Officials at the Siouxland Surgery Center, a physician-owned hospital in Dakota Dunes, S.D., see the provisions prohibiting doctors from opening their own hospitals and limiting new construction at existing facilities as a potential recruiting tool to bring new physicians to their community, according to the Journal.
Greg Miner, Siouxland Surgery Center’s administrator, told the Journal that as one of only 200 physician-owned hospitals in the country, his hospital is in a good position to attract physicians who see the appeal of a more efficient care setting where they have greater control than they would in a hospital setting.
