Financial analysis critical to physician alliances.
Although physician support programs have gained in popularity in recent years, organizations must be careful to select the most effective mix of physician relations programs. A healthcare financial manager can help create a productive physician alliance program by analyzing physicians as strategic business units, providing financial and analytical support for program assessment, screening programs for legal risks, and assessing an alliance program's risks in terms of antifraud and abuse legislation, tax laws, and private inurement issues.
