title: Service management.
abstract: Superior service is the outcome of a dedicated planning methodology. Medical groups that plan and manage for patients' service needs will achieve market differentiation, enjoy enhanced levels of staff development and motivation and improve long-term financial performance. Medical groups that ignore the importance of service excellence will find themselves trailing those groups that provide superior service to their patients.
