and so you know we need to be looking for models this is only one we need to be looking for models that are disruptive of what overall consolidation it means right i mean you know yeah
They're only something in the range of, I think it's 8% of urologists in the country that are a part of these types of arrangements.
So I think it's easy to kind of get overblown as to what's really happening out there, as opposed to what some of the real undercurrents are that are getting in the way of what we're all trying to do for our patients, right?
So, you know, I would hope that there would be a little bit less of this kind of
you know, let's throw bombs one way or the other.
And, you know, seeing doctors kind of, you know, criticize their fellow doctors for decisions that are being made without full understanding is part of the problem as well, right?
We want to make sure that we are policing our own, but at the same time, we're actually not taking our eye off some of those others that are really creating problems, whether it be with
you know, the Medicare fee schedule, regulation around what we do, the inability for us to have a voice oftentimes in our care for our patients and everything that's happening in different levels.
So hopefully we continue to have these types of discussions because I think it truly is just about trying to preserve different models and keep practices independent from other models that have shown more dominance of late.
Great points.
