title: Connecting (with) the docs.
abstract: To achieve a successful physician practice ownership strategy, health systems need to understand the operational differences between physician practices and hospitals. Establishing a culture of collaboration is an essential first step to effectively meeting the practice's operational requirements. Team-building, particularly where finance staff work with physician office staff to address key revenue cycle concerns, is another important key to success.
