Definition
✚ “A process of social influence in which one person can
enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment
of a common task.” Martin M. Chambers, An Integrative Theory of
Leadership
✚ Alan Keith of Genentech…
✚ “Leadership is ultimately about creating a wall for people to contribute to
making something extraordinary happen.”
✚ Transformational Leadership
✚ Physician leaders arguably fit best in the realm of transformational type
✚ Creating change in the followers (the hospitalist or ER team) with the end
goal of changing followers into leaders
4
KeystoneHealthcare.com
L – Lead by Example
✚ Great physician leaders MUST be the shining example of
“what is possible.”
Leadership
Communication
& Relationship
Management
Professionalism
Business Skill &
Knowledge
Knowledge of
Healthcare
Environment
5
KeystoneHealthcare.com
E – Enthusiastic
✚ When a physician leader is enthusiastic about the work… it
no longer feels like “work”
✚ The duty is transformed into a mission
✚ Enthusiasm is absolutely infectious!
6
KeystoneHealthcare.com
✚ Clinical leaders MUST be accountable:
✚ Not only to the physicians being supervised, BUT…
✚ To ALL stakeholders
 Patients
 Nursing staff
 Administrative leadership
 The Board of Directors
 The community at large
✚ Accountability cannot be held with contempt, but with pride
✚ MUST embrace performance metrics
✚ Examine the details carefully and constantly seek ways to improve the
group performance
A – Accountability
7
KeystoneHealthcare.com
✚ Medical record documentation = absolute imperative in the practice of
medicine today!
✚ “If it isn't documented, it hasn’t been done”
✚ Proper documentation is needed for:
✚ Efficient communication with colleagues
✚ Communication with insurers and payers of health services
✚ Support medical necessity, accurate coding, compliance with billing requirements and
impact revenue
✚ Protects legal interest of patients, providers and healthcare facility
✚ Documentation also involves steadfast recording of all provider related
encounters
✚ Monthly meetings
✚ Individual provider meetings
✚ Administrative meetings
✚ *This will be the narrative of tomorrow. An accurate and objective picture is therefore
important
D – Documentation
8
KeystoneHealthcare.com
✚ Physician leaders must be extremely efficient: dividing time
between administrative and clinical duties
✚ ALL physician leaders should try to maintain some clinical exposure to
remain relevant
✚ Must recognize when “enough is enough”
✚ Physician leaders must know the boundaries and try to leave work at work
✚ Work-life balance is the key to sustainability
✚ Maintaining a healthy division between the various
commitments will better position physician leaders for
success in all facets
✚ Efficiency also includes delegating responsibility and not
trying to do it all by yourself
E – Efficient
9
KeystoneHealthcare.com
✚ Physician leaders MUST be respectful to ALL stakeholders
at ALL times
✚ People recall the bad interactions more vividly than they do the good ones
✚ Respect also means being attentive when spoken to; in spite of
distractions
✚ Avoiding insults or even entertaining insults directed at others
✚ Bottom line – Treating others as they ought to be treated
the first time
✚ Treating ALL patients, loved ones and colleagues the same regardless of
race, gender, religion, age, size, country of origin or stature in the
community
R - Respect
10
KeystoneHealthcare.com
✚ All physician (and APP) leaders must tap into the valued
resources available to them to stay current with the
trajectory of the respective specialty
✚ American College of Emergency Physicians
✚ Society of Hospital Medicine
✚ American Academy of Physician Assistants
✚ American Academy of Nurse Practitioners
✚ These organizations are primary sources of innovation,
research and direction
S – Society / Organization
11
KeystoneHealthcare.com
H – Handoffs
✚ Leaders must insist on effective
handoffs between shifts/providers
✚ Both EM and HM have a
significant number of handoffs
✚ Handoffs have been called the
“Achilles heel” in HM
✚ Leaders must maintain structured
procedure at each shift change
that is inclusive of all the requisite
patient and service details
✚ Verbal (by phone or in-person) is
the preferred method,
accompanied by written updates
as needed
12
KeystoneHealthcare.com
I - Innovation
✚ Physician leaders must
first understand that
status quo is
unacceptable
✚ Must encourage
performance and quality
improvement…
constantly
✚ Leaders should always
seek new ways to
improve the delivery of
patient care
13
KeystoneHealthcare.com
P – Patients First
✚ Physician leaders have a considerable number of
decisions to make each day….
✚ First and most important question that should be
asked…
✚ “What's best for the patient?”
✚ At all times, we must remain steadfast in our duty as
patient advocates, first
