Healthcare Management

The Health Care Management Minute

---

Heraclitus the Greek philosopher aptly indicated “The Only Thing that is Constant is Change”. Indeed we are witnessing significant change in healthcare on all fronts. Health care reforms including the Affordable Care Act, are changing ground rules on how care will be delivered in the future. Kotter, the management Guru suggests that certain triggers are required for change including a “burning platform” to create a sense of urgency. As a nation we have done this by acknowledging the unsustainable spending in health care. We also know that clinical and patient safety outcomes aren’t necessarily at par when compared to other developed nations.
The renewed focus on population health requires that health care organizations change their traditional ways of providing care. It requires executives in the C-suite to go back to the drawing board to deter- mine the new value proposition for patients, payers, and purchasers of care. It requires healthcare organizations to understand workforce requirements for the future. Clearly, the curative model alone isn’t going to be enough! It is time that we focused on health and not just disease. The stage has been set and we all need to play our respective roles.
