Organizations must be willing to invest in management and not view it as a necessary expense. Governing bodies simply cannot underestimate the value and potential return of a strong management team.
Every year an estimated 20% of all medical groups and physician networks lose their senior manager for one reason or another. As a consequence, many face general revenue and cost management problems and a loss of valuable time.
