When to hire a consultant

Written by Reed Tinsley | April 3, 2008

From the Medical Group Management Association (www.mgma.com):

  • When you need an objective point of view
  • When the problem or situation is short-term
  • When the problem requires special expertise
  • When your practice's financial situation is not favorable toward hiring permanent staff
  • When your practice is facing a major crisis
  • When your practice seems to always be operating in crisis-management mode

These are just few; can you think of any others? Let me know.
