To truly transform the delivery of healthcare, the alignment and integration of executive and physician goals should be developed to create economic incentives to achieve clinical care transformations, which require behavioral and cultural changes in the delivery systems. Future success for health systems will likely depend on physicians not only successfully adapting to evolving healthcare regulatory and practice requirements, but also learning how to succeed in a world of new reimbursement models. To address these changes, physician alignment has become a common term used by healthcare leaders to describe the activities used to motivate behavior change. Developing a case for change that articulates why transformation must occur to achieve desired clinical and business outcomes and associated implementation plans may seem easy to tackle in theory. However, anyone who has ever tried to change a habit— whether on an individual or team/organizational level—knows that there is nothing easy about changing the way in which people behave and operate. This session will provide strategies and tactics on how to create meaningful physician and healthcare organizational goals, increase return on investment, and improve quality and efficiencies in the organization.
