When launching cost-saving or quality improvement efforts,
healthcare payors and providers often fail to consider one major factor:
the resistance they are almost certain to encounter from their medical
staffs. Intent upon patient responsibilities, many physicians are neither
cost-focused nor open to administrative changes.
In this special report, "Bringing Doctors On Board: Cultivating Physician Leaders and Reducing Pushback," a panel of experts describes a variety of tools including skills assessment, communications, incentives
and marketing that can turn physician "push-back" into support,
ensuring the success of new programs while developing physician
leadership at their organizations.
You'll hear from Mary Anne Graf, Vice President, Women's & Children's Services, Bon
Secours Health System; Dr. Manuel Lowenhaupt, National Practice Leader, CapGemini; and
Dr. Mark Wenneker, Consulting Manager, The Bard Group on theories, application and results of physician engagement programs.
This 36-page report is based on the January 26, 2005 audio conference "Physician Engagement: Tools and Strategies to Get Reluctant Physicians on Board" during which Graf, Lowenhaupt and Wenneker described how to engage physicians, including strategies and case studies.
You'll get details on:
- Tools and strategies to motivate physicians;
- Keys to physician engagement; and
- Creating physician alignment through marketing.
