  • Title: Combining accounting approaches to practice valuation.
    Author: Schwartzben D, Finkler SA.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1998 Jun; 52(6):70-4, 76. PubMed ID: 10179975.
    Abstract:
    Healthcare organizations that wish to acquire physician or ambulatory care practices can choose from a variety of practice valuation approaches. Basic accounting methods assess the value of a physician practice on the basis of a historical, balance-sheet description of tangible assets. Yet these methods alone are inadequate to determine the true financial value of a practice. By using a combination of accounting approaches to practice valuation that consider factors such as fair market value, opportunity cost, and discounted cash flow over a defined time period, organizations can more accurately assess a practice's actual value.
