Practical Guidance for Physician-Investor Meetings: Q&A With Brian Brown of Meridian Surgical Partners

Brian Brown is regional vice president of operations of Meridian Surgical Partners.

Q: How often should all of our physician-investors meet, and what should be discussed during these meetings?

Brian Brown: Physician-investors should meet at least quarterly to go over the financial standing of the center, quality assurance updates and any review of items regulated by the center's accrediting body along with any other topics of discussion for the partnership. If more issues are present and need to be discussed on a more regular basis, monthly meetings should be held. Even weekly telephonic conference calls can be held if necessary to make decisions or resolve issues. For example, when a center opens, more regular meetings may be necessary with all the decisions being made.
