• Physician input on policies and procedures
• Monitoring and follow up on risk management issues

• Employee management/policy and procedure – recruiting, hiring, discipline, evaluations, benefits
• Technology – transition of billing and EMR systems, security, standards for use, service contracts
• Patient transition to different coverage – office based vs. hospital based
