He edited the word - it was what's commonly known as a brain-fart. Up here in the "old" section, the hospital and TVH are right next to each other, and it's easy for our fingers to type out one when we mean the other, because we see them as connected and by extension, synonymous. Even though they're obviously not the same thing.
Meanwhile - the doctors themselves have little to do with, and no say in the administrative events of the company they work for. They're not share-holders or even subcontractors. They're employees. So I'm thinking we will likely not see any change with regards to patient care, unless those doctors leave the company and move on to other groups or practices.
Referrals and billing procedures might change. Costs might go up. Co-pays might change. But the annual physical performed by your physician is likely to be exactly as it was the last time you had one.
