title: The seven deadly sins of physician practice management. How to stop committing them to gain a competitive edge.
abstract: Many words have been written about how the marketplace is changing--and hurting--medical group practice. However, not all problems are external. Physicians and managers are doing some of the harm to themselves. "Deadly sins," including a lack of urgency, copycat strategies, trend chasing and the creation of meaningless networks, inhibit growth. Avoiding these mistakes can make it easier to handle those changes group practices can't control.
