Editor's pick: Free Greeley white paper addressing physician-hospital alignment

What do fed-up ED on-call surgeons, disgruntled specialists, and a frustrated CEO all have in common? Problems with physician-hospital alignment.

“Regardless of the titles used in your organization, the point to consider is that a new set of leadership and management competencies is required to lead contemporary healthcare organizations,” says William K. Cors, MD, FACPE, MMM, CMSL, vice president of medical staff services at The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro, Inc. in Marblehead, MA.

The Greeley Medical Staff Institute recently released a free white paper, “Physician-Hospital Competition and Collaboration: The New C-suite—Sailing the Seven Cs.” This resource breaks down the solution to this problem into seven goals:

  1. Embracing change
  2. Seeking collaboration
  3. Increasing communication
  4. Handling competition
  5. Managing conflict
  6. Influencing culture
  7. Cultivating influence

“If people are going to assume leadership positions in healthcare today, they need to obtain education, training, and proficiency in this new set of competencies.”
