I'm pretty sure that the only similarity to Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic mentioned as a template for the new TV medical home clinics is: That the physicians would be paid a decent salary instead of having to try to stay solvent in private practice relying mostly on Medicare payments that are under actual cost of running a practice.
Salaried pay is where similarities would end, I think, considering the research and
residents in training who treat the patients at Mayo......
