The document discusses the need for physician leadership given changes brought by the Affordable Care Act. It argues that physician involvement is critical to successfully implementing programs like Value Based Purchasing and Accountable Care Organizations that encourage quality improvement and cost reduction. However, medical training focuses on clinical skills and does not prepare physicians for leadership roles requiring skills like collaboration and emotional intelligence. Developing physician leadership requires addressing this gap through training that emphasizes competencies like emotional intelligence shown to predict leadership success.
Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) is the ability of an individual to identify, control and manage emotions of oneself and others in order to maintain healthy relationships. Emotional intelligence in healthcare professionals helps in enhancing patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes

Quality Improvement In Healthcare: Where Is The Best Place To Start?Health Catalyst
Â
One of the biggest challenges providers face in their quality improvement efforts is knowing where to get started. In my experience, one of the best ways to overcome that âwhere do we begin?â factor is by using data from an enterprise data warehouse to look for high-cost areas where there are large variations in how health care is delivered. Variation found through the KPA is an indicator of opportunity. The more avoidable variation that is reflected in a particular care process, the more opportunity there is to reduce that variation and standardize the process. Suppose after performing a KPA you discover three areas of opportunity. How do you determine which one to pursue, especially if itâs your first journey into process improvement? The most obvious answer would seem to be the one with the largest potential ROI. That may not always be the best course to pursue, however. You will also want to take into consideration the readiness/openness to change in each of those areas.

Quality improvement in healthcare is not just achievable, itâs an absolute necessity given the amount of wasteful spending in the U.S. on healthcare. Organizations can reduce this wasteful spending while improving their processes by applying these five guiding principles:
Facilitate adoption through hands-on improvement projects.
Define quality and get agreement.
Measure for improvement, not accountability.
Use a quality improvement framework and PDSA cycles.

Introduction
Healthcare forms a very important part of our lives: health, happiness, wealth and progress in life are all linked to a sound and working healthcare sector. Delivery of healthcare services is, therefore, an important part of our everyday lives. While healthcare is a very wide subject, its breakdown into subsectors that facilitate service delivery and management is equally important. Thumbs Healthcare Limited (as known as THL) is one of the many organizations that specializes in delivering different types of healthcare provided services, to masses focusing on holistic service delivery. While management of the services is an important part of the healthcare industry, leadership and ethical challenges occur daily making the management of such organizations very challenging.
Discussion
Market segmentation and related issues
Considering such undebatable facts, THL is committed to delivering healthcare services to a large market considering three levels of service within this market. The primary care service level which deals with illnesses and injuries of routine nature. The medical practitioners in this fields have general knowledge based on hands-on experience within relatable academic background. The secondary level which indulges in general and some specific areas of surgery like rheumatology which require just more than broad experience. The tertiary service level which demands immense specialty and errorless prowess due to the nature of sensitivity that the medical practitioners in this level deal with. THL depends on seasoned consultants who deliver services on call. The consultants conduct activities like, heart ,neurosurgery and are majorly sourced from several hospitals including the University of Chicago Medical Centre.
The population health approach is best defined to improve the health status of a population and or a subpopulation not necessarily individuals as would be the case with the curative health approach. There are several significant implications of this approach for both management and service delivery. According to a survey conducted in Canada, the population health approach may need to elucidate on the meaning of the term âitselfâ in order to inform crystal clear expectations around the issues of liability, ownership, roles as well as responsibilities so that also incentive structures can be aligned appropriately. As such, the management at THL has been facing the same challenge leading to a âbest judgmentâ approach whereby medical practitioners are advised to utilize judgment to distinguish treatment approaches for which they will be held culpable for (Greenwald, 2010 ...

