Description:
In the age of health care reform, where the funds needed to support health organizations are tight, careful attention needs to be devoted to the whys and hows of spending money. Business planning is vital to any health care enterprise. Everything from starting a practice, hiring a new provider, buying a piece of equipment, starting or adding to a service line requires careful planning in order to ensure success. Careful attention to business planning ensures that the proper decisions are made for the right reasons. With this foundation we will take you through the process of constructing a business plan that will hold up to the scrutiny of any business professional. Finally, you will be able to view and share in the evaluation of real business plans on adding a service line, hiring additional providers and purchasing new equipment, meant to hone your skills and reinforce your knowledge.
