Health Industry Collaboration and e-Patients

More on Inter and Intra Healthcare Stakeholder Relationships 

Join Our Mailing List

According to Jennifer Tomasik MS [jtomasik@cfar.com], writing in the soon to be released ME-P textbook from iMBA Inc www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com: “Healthcare Organizations” [Management Strategies, Tools, Techniques and Case Studies], now in-process from (c) Productivity Press for 2012:

We are in a time of great change in healthcare. No one is certain how the future landscape will unfold, but it is clear that changes in regulation, reimbursement, technology, the economy, and science will significantly impact the work of those clinicians and administrators who dedicate their careers to improving patient care.

More Collaboration Needed

Experience has shown that better collaboration between patients and among the many different parts of the healthcare delivery system holds great potential to improve the quality of care and the relationships of those delivering it. It has also shown that the opportunities to improve collaboration are widespread.

Our focus, therefore, should be to introduce and share a selected set of tools that can be used to improve collaboration along several dimensions:

  • Clarifying roles and authority through decision charting,
  • Understanding the “give” and the “get” needed to establish effective alliances through the current state, and
  • Working jointly to establish and test a set of refined expectations through a physician-administrator compact.

Assessment

In the end, improved collaboration can help medical institutions with everything from inter professional productivity, to patient satisfaction to the most critical service of all: caring for patients and saving lives.

  1. “Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations” is a must-read for any physician and other health care provider to understand the multiple, and increasingly complex, interlocking components of the US Healthcare delivery system whether they are employed by a hospital system, or manage their own private practice.

    The operational principles, methods, and examples in this book provide a framework applicable on both the large organizational and smaller private practice levels and will result in better patient care.

    Physicians today know they need to better understand business principles and this book by Dr. David E. Marcinko and Professor Hope Rachel Hetico provides an excellent framework and foundation to learn important principles all doctors need to know.

  2. Improve patient satisfaction by improving cycle time

    Wait time is one of the most important drivers of patient dissatisfaction. So, be sure to track the time it takes to cycle a patient through your facility, from reception to discharge, with all variables included.

    This allows you take the appropriate action to improve flows and improve patient experience; regardless of venue.

  3. The disturbing reason why patients disappear

    Jennifer and Dr. Marcinko – Patient satisfaction is the cornerstone of any medical practice retention initiative.

    The trouble is, when patients leave a practice they say nothing at all … they simply don’t return. And, the financial loss is nothing to take lightly.

  4. Jennifer – Exit patients, enter healthcare consumers

    It’s inevitable, necessary even — with every era, someone or something new must lay claim to the universe, and if a recent Harris Poll has any credence in the matter, today’s world surely belongs to the “healthcare consumer” over all other prefects in contention.

    PhysBizTech enters the world of the “healthcare consumer.”