Case Study 1: Are Our Customer Liaisons Helping or Hurting?
Introduction
In any hospital setting, Patient Care Executives usually are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that patients receive high-quality healthcare. At Holy Cross hospital, this position is created to give the executives an opportunity of managing the patients and allow doctors to focus on treating the patients. This is intended to make the functions of the facility much smoother. Initially, a lot of work was being put on the physicians, leaving them with too little time to attend to the patients and offer the quality of care that is required.
Recently, however, physicians have been complaining that the Patient Care Executives do not perform their duties as expected. As earlier mentioned, the position was created in this facility to ensure that patients are well-taken care of and other management functions are also handled effectively. Generally, it was meant to ensure smooth management of the healthcare organization and provide a smooth system and relationship between the PCEs and the healthcare providers. As an administrator, it is essential to work closely with HR to ensure that qualified and competent candidates are hired in this position to avoid future concerns from the physicians. As a result, a regular evaluation is required to identify the factors that affect the functioning of Holy Cross Medical Center.
External Environmental Forces
Various external factors affect the operation of Holy Cross Medical Center. Some of the major external forces include competition and patient outcomes. It is important to note that like any hospital, the patient outcome reflects the image of the organization to the public and clients typically. It is an advantage that in recent years, patient satisfaction has improved. This must be maintained or even further enhanced. Patient outcome is one of the factors that affect the organization because it plays a crucial role in determining patient retention and can improve the image of Holy Cross in public, consequently affecting its competitive advantage in the healthcare market. This means that if the PCEs and the healthcare providers are capable of working closely and collaboratively, they can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction within Holy Cross and bring success to the organization (Ginter, Duncan & Swayne, 2013).
Another external factor affecting the operations of the Holy Cross is competition. It is noted that the organization is surrounded by various healthcare organizations, both public and private, with relatively better facilities. Holy Cross is expected to compete with such organizations by offering better quality care. Competition, in this ca ...

Title: Organizational Structure and Functions
Organizational structure for GAH in Mission Viejo
What essential services or functions they can share?
Blood banks; they can use the same blood banks in GAH, and in the Community Clinic instead of setting up others in the Community Clinic Standards for Blood (Banks and Transfusion Services, 2011). Operating rooms can also be shared between both sectors, and these will save money that would have been used in the construction of new operating rooms. The pharmacy can also be one area that will be shared because they will need to bring the medicines that will be required to cure the illnesses that affect the seniors. The overall person-in-charge of Golden Age Hospital can also be in charge of the Community Clinic. Organizational relationships between the structure blocks includes; Vertical linkages; these linkages tie subordinates and supervisors together. It depicts a responsibility line where the supervisor to the subordinates delegates authority. The supervisor is in charge of evaluating the performance of the employees, overseeing the activities, and providing guidance towards any improvement necessary. Horizontal linkages; in these linkages, every person in the organization has an equal relationship. They are most needed when there is a need for coordination that is close in all the organization segments. Through this, all organization's aspects are appropriately represented.
How (if appropriate) will you integrate the services of physicians whose specialty is in geriatric treatment within the GAH /CC?
Geriatrics is a specialty that has its focus on older adults' health care. Its main aim is the promotion of health through the prevention and treatment of disabilities and diseases in seniors. There is no specific age for a patient to be under the care of a geriatric physician. What determines is the availability of the specialist and the individual needs. These physicians will of great help in the Golden Age Hospital and Community Clinic sector (Havert, 2019). This is the area where most seniors will be going for check-ups and treatment services.
The first thing will be published on the hospital website about the vacancy of geriatrics. The second thing will be researching the best geriatrics in California. After they have applied for the posts, call them for an interview and chose among the interviewees the best geriatrics who will offer services in Golden Age Hospital and Community Clinic department (Malone, Capezuti & Palmer, 2015).

