Rowing together: How to rally your team to achieve practice goals
Zed Williamson of Physician Growth Accelerator discusses how rallying a team of physicians around shared core values can help achieve a practice’s broader goals.
In today’s health care landscape, a practice’s ability to collaborate seamlessly across teams and functions isn’t just a strategic advantage — it’s critical to the practice’s success. As the industry faces increasing pressures from regulatory bodies, evolving patient expectations and rapidly advancing technologies, a lack of teamwork can hinder a practice’s culture and, as a result, its progress. Cohesive, cross-functional collaboration among all practice staff helps individual processes align with broader organizational goals. This ultimately creates a work culture that ensures physicians are proud of the care they provide and are excited to arrive at work every day.
A 2017 survey of 314 nurse practitioners and physicians in New York found that practices with higher teamwork scores reported significantly greater job satisfaction (81%), lower intent to leave (14%) and higher perceived quality of care (89%), according to “Medical Care Research and Review.” Although creating an engaging company culture is the clear goal for most practices, putting this plan into action can prove difficult.
Zed Williamson, founder and CEO of TrackableMed and Physician Growth Accelerator, joined a recent Medical Economics Practice Academy session to discuss how rallying a team of physicians and staff around shared core values can help achieve a practice’s broader goals.
