Healthcare Sprints to Transform – Helpful Hints

Healthcare organizations are moving at light speed to transform the way they function.  Expanding government oversight, shrinking resources, technology demands, and increased complexity of services have all put incredible pressure on providers to change their business and care models. It’s quite a challenge.

Putting the core principles of managing change in a highly complex environment like healthcare is what my colleagues and I have been focused on.  If you’re in the middle of the industry the obstacles seem both large,and in some cases, invisible until you stumble on them. 

With so much change happening simultaneously in healthcare settings today it’s critically important to focus on basics of transformational process.

• Clearly describe what the future looks like, feels like and responds like
• Align the organziation around the true mission and values that make healthcare the noblest of services
• Put patients first in all decisions
• Embrace and inform every stakeholder of what the future holds and their value in the transformation process
