“Jim’s prior legal experience, business acumen, and world-wide physician relationships make him an ideal fit with SMP,” said Shaun Riney, SMP CEO/president. “Jim is one of those rare individuals who tapped into a new and unique niche designing innovative models for physicians eager to move into private practice to better serve their patients.

“SMP is emerging as a real player in the private physician industry by providing physicians a new way to look at the management of their practice to enhance their relationship with their patients, to navigate a complex regulatory environment, and offer solutions to streamline efficiencies in the doctor’s practice,” noted Eischen. “Though the medical world has shifted dramatically in the past several decades the physician’s vision remains the same: bring the best care possible to their patients and build long-lasting relationships that are satisfying and productive. My passion, and that of SMP, is to help physicians realize that vision, and to take advantage of massive national interest in health care reform to design and implement effective care models and solutions.”
