Through this toolkit, we want to provide specific actions and tools that leaders and other health care professionals can use to collaborate with physicians in achieving outcomes that benefit both the physicians and the organization.

One of the most promising shifts we've seen over the last few years is active physician leadership in service and operational excellence. We find that when physicians see real evidence of change at the organizations where they practice, they lead the way. In other words, they seek evidence-based leadership.

Organizations that want to increase physician engagement need to understand and respond to their four key drivers:

  • Quality
  • Efficiency
  • Input
  • Appreciation

In this toolkit, you will find a number of specific tools your organization can begin using right now to respond to these drivers, reduce leadership variance, and provide evidence of your commitment to physician satisfiers, quality patient care, increased access, and strong financials.

This toolkit will teach you how to:

  • Understand and respond to physician drivers
  • Create the structure for change
  • Create the shared agenda
  • Start a physician satisfaction team
  • Survey physicians for higher satisfaction
  • Identify and train physician leaders
  • Help physicians provide their patients with quality care and excellent service
  • Create a better place to practice medicine
  • Create and use physician preference cards
  • Implement critical communication strategies for physicians
  • Give physicians real-time feedback
  • Round on physicians
