Practice Facilitation Sample Clauses

The Practice Facilitation clause outlines the responsibilities and procedures for supporting and guiding a professional practice, such as a medical or legal office, in improving its operations or implementing new processes. Typically, this clause specifies the scope of facilitation services, the roles of facilitators, and the expectations for collaboration between the facilitator and the practice staff. By clearly defining these elements, the clause ensures that both parties understand their obligations and the intended outcomes, ultimately promoting effective practice improvement and minimizing misunderstandings.
