In order to be successful in today’s health care environment, physicians in individual or group practices must focus on practice issues beyond the clinical delivery of care and management of their patients. Pressures from managed care plans, competitive organizations and other entities are forcing physicians to put critical focus on areas such as strategic planning, contract negotiation and management and office management.

A thorough practice analysis is equally vital to the hospitals that are affiliated with the physicians. By assisting affiliated physicians to manage their practices more efficiently, hospital administrators can help to ensure the success of their existing physician partnerships while also presenting an environment which is attractive to new service providers.
