There is a better way--for both patients and doctors. In One Patient At A Time, they open the doors to their Nashville practice to let patients see how leadership, systems, staff, and doctors combine to deliver patient-focused, relationship-driven care. And they show doctors how to provide this kind of care by giving specific, implementable steps that drive a culture of service to patients--one that patients clearly see as unique, enjoyable, and a better experience than the typical doctor visit. Read this book and you will never look at your healthcare experience or your practice the same. And you will be better for it.
Download or read book Building Connected Communities of Care written by Keith Kosel and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a community, aligning efforts across a community to support the safety and well-being of vulnerable and underserved individuals is extraordinarily difficult. These individuals suffer disproportionally from health issues, job loss, a lack of stable housing, high utility costs, substance abuse, and homelessness. In addition to medical care, these individuals often critically need access to community social sector organizations that provide a distinct and complementary set of services, such as housing, food services, emergency utility assistance, and employment assistance. These services are just as vital as healthcare services to these individuals’ long-term health and well-being, with data suggesting that 80–90% of health outcomes can be attributed to factors beyond direct medical intervention. This book proposes a novel approach to the coordination of medicine and social services through the use of people, process, and technology, with the goal being to streamline coordination between medical and Community-Based Organizations and to promote true cross-sector patient and client advocacy. The book is based on the experience of Dallas, TX, which was one of the first metropolitan regions to develop a comprehensive foundation for partnership between a community’s clinical and social sectors using web-based information exchange. In the 5 years since the initial launch, the authors have been able to provide seamless connection, communication, and coordination between healthcare providers and a wide array of community-based social service organizations (a/k/a Community-Based Organizations or CBOs), criminal justice entities, and various other community organizations, including non-collegiate educational systems. This practical how-to guide is the codification of transferrable lessons from successes and challenges faced when working with clinical, community, and government leaders. By reading this playbook, leaders interested in building (or expanding) connected clinical-community services will learn how to: 1) facilitate cross-sector care coordination; 2) enable community care partners to better provide targeted services to community residents; 3) reduce duplication of services across partnering organizations; and 4) help to bridge service gaps in the currently fragmented system. Implementation of services, as recommended in this book, will ultimately streamline assistance efforts, reduce repeat crises and emergency funding requests, help address disparities of care, and improve the health, safety, and well-being of the most vulnerable community residents.

Download or read book The New Era of Healthcare written by Emad Rizk and published by HC Pro, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-03-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Era of Healthcare: Practical Strategies for Providers and Payers Emad Rizk, MD Increased collaboration between providers and payers has the potential to reduce costs, improve processes, and enhance patient care. But a gulf between the two groups does the reverse--it leads to more expense and inefficiency in healthcare. The New Era of Healthcare: Practical Strategies for Providers and Payers focuses on methods to forge a partnership between the two groups. This book contains actionable strategies to develop a relationship of mutual understanding between payers and providers. The result is an alignment of clinical, administrative, and economic areas in which more efficient, cost-effective care is provided to the patient. Case studies demonstrate how the payer/provider relationship can actually benefit both sides. For example, in Mississippi, a Medicare program successfully signed up 40% of primary care physicians by clearly explaining the program that targeted at-risk poor, rural patients. Face-to-face group meetings helped win physician support, and with physicians on board, patients were more apt to take part in the program. Dr. Emad Rizk of McKesson Health Solutions provides practical examples to illustrate successful working relationships between payers and providers. This book will help enable readers to: Develop physician buy-in Impact healthcare at the local and regional level, where the majority of care in this country originates Establish portals that allow for information sharing between payers and providers Create incentive-based payment programs that engage rather than penalize physicians Fund electronic health records that provide access for the patient, physician, and health plan Streamline administrative processes and allowing for electronic claims processing The New Era of Healthcare: Practical Strategies for Providers and Payers is ideal for those employed by health plans, disease management providers, and physician practices, which are looking for cutting edge strategies that result in better outcomes, lower costs, and enhanced patient care. The strategies outlined in this book will benefit executives who have the ability to affect change in their organization. Take a look at the table of contents: Chapter 1: Why Payers and Providers Are Disconnected Chapter 2: What Is Needed: Three Types of Alignment Chapter 3: Getting Started: Creating a Pilot Project Chapter 4: Tools to Support Collaboration Chapter 5: Leading a Successful Partnership Chapter 6: Clinical Processes for Greater Cooperation Chapter 7: Economic Alignment: The Right Incentives Chapter 8: Achieving Administrative Alignment Chapter 9: A Model for Care in Pennsylvania Chapter 10: The Future for Payers and Providers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller Business Book of the Year--Association of Business Journalists From the New York Times bestselling author comes an eye-opening, urgent look at America's broken health care system--and the people who are saving it--now with a new Afterword by the author. "A must-read for every American." --Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief, FORBES One in five Americans now has medical debt in collections and rising health care costs today threaten every small business in America. Dr. Makary, one of the nation's leading health care experts, travels across America and details why health care has become a bubble. Drawing from on-the-ground stories, his research, and his own experience, The Price We Pay paints a vivid picture of the business of medicine and its elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr. Makary shows how so much of health care spending goes to things that have nothing to do with health and what you can do about it. Dr. Makary challenges the medical establishment to remember medicine's noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable. The Price We Pay offers a road map for everyday Americans and business leaders to get a better deal on their health care, and profiles the disruptors who are innovating medical care. The movement to restore medicine to its mission, Makary argues, is alive and well--a mission that can rebuild the public trust and save our country from the crushing cost of health care.

Book excerpt: Every leader aspires to be excellent, to inspire excellence, and to lead a great organization. The question, of course, is how to achieve these goals. One possible path is to understand and learn from leaders whose principles and practices have demonstrated the "how." One such leader is Paul H. O'Neill, Sr. (1935-2020), former U.S. Treasury Secretary, former CEO of Alcoa, and a person who impacted U.S. healthcare policy and played an integral role throughout Value Capture's history. Paul would often ask other leaders, "What do you want your legacy to be?" He asked that as a way to get people to think well beyond themselves at that moment, and think of what they could influence and build in themselves and others for a better future. One element of Paul's legacy is the speeches that he gave over the years, sharing his experiences as a leader, to try to provide other leaders with guidance on how to achieve goals of excellence. "A Playbook for Habitual Excellence: A Leader's Roadmap from the Life and Work of Paul H. O'Neill, Sr." collects a few of Paul's most notable speeches and Senate testimony. The principles that were Paul's True North are made clear, and hopefully, will help light the path that you take as a leader. We hope you find his words to be inspiring, informative, and useful.All royalties are being donated to one of Paul's favorite causes, The Neighborhood Academy.
