Regarding the EM Workforce Newletter - the absence of contract management groups within your list of ACEP Board of Directors may be in error.
1 - AdventHealth Central Florida ERs are staffed by TEAM HEALTH - the "Clinical Employer" provided in your list of ACEP Board of directors may be a subsidiary of TEAM HEALTH.
- Let me know if any of the listed groups are not independent groups (subsidiaries of another group). From everything I have found, each of the groups I listed are independent. You're right that I don't know those group's internal structures (eg: how partnership is distributed, etc).

2 - US Acute Care Solutions - is a Contract Management Group backed by private equity (Apollo Global Management) - https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/96893
3 - Hard to tell if any of the other "democratic" groups are real or subsidiaries of larger Contract Management Groups.
Hi Dr. Rothrock,
Thanks for the comment. A few thoughts:
- Per her LinkedIn profile, Dr. McCabe-Kline is currently the CMIO of AdventHealth (admin). Prior to that, she worked clinically with EMPros: https://emprosonline.com/about-us/. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-mccabe-kline-md-b7a78b118/details/experience/
- USACS is majority owned by its practicing physicians. They do have an investment from Apollo Global, but Apollo has <10% ownership. https://www.usacs.com/resources/news/usacs-wcas | https://www.apollo.com/media/press-releases/2021/02-09-2021-130039459
