More on Inter and Intra Healthcare Stakeholder Relationships

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.
