title: The art and science of medical group turnarounds. Acting in several directions at once, acting at several points in time.
abstract: Developing a strategy and turnaround plan for a struggling medical group practice requires a combination of art and science. Orchestrating an effective about-face calls for decisive action on several fronts at once. Too many groups are slow to recognize the need to rescue a perilous situation. And rather than taking immediate action on multiple fronts, they try taking incremental steps over time. Implementing a successful turnaround requires both the diligence of follow-through and the vision to make necessary adjustments throughout the process.
