Operating a profitable and compliant health care facility requires a solid plan at the outset that considers potential legal challenges, tax laws, human resource policies, risk management, state regulations and a myriad of other issues. Taking the right steps at the beginning will ensure the day-to-day focus can be on patient care, rather than business operations.
