Staffing continues to be the biggest challenge facing medical practices today, and the path to improving physician recruitment, retention, and engagement starts with strong administrator-physician relationships rooted in trust. In addition to staffing challenges, medical groups are also in search of operational and financial stability amid today’s complex and rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Many are opting for a dyad leadership model, as the administrator-physician duo can more effectively address challenges and achieve strategic alignment with their inherent complementary skills sets, perspectives, and experiences. In this session, we’ll lead a discussion about how administrators can best partner with chief medical officers and physician leaders to build a culture of open communication and trust, one where potential points of friction give way for organizational synergy. We’ll also share real-world examples of how medical groups can leverage dyad leadership relationships into the physician recruitment process from the first conversation through onboarding to improve long-term retention and alignment on critical success factors including quality, safety, patient satisfaction, and physician productivity.
Learning Objectives:
Build trust and diffuse friction with transparent communication channels that help administrators and physicians recognize and address the unintended challenges created by strategic decisions made in the c-suite
Explore the benefits of physician participation in all facets of decision-making, from patient care to strategic initiatives
Establish administration-physician alignment during the physician recruitment process through onboarding to improve retention, engagement, and operational effectiveness
