title: Annual financial physicals: just what the doctor ordered.
abstract: To compete in the healthcare marketplace, healthcare organizations need a fully integrated financial model to analyze strategic financial decisions, rank future projects, monitor critical success factors, and analyze the effect of joint ventures on the financial health of the organization. In other words, organizations need to submit themselves to an annual financial physical that like a human physical monitors vital signs, identifies problem areas, and develops action plans for future success and health.
