If necessary, you might offer constr­uctive feedback or recommend additional training opport­unities to help them improve their perfor­mance.
2. Implement risk management program. E.g. The manager identify and mitigate financial risks that could impact the clinic­'s sustai­nab­ility or reputa­tion. This might involve implem­enting internal controls to prevent billing errors or fraud, conducting audits to ensure compliance with financial policies, or mainta­ining approp­riate insurance coverage.
