The changes coming from health reform legislation, cost reduction, work
redesign, growth in physician employment, greater consumer involvement,
the introduction of ACOs, and the emphasis on value-based purchasing are
having a profound and long-term impact on healthcare. Clinical
integration is a must, and inclusion of physician leaders is essential
for successful clinical integration. For healthcare organizations to
maximize their potential during this transition, effective physician
leadership is needed more than ever.
Unlike other physician leadership books, this is an intensified
examination of the development of clinically integrated organizations
and the significantly expanded physician leadership role within them.
Together Dye and Sokolov evaluate multiple clinically integrated
organizations, clinical models, business models, and techniques to
involve physicians to a greater degree. They also offer insights and
suggestions on the cutting-edge topic of clinical integration and
explore in detail the role physician leadership will play in the future.
Themes include:
Making physicians key stakeholders in the clinical transformation,
business modeling, and strategy development Identifying physicians who
have a propensity for leadership Understanding the difference between
management and leadership Addressing issues physicians face as they make
the transition from clinical roles to leadership positions Embracing
clinical integration--why this new entity calls for greater physician
leadership and how to build a successful clinically integrated
organization Learning from case studies and practical approaches
Creating leadership development programs with an emphasis on the
experiential side of leader development Examining on the significant
impact of physician leadership derailment as compared with other leaders
