Well, that's the story, let's look behind it. The Lahey Clinic has been aware of this blog for a long time. Sometimes three different logins simultaneously. So, after months, they offer to partner...I really don't think that the doctors will be going to MVH, more the patients going to the clinics for follow-up.
It's kind of like a hunter and a salt lick. You place the lick during the off season to get deer used to going there. When the season opens, you know where they'll be...in their comfort zone.
They can see when a hospital is on it's way down, and having a patient base comfortable with going to Burlington and other locations is a way to lock down your bid on the remnants.
Actually, it will probably do the patients a service, but the physicians on staff might have some problems with it.
Kind of funny in a way, a bean counter being beaten by another bean counter with some vision...and it isn't even that original: Advanced Heart has been doing it to PRMC for years.
