Physician Leadership in a Changing Healthcare Environment

摘要

The two organizations highlighted in this issue's feature articles are engaged in a journey that many hospitals, health systems, and physician organizations are recognizing is key to the task of transforming the US health system. Palomar Health and ProMedica are developing and deploying physician and other clinical leaders in governance, design, operations, and outcomes. Although each feature article describes a different approach, scope, and scale, the organizations are making good investments that will yield positive results. Without engaged physicians leading healthcare redesign, we are doomed to fail. Organizations must build strong programs to engage and develop physician leaders to succeed in the challenging environment ahead. The question remaining for all of us is how to best accomplish this.