Introduction
This paper aims to discuss a problem in the healthcare system and the possible solutions to solve the problem. Critical healthcare problems impact healthcare facilities in the United States, which stimulates procedures to please the contending necessity to provide reasonable standard care and nursing staff who offers the services. This paper aims to define the strategies and policies to discourse the contending necessity of providing safe and standard care to the sick and the needs of the workers who provide the services. The paper also outlines an issue in healthcare and any influence factors within the healthcare system.
Problem Identification
The healthcare institutions' major goal is to provide the target populations with standard, actual, and better patient care possible, but the healthcare providers scarcity impacts this aim's accomplishment. The rise of nursesâ scarcity influences medical care delivery to the sick and healthcare organizations' financial growth. Varying nurse-to-patient percentage compromises the provision of superior care, which impacts patientsâ safety and outcomes.
Background
The nursing scarcity began in 1998 and not only continues but is to become worse. The root of the current shortage is three-fold; an inadequate supply of nurses, an elderly population, and an elderly employee. The baby boomers are going to their golden years. Between 2010 and 2030, one in every five individuals will be a pensioner. The internal sources of nursing scarcities comprise; increased obligation for unlicensed employees, long working periods, and remuneration problems.
Problem Analysis
The current research reveals that nursing shortage can be the contributing aspect that forces the medical providers to be allocated a large number of patients to a medical provider. The contending necessity of the medical care personnel is the main issue affecting the nursing shortage, which requires a practice set by the healthcare administrations while bearing in mind the inadequate resources to gratify the necessity (FriganoviÄ et al., 2019). Thus, there is a prerequisite for establishing a strategy that stabilizes medical care money-generating needs and the workforce's contending situations. Patients might benefit from the more outstanding care the nurses provide by achieving a balance of the necessities.
DMEP is a strategy that necessitates all medical care employees to report all errors planned at fostering comprehensive ethical procedures by having Medicare employees responsible for their operations for decreasing or eliminating clinical mistakes. Nursesâ shortage influences the effectiveness of DMEP because when the work of the nurse increases due to staff shortage, the risk of health blunders becomes inevitable, which often goes unreported.

LEADERSHIP IN HEALTHCARE RESEARCH PAPER
Name

Abstract
The role of leadership is vital to the growth and success of health care institutions. This research paper examines the meaning of leadership as it pertains the health care sector and the leadership practices employed in the same perspective. Provision of high-quality services is an increasing concern in hospitals and other health care facilities across the globe. The standards of the services are defined and influenced by some factors, leadership being one of them. This paper is meant to establish the strong connection between the leadership of a health care organization and how this impacts the kind of service the facility offers its customers. In line with this, the leadership theories that are employed are discussed to create better comprehension of the leadership in practice. The content and findings of the research would be beneficial to health care leaders, aspiring leaders and the medical professionals and analysts at large.
Thesis: The leadership of a health care organization largely determines the quality of services offered essentially based on the leadership style used and the ability to effectively execute duty and solve arising challenges.
Background Information
Studies across small scale, medium and large scale organizations in different sectors reveal that leadership is a vital element of an organization. Health care institutions are not exceptions of this discovery. The role of effective leadership in contemporary healthcare has tragically evolved and transformed so as to suit the changing needs of the society. The functions of leadership within a health care organization range from planning for the facility activities, management of staff and their practices, ensuring adherence to ethical behavior and above all setting an exemplary model for the subordinates.
In the light of these functions, the leaders of health care organizations are faced with challenges that in many cases hinder delivery of high-quality services. The question of ethics is the mother of them all. Secondly, there is the incorporation of technological developments in health care which may be a challenge to many (Mowbray, 2001). Among other problems as well, the complexity of diseases in this century demand intense research and investment that the hospital management has to keep up with. The ability of a health care facilityâs management to handle these challenges and to execute their sole duties simultaneously determines the quality of service that the facility offers.
Leadership Theories
The place of leadership theories employed cannot be overlooked. The most common and broadly used approach is transformational leadership. This form of leadership is defined by a strong connection between the leader and his subjects. The two parties work in collaboration to identify the needs of the health care facilit ...
Leadership is defined as the process through which an individual attempts to intentionally influence another individual or a group to accomplish goal . Building and sustaining oral health services that reveal the aspirations of the communities they provide has proved a most important confront all over the world. There is increasing demands on Dental professionals to identify and measure their individual impact on the outcome of patients as cost-cutting strategies have raised the thresholds for Dental hospitals to focus on patient satisfaction. This has increased the average acuity of Dental hospital patients, along with the increase in demand for Dentist leadership and patient outcomes. Dental Hospitals across the world have begun to see appropriate leadership of Dental professionals as an intervention for improving communication; collaboration skills to reduce Dental errors that direct to undesirable patient outcomes, hence Dental leaders are conscientious for creating a vision of where the Dental Hospital should go by implementing initiatives to achieve the vision of better patient outcomes. They create passion for goal accomplishment and converse employeesâ roles in contributing to the Dental Hospital strategy.
Leadership practices of Dentist can positively or negatively influence outcomes for patients. Understanding the factors that contribute to leadership is fundamental to outcomes for patients. Important domains of association between Dentist leadership and patient outcomes. These are Dentist-patient relationships, Dentist-colleague relationships, Dentist-community relationships, and Dentistsâ relationships to self. Relationship-centered oral health care recognizes the significance and exclusivity of each Dental staff relationship with every other, and considers these interaction to be central in sustaining high-quality care, a high-quality work environment, and better-quality organizational performance and improved patient outcomes.
Dentist leadership in the Genaral Dental practice setting is significant to ensure both best possible patient outcomes and consecutive generations of motivated and passionate Dental staff, but significant barriers to clinical leadership exist in Dental Hospital structures that preclude health care managers from clinical decision making and better patient outcomes.
Dental Hospitals and other healthcare organizations have flattened their structures with wide spans of control in an ongoing effort to reduce costs. When resources are limited, Dentist is required to share their attention across their patients, with their clinical decision to prioritize assessments and interventions. When understaffed units exist, Dentists are apparently required to reduce or skip over certain tasks, thereby rising the risk of harmful patient outcomes. The leadership relationship to patient outcomes in the work context has influence on Dentist behavior, which facilitates patient care and improved outcomes, hence strong re

