Your patients depend on your organization for their care. The best way to continue serving them is by making sure your health system operates like a well-oiled machine. However, inefficiency in your physician enterprise can cause a poor experience for your patients and cause them to look elsewhere. 

The physician enterprise is a health system’s backbone. If you’re not giving it your full attention, your organization will suffer—and your patients will look elsewhere for care. 

The Right Operations

As a healthcare leader, you are continually assessing how your health system and its operations align with the needs of the communities you support. Do you have the right specialists and care providers for your service areas? What assets do you have—and which ones do you need to add—to deliver the best care? 

You need a big-picture approach to your physician enterprise, evaluating its efficiency and expenses along with related technology, staffing, and provider compensation. Your patients are counting on you to deliver a seamless, integrated experience, from the moment they schedule an appointment through the entirety of their care journey. 

Your patients’ needs should drive how you think about your physician enterprise—but optimizing your physician enterprise means confronting myriad challenges. For example, you must solve for a more complex and demanding workforce, which has been greatly impacted by provider burnout and the economic and societal changes from the pandemic. You must overcome continued pressure on revenue for your health system, changes in how care is provided, and innovations in technology. Providers are also balancing increasing demands on their own time from patient care, administrative and academic responsibilities, and the need for increased patient-centric solutions.
