↵aOwnership structures: independent practices do not have any ownership relationships beyond the practice itself. Systems include medical group practices owned by an organization that owns other practices but no hospital, simple system practices owned by an organization that owns other practices and ≥1 hospital, and complex system practices owned by an organization that itself owns a medical group or another system (ie, a system within a system).
↵bPractice size defined according to number of physicians.