Ryan,
Inadequate levels of nursing professionals were first discussed more than 80 years ago (Whelan, n.d.). Recently, scholars have opined many reasons for the shortage of nurses. Factors such as work stress, burnout, violence against healthcare professionals, a lack of qualified nursing instructors, and nurses unable to adapt to changing technology or clinical environments have been addressed (Haddad & Toney-Butler, 2019). As many nurses may attest, doing more with less can lead to mistakes and dissatisfaction with a nursing career. Ultimately, patient care suffers.
Organizations employ various tactics to help strengthen nurse retention. Halter et al. (2017) suggest strong nursing leadership and assigning preceptors to new nurses can help minimize nursing resignation rates. At the writerâs employment, hospital administrators use several ways to retain nurses. Each quarter, a nurse is recognized for outstanding achievement by receiving a certificate, gift card, and editorial mention on the hospitalâs intranet. Moreover, the hospital caters lunch for all employees, dayside and nighttime staff, twice a year for meeting quality targets. Also, the hospital uses various national celebration days such as ice cream, donuts, coffee, bagels, and candy to reward all employees. Creating a level of goodwill and institutional collaboration can help retain nurses and improve job satisfaction (Kurnat-Thoma et al., 2017).

ABSTRACT There is growing consensus that the health care workforce in
the United States needs to be reconfigured to meet the needs of a health
care system that is being rapidly and permanently redesigned.
Accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes, for
instance, will greatly alter the mix of caregivers needed and create new
roles for existing health care workers. The focus of health system
innovation, however, has largely been on reorganizing care delivery
processes, reengineering workflows, and adopting electronic technolo ...

