Practice enhancement strengthens hospital-physician ties.
In the increasingly competitive U.S. healthcare environment, hospitals must be concerned with maintaining and increasing the number of patients admitted. A key strategy for hospitals is to fortify relationships with physicians who admit and refer patients. Practice enhancement services designed to improve the strategic, financial, and administrative operation of physicians' practices can contribute significantly to the development of positive hospital-physician relationships.
