In the last decade, the traditional conception of individual physicians or medical groups has been increasingly replaced by consolidation under academic medical centers and other national or regional administrative organizations. What are the implications of such organizational changes for patient care, and how has this trend contributed to overall rising health care costs? How well are antitrust laws designed to ensure proper government oversight of mergers and the entities that result?
