Determining Practice Economic Interests

Understanding Modern Valuation Science

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™

[Publisher-in-Chief]

Much has been written, and much has been said about the goals, objectives, reasons, techniques and methodology of professional medical practice appraisals online at the Executive-Post.

In fact, the material on medical valuations and practice worth appraisals is consistently one of our most frequently viewed topics with its own separate category of posts.

But, with several thousand unique daily viewers searching this topic alone, and dozens of doctors and healthcare executives requesting additional information in the form of our white-papers, books, wiki’s, websites, blog-posts, emails, consulting and speaking engagements; its popularity is not surprising.

Of course, the most actionable information is presented in our premium institutional 1,200 pages, 2-volume print guide Healthcare Organizations [Financial Management Strategies] http://www.stpub.com/pubs/ho.htm

This quarterly subscription journal is modestly priced at $525/year and contains more than 200 pages devoted to many sub-topics of this fluctuating and important practice management and financial planning endeavor. And, increasingly such detailed material is needed in the changing healthcare economics milieu http://www.stpub.com/pdfs/toc_ho.pdf

And so, as a requested overview of how to determine medical practice economic interests, this checklist is an indispensable tool when pro-actively contemplating – or retro-actively reviewing – any medical practice appraisal engagement or practice worth analysis https://healthcarefinancials.wordpress.com/category/practice-worth

Conclusion

Remember, this is only the minimum data for analysis. And, although there are many reasons to have your medical practice appraised, and three major types of valuation engagements to obtain, the end result matters little if it is not read and understood within the context of its’ enterprise-wide applications. Therefore, your thoughts, opinions and experiences are appreciated?
