American Healthcare Leader的动态

In this article by Len Strazewski, contributing news writer for the American Medical Association (AMA), the transformation of physician private practices toward value-based care is highlighted. Unlike the portrayal of the traditional solo country doctor seen in old movies, today's healthcare landscape has shifted significantly. Even practices deeply rooted in fee-for-service models are adapting to embrace value-based care, which offers new opportunities. One such example is Mississippi’s Hattiesburg Clinic, PA, which originated in 1963 and has since grown to become the state’s largest privately owned multispecialty clinic. Under the leadership of CEO Bryan N. Batson, MD, the clinic embarked on a journey toward value-based care in 2007. By prioritizing independence and aligning with the AMA Health System Program, they've steadily enhanced patient experiences, reduced costs, improved population health, and fostered a better work life for healthcare professionals. Through participation in Medicare Advantage programs, quality reporting systems, and forging partnerships, Hattiesburg Clinic has not only weathered the transition but also reported significant savings to Medicare, demonstrating the efficacy of their approach. #ValueBasedCare #PrivatePractice #HealthcareEvolution

Grateful to Becker's Healthcare for the opportunity to share some perspective and insight on the relationship between trust and political challenges in the healthcare provider realm. Here's a snippet and the full article is linked if you've had your fill of post-presidential debate "hot-takes"... Hospitals and health system are experiencing a sea change in public trust. It was no surprise when JAMA recently published research that found "trust in physicians and hospitals [had] decreased substantially…from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024.” The findings echo similar studies with similar results. Left unaddressed, this erosion leaves provider organizations vulnerable to misinformation, disinformation, and political agendas that do not serve its interests or those of the patients it cares for. But there is reason for hope — and action for leaders to take. Despite all, America’s hospitals can still build and wield significant political power...if they commit to the dedicated work required to use it effectively. If all politics is local, hospitals and health systems have a unique advantage. If they choose. https://lnkd.in/eeUmr7wZ