Healthcare services are always going to be needed, and prices will get higher with time; in fact, "Reimbursement just keeps growing over time, say the critics. A Washington Post analysis of records for 5,700 procedures reportedly showed that work RVUs are seven times likelier to increase than to fall" (Baltic, 2013.) The question that is needed to be asked is: What actions can be implemented in order to change and improve the current healthcare problematic? Here are some of the factors that can influence it:
1) Geographic position: The better positioned and available the hospital is, the more consumers can access to health and promote business. There are some other interesting choices that places like Oregon has implemented to help Medicare rates and allow more patient to be seen in community hospitals, which is known as a new Accountable Care Collaborative program "allowing to connect healthcare providers as well as social services and community-based assistance" (Johnson, 2013.)
2) Physician Alignment: Great physicians increase the visit numbers due to high success rates, which contributes to more financial stability and solvency for the hospital.
3) Cost structure: "Hospitals with a high-cost structure either due to high debt, high employee costs or the inability to amortize costs over larger revenues are more susceptible to bankruptcy" (Becker & Dunn, 2010.)
4) Quality of services: low-quality care increase bad reputation, which means no clients for the hospital. High mortality or nosocomial infections equal to poor care as well.
What do you think? Is it necessary to invest more in healthcare workers to increase patient satisfaction? Will that helps the quality of care? What do you think will happen with your cost structure?
Thanks

When there is more of a demand for health care services, organizations can see that there is more of a need to be cost efficient because there needs to be a balance between the cost that is made when using resources and as well as providing health care to our patients. Instead of breaking even, organizations should consider making revenue so that they can offer adequate pay for staff, allow for departmental growth with expansions and update supplies and technology to be competitive among other hospitals in the area.

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. âPatient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safetyâ (AHRQ, 2012) are whatâs needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care canât be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (âPromise,â 2013).  There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (âCare,â 2014).Â
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit.  For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (âPromise,â 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patientâs medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

Comparable worth, which is also regarded as pay equality, is defined as a principle of receiving equal pay for equal value. There is a range of effective tactics that APNs can use to promote strategic positioning regarding their pay equality. In particular, they can measure their productivity with an account of the amount of the work done and clinical services provided under the available resources (Pickard, 2014). The other strategy refers to the avoidance of polarizing positions. Specifically, APNs should place a particular emphasis on the formation of those health delivery systems that are directly patient-oriented as well as the ones that are based on maintaining positive relationships. In other words, comparable worth should be a priority.
APNs should promote the comparable worth, same service, as well as the same pay rather than position themselves as lower-cost providers who are able to provide better care. It is true that in comparison to physicians, APNs are able to offer high-quality care to patients at a relatively lower rate. However, how can physicians and APNs receive a different payment if they provide the same services? In this case, APNs should strive for better payment. Actually, the health care system should be focused on evaluating the services and resources provided rather than the type of the provider. APNs should position themselves at the forefront of innovative models of health care delivery to provide an opportunity for people to âage in place, become their own providers, and maximize wellness in their livesâ (Mason, Leavitt, & Chaffee, 2016, p. 546). In other words, they should aim at enhancing their comparable worth since such a tactic would be beneficial not only for APNs but also for the U.S. health delivery system. As a result, the United States should redesign its health care and orient it to paying for value rather than other qualities.

The main impact that global migration has on the nursing workforce is that it causes many imbalances in the resources that exist in the nursing field. This imbalance in the resources generally arises from the fact that when nurses migrate from their regions to others, they deplete the medical resources available in the areas where they go (Mason et al. 2013). At the same time, they leave behind underutilized resources from their regions, thus causing an imbalance in the resources. It mainly has a significant influence on the demand and compensation for the Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) .

Ever had this nagging feeling you just weren't sure why a physician referred his or her patients to a competitor over you? You have the advanced technology, latest clinical trials, and maybe even a top-notch team of liaisons.

Traditionally development of digital tools was solely an IT initiative, but today it is a customer-needs driven initiative. Digital experiences are often times the first impression that potential customers have of you, and the first tools they turn to when they have questions or needs throughout their journey.
Best practices for developing digital tools exist, and it is common to partner with an advertising or web development agency for this purpose. However, each market and healthcare brand are unique, necessitating the inclusion of voice of the customer insight to ensure that digital tools are being built around the real (not just assumed) needs and priorities of users. So how can marketing and digital teams engage users in order to develop the digital strategy and deliver the ideal digital experience? In this paper, we present a proven process and research-based tools for obtaining direct user feedback about digital needs, preferences, and priorities.
