title: Power and authority: their meaning for group practice administrators.
abstract: The word power is filled with meaning. It can't be spoken without creating some type of reaction. Power is a key issue in our lives. Authors Mikel Lynch and Seth Allcorn, Ph.D., look at power and authority through a scenario involving a physician and an administrator to show how it can be used effectively in a group practice setting.
