Addressing operational issues in medical practice development.

Even after a buyer for a medical practice has been found by a hospital's medical practice development team, potential problems could arise. Financing arrangements have been taken care of by the development team, but legal, operational, and additional financial issues still remain and must be addressed before the acquisition is finalized. In this final article of a two-part series on medical practice development, the operational issues of buying a physician practice are discussed. Acquisition of a medical practice and the transfer of patient loyalty can contain problem areas that must be addressed before the transition is initiated.

Strengthening physician bonds through practice development planning.

As the delivery of health care continues to evolve in an increasingly competitive environment, the alliances between healthcare institutions and physician providers become an important key to the prosperity and ultimate survival of both parties. In this first article of a two-part series, a case study of one healthcare system's program of physician practice development is presented, focusing on the events leading up to the inception of the program, goals of the program, and the protocol and rationale of a physician practice enhancement project. The second article in this series will discuss the operational process as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in developing and establishing a medical practice for management.
