Service Lines Strategies Workshop: Cardiovascular Physician Alignment
Product Description:
Boost your bottom line, drive quality improvement, and improve patient throughput with the employed physician model for your cardiovascular service line.
Listen to HealthLeaders Media for this solution-focused 90-minute webcast of this proven physician alignment model in the cardiovascular service line. Our speakers developed and founded Allina's Minneapolis Heart Institute, which involved the creation of a hospital-within-a-hospital, managed equally between hospital senior leaders and the physicians who are employed there.
Our expert speakers explore the operational requirements and secrets of success with a real-world example that hospitals of all sizes can replicate, including ways to:
- Structure a service line that partners with employed physicians, rather than directs them.
- Develop a shared system of responsibilities between physicians and administrators.
- Build a board that effectively represents the shared interests of both physicians and management and discover how to build a hospital-within-a-hospital or, for smaller hospitals, a self-governing and policing structure that complements the strategic goals of the organization, including bottom-line results.
