Preparation of a Proposal for a Federal Healthcare Contract
Bidding on a government contract for services your hospital already renders can be an attractive way to bring additional revenue into your organization. But first you have to get past the daunting rules and regulations in the government's RFP, says Scott Honiberg. In this article, Honiberg walks you through a bidding process that might be quite refreshing: Instead of the government telling you what your organization will get for a procedure, you tell the government the price you're willing to accept.

Can the Medical Home Save Primary Care?
A report by the American Academy of Family Physicians in 2004 said that primary care was in trouble, and there may be no way to save it. Since then, the news has not improved. In 2007, 16% of first-year family practice residency slots went unfilled. More than 50% of those slots that were filled were taken by international medical graduates, underscoring the lack of interest U.S. medical graduates have in primary care. Although still somewhat vague, the medical home model is being touted as the most visible solution to the primary care crisis.
