Abstract

711 More broad-based changes in provider payments as well as newer models of care delivery will cause us to adapt. Some of these changes may, in fact, attempt to reduce the differential in compensation between primary care and subspecialty physician services. However, we are in a large boat here with many other similarly concerned specialties. In our favor, we have responded to reimbursement reforms by becoming much more efficient and more adept at managing change. The future of the specialty is quite strong. Continued innovation and collaboration with clinical colleagues have made us indispensable. Our capacity to positively impact patients’ lives is ever more obvious and increasing. Howard P.
