Writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know and could be.” Leaders can help others achieve great things and manage through change. Change management has never been easy, but today’s challenges in healthcare seem tougher.
Over the past year, the LeaderDialogue team has discussed this with leaders across the healthcare spectrum during our podcasts and events. Some leaders are helping people re-energize as their engagement teams hit the wall. Others have been working to rebuild patient trust and loyalty to come back to their facilities while preparing their organizations to meet a new level of customer service and demand. Still others are innovating. They are the pioneers. They are venturing into unexplored territory in order to move their organizations forward and cast a new vision as to what healthcare can be and should become.
According to an Oct. 25 report from Health Affairs, “healthcare systems are on track for their worst financial year in decades.” Margins have plummeted, labor expenses continue to climb, outpatient activity has dropped, and inpatient capacity and throughput has become even more challenging to manage, due in part to higher levels of patient acuity and post-acute placement delays. Now more than ever, healthcare organizations require accurate and real-time performance information, and a technology platform that effectively supports efficient workflow processes and handoffs.
The Baldrige Foundation Leader Dialogue Co-hosts and their strategic partners from ABOUT Healthcare will be tackling these challenges head-on, discussing what health system’s leaders can and should expect from their technology solutions, in order to maximize system performance and accomplish essential goals.
Our next Leader Dialogue webinar will discuss the changing healthcare landscape, how to achieve friction-free access, and how to overcome the related capacity and throughput constraints. Practical considerations and suggestions will be provided from which all healthcare leaders can benefit.
Angie Franks, CEO of ABOUT Healthcare, will be joining the Leader Dialogue program co-hosts to discuss this important topic. Before joining ABOUT, Angie spent 30 years in the healthcare technology space, holding leadership positions with a number of prominent healthcare firms, including The Advisory Board Company, Lawson Software, Healthland, and GeoAccess.
Executive, “Very few companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do. By WHY I mean your purpose, cause, or belief – WHY does your company exist? People don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it.” – Simon Sinek.
This quote introduces the topic of the next Leader Dialogue virtual executive roundtable on Systemness: Moving from Disruption and Change to Optimal Performance.
The battering of the healthcare system by the COVID pandemic has caused some healthcare leaders to return to the fundamental question of: “Why do we exist?
HOW should health systems respond? If consumer expectations are changing, and new innovative approaches are required – what is the right strategy and what is the time window in which those strategies should be executed?
Participants in the most recent Baldrige Foundation CEO Innovation Council took this question on and will provide keen insights and recommendations worth considering.
