Cost control should extend to legal services.

While a healthcare organization may consider legal services to be outside its management scope, control of legal spending is within a hospital's grasp. Whether an organization is large or active enough to merit an internal legal staff, an administrative position should be established to centralize management of legal services. A hospital may choose to undertake a cost reduction audit, which can determine the feasibility of an internal legal staff and coordinate competitive proposals from outside law firms handling litigation.
