Optimizing Performance in an Irrational Market (59X)

The measure of your organizational intelligence is not the ability to acquire knowledge but how you handle uncertainty and navigate through it. In these uncertain times, it is essential to recognize that the significant disruptors in the healthcare industry include underfunded government and commercial reimbursements, the migration of inpatient procedures to the outpatient setting, shortages/hyperinflation in critical clinical personnel and supplies, and the repercussions from the failed migration from volume to value. Health systems must differentiate between valid results-oriented strategies that improve quality, access and financial performance and the latest fad. Just because something sounds innovative does not mean it will not be an economic disaster or disenfranchise your clinical workforce. This presentation will use data to paint realistic scenarios for the future (which sometimes are contrary to conventional wisdom and profile the irrational economic incentives present in the healthcare market) and then provide real-life, practical, proven strategies for success.
