Practice management agreements: the core of the MSO-group practice alliance.
Physician group practices increasingly are negotiating practice management agreements with management service organizations (MSOs).

The scope of the management commitment must be established and the agreement must provide sufficient flexibility to allow the physicians and MSO to mutually benefit from market-place changes.
