DEVELOPING PHYSICIAN STRATEGY

ECG Management Consultants, April 18, 2005

Performance-driven leadership teams understand that effective hospital strategies are driven by a focused physician strategy. This means that your strategy needs to address how you will align with physicians. For instance, if your growth plans hinge on the development of specific programs, what must you do with physicians to ensure success? Create new physician leadership roles? Employ them? Start a joint venture? And what are the implications on other programs, and on your medical staff as a whole? A physician focused planning effort will drive successful execution of your strategic plan and enhance your ability to work cooperatively with physicians. This white paper describes the elements of an effective physician strategy and how to synchonize a hospital's strategic plan with its physician initiatives for better plan execution.
