Medical group administrators are quickly learning what big business has known for years-mergers and acquisitions represent a new and powerful option. If this option is to be employed successfully, however, group management has to understand the terms and be prepared well before merger or acquisition talk begins.
Author Richard Holdren writes that medical practice acquisition can have a dramatic impact on hospital and group practice revenue in a "zero-sum game," where both parties are competing for a shrinking patient and dollar base. Holdren describes how such a program is built on the concepts of support management and "grow your own."
