How would you evaluate what Sue has done so far? What is positive?

Negative?

Sue Handly, MD, was recently recruited into a multispecialty group of 40 physicians. The clinic offered a wide scope of services, including a relatively sophisticated radiology department, physical therapy, and a same-day surgery unit. The clinic had been growing and employed highly trained healthcare providers.

In addition to her medical degree, Sue had completed a master’s degree in health administration while she was practicing in South Carolina.

She had always wanted to return home to Texas and, after an extensive search, found this group in a suburb of Austin, which was relatively close to her hometown. During her management training, she thoroughly enjoyed the time she spent with the health system’s organizational development team, which performed team building with different system groups and committees to improve their performance.
