Physician Engagement

Strong relationships between hospitals and physicians are essential to meeting the demands that organizations face. However, leading physicians is a complex challenge, and overcoming the natural barriers to effective hospital-physician collaboration is a daunting task. While every medical staff is unique, experience contributes to identifying effective strategies to bring people together in a constructive way.

Hospitals face several sets of issues involving physicians, ranging from contracting for services (such as hospitalists and Emergency Care physicians), employing physicians in medical groups (primary care, specialists, and multi-specialty), physician leadership development, and clinical process change.
