Physician
Strategy College
Building Financially Sound Practices
The
exclusive
"Physician Practice Success System"
was designed to establish sound management systems for physician
practices. The International Council for Quality Care, Inc. will
present a senior leadership briefing on what’s working and
what’s not in the management of physician practices. Based
on Greg Korneluk's hands-on work in leading healthcare organizations,
the 1-day event has been designed for a select group of senior
healthcare executives and physicians who:
- have
attended workshops and conferences on physician/hospital integration
strategies, benchmarking, strategic total quality management,
managed care, practice acquisitions and management, or physician
relations, and are looking for a proven system for physician-led
integration based on financially sound principles.
- need
to understand the practical implications of benchmarking and
managing physician practices in managed care, as well as the
critical impact the organizational strategy will have on the
physicians with whom they work.
The
Physician Strategy College is designed to:
- discuss
what’s working in "financially sound physician practices"
on a practical level.
- demonstrate
the practical ways physicians are making the successful transition
to financial responsibility in their practices using benchmarking.
- address
the changing healthcare marketplace, along with physician challenges
within a strategic management framework.
- demonstrate
the concepts and techniques of facilitating physician-led organizational
change to assist in the transition to managed care.
- lay out
a strategic process to implement a physician benchmarking recruiting,
and practice acquisition/affiliation initiative.
- show
how to engage physicians in a constructive change process that
addresses the impact of managed care on their practices.
- solidify
a managed care transition plan for the healthcare organization,
in concert with physicians.
- help
build your physicians’ volume through proven practice success
systems.
- identify
the best methods to encourage physicians to participate in a
collaborative, structured change process.
- demonstrate
a simple, powerful model based on quality improvement that achieves
success with physicians while strongly linking them with the
healthcare organization.
- present
benchmarking case studies with demonstrated track records that
show how to put the model into action.
