The Key to Successful Service Lines: Relationships with Physicians
Service lines rely heavily on the relationships between physicians and hospitals. Engagement must start by providing leadership opportunities and removing administrative barriers. Building trust with physicians requires transparent communication, social opportunities for them to get to know each other, and the willingness to listen to their input. It’s also important for new physicians to understand what they’re getting into and for organizations to be honest about who they are and what they can offer.
The Benefit of Partnerships with Outside Organizations
Partnerships with outside organizations can help achieve the desired end goal for service lines. Communication and shared investments are key, and contracts can be structured for teaching and financial incentives.
Improving Physician Satisfaction and Service Line Strategies
The panel suggested engaging in physician satisfaction surveys and benchmarking against quality and experience metrics to improve relationships between providers and organizations. Additionally, developing service line strategies based on community needs and organizing care teams around a horizontal continuum of care is crucial.
