We believe that maintaining physician control of healthcare decision-making results in the highest quality of care for patients and most efficient use of healthcare resources. Our mission is to support medical groups who choose to remain independent by providing information, resources and political advocacy.

Issues which arise from private equity firms operating in the healthcare sector will not be fixed overnight. However, even despite setbacks, it is encouraging to see, "[t]here’s enough momentum there that [scrutiny and regulation] will continue." https://lnkd.in/dpKGMkf6
We’re always working with our connections and building relationships focused on advocacy for independent medicine! Pictured here, Dr. Marco Fernandez with the ILLINOIS SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGISTS delegation to ensure the state's voices were heard when it came to policy and legislation being discussed at American Society of Anesthesiologists? annual conference a few weeks ago in Philadelphia. #anesthesia #AIM #independentmedicine #independentphysicians
Loving the national focus on all the efforts taking place to fight against private equity! There's a number of amazing groups out there putting their efforts together to change the healthcare environment and we're proud to be one of them!

When like-minded organizations come together, good things happen. Whether advocacy and legislation-focused or networking and resource-oriented, we're proud to align with the Coalition for Patient Centered Care and Take Medicine Back. We want to work closely with other independent-focused groups too - please share in the comments or email us with the names of other groups we should be in touch with! [email protected].
Mark your calendars for Thursday, November 14 for our final Toolkit Series discussion, this time all about negotiations. We'll be gathering over Zoom to discuss strategies for payer and hospital negotiations and how to navigate the emotional and practical elements of negotiating for a successful dialogue and outcome. Sign up here and we'll share the Zoom link the morning of the event. https://lnkd.in/gTFkx6bu #AIM #associationforindependentmedicine #practicemanagement #independentphysician #independenthealthcare #privatepractice #negotiations #physiciannegotiations #hospitalnegotiations #payernegotiations
"...when private equity firms come in and buy out struggling health care facilities, the goal is often to make a profit, which could mean cutting services or staff, endangering patient outcomes." We support Coalition for Patient Centered Care and the efforts to bring more legislation around the management and review of private equity involvement in healthcare and acquisitions.
Although we were disappointed CA's AB 3129 did not become law. As a coalition dedicated to quality patient care, we are encouraged that policymakers both at the state and federal level are continuing to combat private equity in healthcare. This is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed due to the negative effect private equity investment in the healthcare sector has on workers and patients alike. https://lnkd.in/eSGKwdEM
"Burnout" is a word we've been hearing a lot about lately and, unfortunately, it's a real problem among physicians. We addressed some strategies for combating burnout in out last Toolkit Series discussion, which included enacting a shared leadership model, ensuring decision-making frameworks are in place and employing regular feedback mechanisms. We have one more Toolkit Session coming up 11/14 about negotiations - with payers, hospitals and more. Stay tuned for the signup form right here and reach out if AIM can help with burnout, governance, negotiations or more for your independent practice. #independentmedicine #independentphysicians #independentpractice #privatepractice #AIM #associationforindependentmedicine #burnout #physicianwellbeing #physicianburnout
Our President Dr. Marco Fernandez attended the American Society of Anesthesiologists? annual conference this past weekend where he worked tirelessly to make connections and discuss the negative impacts of private equity on healthcare. Kind of ironic, given the conference was sponsored by a number of PE-backed groups with signage everywhere. Just another reason why our fight?for independence is so important - to prioritize patient care and safety and stay free from financial and managerial pressures placed upon physicians by non-medical professionals. We welcome Dr. Arnold as president of the ASA and look forward to more independent physician-led leadership of physician member organizations so they can distance themselves from the influence of the corporate practice of medicine.
