The Corporate Practice of Medicine – Competition & Innovation in Health Care (Paper): Competition and Innovation in Health Care: 1 (California/Milbank Books on Health and the Public)

Six years after publication, this is still an outstanding primer on the business of healthcare at the organizational level. I was impressed with Prof. Robinson's understanding of the industry from an economic perspective, and enjoyed his straightforward discussions of the market forces that have shaped the industry over the past twenty years. Highly recommended for those wanting to learn more about the fundamental business drivers of HMOs, IPAs, PHOs, and multispecialty medical groups.
