A conversation
with Marc Wortman

A running conversation about children

Patients, doctors and the bottom line
Market forces and a changing world of medicine have prompted Yale’s 650-member physician organization to take a closer look at the way it does business. A greater emphasis on patient service, detailed practice standards and better ways of tracking data are emblematic of a changing culture within the school’s clinical enterprise.
By John Curtis
