1. The planning process helps identify issues that can hurt or help the group and allows the group to prepare for them.
2. The planning process allows each physician to communicate his or her vision of the future, after which the group can work to develop consensus in their objectives and goals.
3. Key issues are highlighted, discussed and resolved during the planning process.
4. The plan provides direction to and sets priorities for the administrative staff for implementation.
5. The planning process and completed plan improves communication to both physicians and staff.
6. If progress is tracked against the plan, performance measurement can be improved.
7. Physician recruitment can be enhanced as potential recruits can quickly understand if their long-range goals are in line with the group’s goals.
