Building Healthcare Collaboration

Dr. Cohn works with hospital leaders and physicians who want to work more interdependently to increase revenues, cut expenses and improve clinical outcomes.

Collaboration builds a culture that transforms performance and empowers outstanding clinical and financial outcomes. Healthcare collaboration helps dedicated professionals develop a shared vision and reconnect with the values that attracted them to healthcare in the first place.

Do you want:

• To have a clearer sense of how to move forward with your medical staff in the face of healthcare reform uncertainty?
• Increased revenues from decreased patient out-migration?
• Lower expenses from improved efficiency and effectiveness?
• A better practice environment that results in improved recruiting and retention?
• Enhanced teamwork and a virtuous cycle of improved clinical and financial outcomes?

Collaboration is healthcare’s low-hanging fruit. Harvest it today.

Problems Dr. Cohn can help you solve:

• Are suboptimal physician-hospital relations hurting your bottom line and affecting your clinical outcomes?
• Are you frustrated that tools and techniques that once worked for you in the past no longer achieve their desired objectives?
• Are physicians and administrators at your institution talking at each other rather than communicating with one another?
• Is it getting harder to entice the right people to show up at and participate in your meetings?

How Dr. Cohn works:

• Helps hospital leaders frame the problems that they face and the outcomes that they seek
• Performs an in-person assessment of physician leaders, asking probing questions, such as:
  • How likely are you to encourage patients, family, and colleagues to receive care at your hospital
  • What are the reasons for your evaluation
  • What are your top three recommendations to improve the practice environment here
• Presents findings at a multidisciplinary gathering of participating physicians, hospital leaders, and board members and works with them to develop a focused action plan for more interdependent care in which physicians share ownership
• Empowers an interdisciplinary team of physicians, hospital leaders, and allied healthcare professionals to implement the action plan in a focused, timely fashion that builds transparency and trust and improves communication and collaboration with all parties

Recommendations generally include performance improvements rather than a list of capital-intensive budget items.  In return for giving practicing physicians a say in clinical priority setting, hospital executives are able to enlist physicians to attend meetings and come to consensus on priorities.

Guarantee: If Dr. Cohn, a practicing physician, cannot engage your practicing physicians to improve your clinical and financial outcomes, his time is free!

When you work with Dr. Cohn, you get results!
