title: Physician network audits can improve financial performance.
abstract: A physician network audit is one way to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a network's performance in five key areas: practice operations, financial management, strategy and vision, managed care readiness, and organizational governance. An objective, comprehensive audit can help identify real versus perceived problems that are troubling a network. Then steps can be taken to align incentives and improve operating results.
