The Current Environment
For many reasons—managed care, compliance, third-party payers, regulators and declining reimbursements—the need to conduct a careful and comprehensive assessment of practice operations and financial management is necessary. Like any business, if a medical practice is going to succeed, it must continually assess its operations and monitor performance.
