Business Planning

HTI's process for ensuring quality cancer care begins with understanding the local marketplace. As potential hospital and physician partners are identified, HTI's team of cancer program development specialists reviews the market, conducts in-depth interviews with key players, and completes a feasibility study. If the feasibility study is favorable, HTI will prepare a full business plan which includes a complete understanding of the:

• cancer program vision and overall program elements;
• organizational structure including equity ownership;
• market potential and financial viability;
• equipment specifications and facilities/land requirements;
• staffing requirements; and,
• marketing strategies.

Commitment to Proceed
As business planning is completed, consensus is gained on moving forward and on the details of the organizational and ownership structure. Legal documents are drafted and executed including a partnership agreement, a management contract and any lease arrangements.
