Turning Conflict Into Collaboration – Successful Strategies for Finance and Clinical Leaders

Episode Overview

To be a high performing health care organization, finance and clinical leaders must work together to improve patient care. Many different factors play a part in the often fragile relationship between the two. But by aligning incentives and increasing communication, the dynamic can improve. On this episode of Value-Based Care insights, host Daniel J. Marino has a great discussion with Dr. George Mayzell and Steven Berger on the evolving relationships between hospitals and physicians.
 
Key takeaways:
  • Evolving incentives and changing financial dynamics can create misalignments between hospitals and physicians.
  • The ability to work together is really predicated on transparency, good communication, and some level of mutual governance.
  • In order to provide good quality care, hospitals and physicians need one another and need better financial alignment, whether that is entering something like a co-management agreement, integrated physician network, or a joint venture. Solutions are not one-size fits all, and the most critical piece still comes back to improving communication between hospital and physician.

Direct-to-Employer Contracts: Benefits to Your Health System

Direct-to-Employer Contracts: Benefits to Your Health System

Episode Overview

Given the increasing health care expenditures and the pressures of the recent pandemic, a direct-to-employer (DTE) contracting strategy is an opportunity for employers to reduce administrative friction costs and preserve revenue. These arrangements can allow you to foster a better relationship between the employees and the provider.
 
On this episode of Value-Based Care insights, host Daniel J. Marino has a discussion on the benefits of DTE arrangements with Bradley Olson, VP of Managed Care, and Britney Bart, Business Development, at a large Midwest Clinically Integrated Network.
 
Key points:
  • There is great opportunity to reduce costs by developing a focused DTE relationship.  Starting a relationship doesn't have to be a large, complicated arrangement.
  • Through a strong DTE relationship, you can create value congruence. As the health care network reduces costs, you can be assured that cost is translated back to the employer and to the community.
  • Structuring wellness programs play a big part in fostering relationships between the employee and the provider.  Additionally, opportunities are created to meet the needs of employers and their employees.
