Enhanced Physician Engagement, Volume 1: What Is It, Why You Need It, and Where to Begin looks at physician engagement as a strategic and tactical priority. --

Many healthcare leaders recognize that in an ever-evolving landscape, physician engagement is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Highly engaged physicians help their organizations navigate changing delivery and payment models, improve clinical outcomes, and meet patient demands for better access to safe, quality care. Yet, understanding what physician engagement truly is--and how you can successfully implement it--can be confounding. Enhanced Physician Engagement, Volume 1: What Is It, Why You Need It, and Where to Begin looks at physician engagement as a strategic and tactical priority. Drawing on more than 40 years of healthcare leadership and management experience, editor Carson F. Dye starts by offering a focused definition of engagement and explaining why physicians should play an active role in governance, leadership, and management. He shares two models to help you understand the book's foundational concepts and visualize what physician engagement can look like in your own organization.

Imagine a world of healthcare where physicians are engaged and contributing at their full intellectual capacity. A world where physicians and their teams are happier because they feel heard - a world where physicians are active partners and collaborative leaders. As CEO of CTI's Physician Leadership Institute, I've seen the power of strong physician engagement firsthand. I have also witnessed the problems that occur when physicians are not engaged, and it isn't pretty. It is a safety threat. Engagement is critical in today's ever-changing healthcare system. It can improve clinical outcomes, boost patient experience and safety scores, and promote a positive culture throughout the organization. A health system could improve its bottom line by nearly half a million dollars a year each time it successfully engages one of its less engaged physicians. Yet active engagement metrics among physicians are at a mere 10 percent. I believe we have been approaching engagement in healthcare all wrong. We've made it a metric and held our managers accountable over our physicians. But physicians are professionals and don't need parents; they need partners. The book reveals real-life examples of leaders who have been successful at engaging their physicians by acting as partners: co-leading, co-creating, and working together to establish trust. It provides readers with a progressive roadmap that blends the art of leadership, neuroscience, language, and conversation. It is time to go beyond engagement.

The goal of our Physician Engagement Guide resource is to equip your improvement efforts and create lasting results.We must think to ourselves, are we being intentional about the physician experience we are creating? More so than ever before, we are encountering daily challenges at an unmatched and accelerating pace. We want to create an environment for our physicians and APP's to practice that is by design-not by default. As trusted caregivers for our patients during their most vulnerable times, we have an opportunity to evolve the experience so that every person can receive the best possible care, starting with the engagement of our physicians.Physician engagement is one of the most frequently cited challenges across healthcare organizations, and we know that burnout, moral injury and compassion fatigue are at an uncomfortably high level. So, where do we start?We believe that by supporting an excellent place to practice, encouraging physicians and APP's, and removing barriers, we can foster and restore purpose and joy in the practice of medicine. We created the Physician Engagement Guide to provide an action-oriented resource for senior leaders, department managers, medical staff, and executive leaders to help them retain and engage the best physicians, providers, and team members. The material presented in this guide is based on our work with over 600 organizations and thousands of physicians, helping them measure and improve physician engagement.Now more than ever before, you are working to do more with less and to take engagement to the next level. Our hope is that this book will provide you with the inspiration, strategies and tactics you need for success.

Named one of the best strategy books of 2021 by strategy+business Get to better, more effective strategy. In nearly every business segment and corner of the world economy, the most successful companies dramatically outperform their rivals. What is their secret? In Better, Simpler Strategy, Harvard Business School professor Felix Oberholzer-Gee shows how these companies achieve more by doing less. At a time when rapid technological change and global competition conspire to upend traditional ways of doing business, these companies pursue radically simplified strategies. At a time when many managers struggle not to drown in vast seas of projects and initiatives, these businesses follow simple rules that help them select the few ideas that truly make a difference. Better, Simpler Strategy provides readers with a simple tool, the value stick, which every organization can use to make its strategy more effective and easier to execute. Based on proven financial mechanics, the value stick helps executives decide where to focus their attention and how to deepen the competitive advantage of their business. How does the value stick work? It provides a way of measuring the two fundamental forces that lead to value creation and increased financial success—the customer's willingness-to-pay and the employee's willingness-to-sell their services to the business. Companies that win, Oberholzer-Gee shows, create value for customers by raising their willingness-to-pay, and they provide value for talent by lowering their willingness-to-sell. The approach, proven in practice, is entirely data driven and uniquely suited to be cascaded throughout the organization. With many useful visuals and examples across industries and geographies, Better, Simpler Strategy explains how these two key measures enable firms to gauge and improve their strategies and operations. Based on the author's sought-after strategy course, this book is your must-have guide for making better strategic decisions.
