Fostering physician alignment
Topics: Collaborative Relationships, Physician Issues, Hospital-Physician Alignment
Get administration involved
Physicians reliably reactive positively to in-person outreach from hospital leaders, meaning that executive ownership is critical as organizations work to build a sustainable, collaborative physician environment. This requires executives to fundamentally change the way they interact with the medical staff and resist the temptation to delegate that task.
The partnership includes guidance and processes for helping the entire C-suite reach out to the medical staff.
Develop a collaborative culture
We have seen that a collaborative culture between administration and the medical staff is what drives performance improvement over the long haul. Cultivating that collaboration requires continual executive involvement, a conducive infrastructure, and strong physician relationships.
Shifting culture takes time. The best response is to begin sooner; sitting still brings certain failure.
Bring order to chaos
Our research has shown that 100% of hospital administrative teams accept the importance of engaging physicians. The proportion that have an actual plan for it is far lower.
Rather than deploying a series of disconnected practices, we help executives establish a comprehensive vision for physician collaboration in order to transform the medical staff into a highly responsive, highly engaged asset. The blueprint from our Physicians at the Helm conference helps organize these efforts for real outcomes.
