    • Previous research has not fully explored factors influencing physician support during mergers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To empirically document physician support for a recent hospital merger.
    • To identify physician characteristics and involvement factors associated with merger support.

  • Statistical examination of the impact of formal (task force) versus perceived input on support.

    • Main Results:

    • Physicians in private practice, anesthesiologists, and those dissatisfied with hospital administration showed the least merger support.
    • Formal involvement in merger task forces had minimal impact on increasing physician support.
    • A significant positive correlation was found between perceived physician input and merger support, irrespective of formal structures.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician support for hospital mergers is influenced by specialty, practice type, and administrative satisfaction.
    • Perceived influence and input are more critical drivers of physician support than formal participation.
    • Effective strategies for hospital mergers should prioritize creating a sense of physician involvement and value.
