Too often it seems that physicians and health system managers are locked in a lose-lose battle with no apparent way out. Traditional approaches for making them feel like “we’re all in this together” (e.g., common ownership structures, visioning retreats) have often not succeeded in the long run.

This course will develop a new and non-intuitive approach for managing the often broken relationships between health system managers and physicians.

Review why traditional approaches for integrating hospitals and physicians frequently don’t work.
Examine specific strategies for developing connections among often disparate and fragmented individuals.
Apply tools for managing the relationships between critically needed, highly diverse healthcare perspectives.
