In an opinion piece, Crain's Detroit Business publisher Mary Kramer calls on The Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University to resolve their differences regarding the contract governing their relationship. According to Kramer, the contract, which was originally adopted in 1998 and extended since 2001, earns the school and its 700 physicians about $80 million from The DMC directly and an additional $120 million in physician fees for services performed -- paid through Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. "If WSU loses its residency program," Kramer writes, "it will create chaos and hurt care for the poor and uninsured in the city." She also says it would cause a flood of patients at other area hospitals. She offers two suggestions: First, the governing boards of both institutions - the Wayne State University Board of Governors and the Detroit Medical Center - could meet together; and, secondly, Gov. Jennifer Granholm could intervene and find an impartial third party to facilitate mediation or binding arbitration. "Both boards have smart, talented leaders," Kramer concludes. "They should get involved to avert this train wreck before it's too late."
