Alternative Risk Support Services
In today's malpractice environment, traditional medical malpractice insurance
is usually unacceptably priced if it is even available. "First dollar" self insurance
or the retention of larger and larger per incident risk exposures has become the new
operating reality. Though necessary, these new insurance arrangements create added
and very significant financial exposures for clinicians and clinician organizations
that cannot be ignored.
Operating under these new circumstances without first preparing your clinicians
for the associated substantive changes is a recipe for disaster. These added risks
require immediate reprioritization of organizational goals and a realignment of
organizational and individual incentives. In order to succeed in an alternative
risk arrangement, all resources must be focused on modification of physician
behaviors via the creation and management of structure and processes that will
ultimately allow your self-insurance vehicle to thrive.
At Skyview,
we are ideally situated to assist your organization
with the creation, implementation and management
of these critical changes. Skyview is a physician-owned
consulting company that utilizes experienced

physician organizational change. Our seasoned
