These services will expand and enhance the quality of care provided to patients. Nuclear-Oncology, S.C., under this arrangement, will provide physicians who will have the overall responsibility for patient care activities, including physical assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, administration of radiation therapy, and ongoing patient care. The physician(s) provided will also be responsible for teaching appropriate medical and nursing staff and performance of medical administrative functions. Faculty appointments and clinical privileges will be granted to physicians provided by Nuclear-Oncology, S.C., in accordance with the College of Medicine and Hospital Medical Staff Bylaws. A bill for professional services will be rendered through the Medical Service Plan to offset the cost of contract physicians; funds collected will be transferred to the Hospital Income Fund. UIH will bill and collect for patient care services rendered as usual. The proposed one-year contract, effective July 15, 1992, provides for the services of 1.5 FTE physicians, at a total cost of $540,000.
