The Patient’s Primary Care Experience: A Road Map to Powerful Partnerships
Consumer expectations, accreditation requirements and the rise of alternative payment models are driving the future of primary care delivery. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change and innovation, with many services shifting to the virtual environment. Putting patients at the center of the healthcare practice is no longer an aspirational goal—it is rapidly becoming a requirement.
The Patient’s Primary Care Experience: A Road Map to Powerful Partnerships is a handbook for providing patient-centered care. The book focuses on the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, which emphasizes building relationships and enhancing communication. The authors begin by making the business case for the PCMH model and then dive into implementation tips and strategies.
Topics covered include partnering with patients in creating and achieving care goals; improving access through telemedicine, telehealth and shared medical appointments; preventing and mitigating staff burnout while promoting resilience; integrating patient and family perspectives into systems and processes; and enhancing both the patient and staff experience with healing design.
The tools, templates and advice in this practical guide have been tested and refined through the authors’ experience in primary care environments, and they will help your organization increase patient satisfaction and improve outcomes.
The reality of a healthcare consulting career can be very different from how people often imagine it. Although an executive might transition to a consulting role, management experience and knowledge do not guarantee success.
Executive Turned Consultant: Transitioning from Experienced Executive to Trusted Advisor in Healthcare offers guidance to executives contemplating a move into management consulting. The book walks readers through key considerations and includes firsthand accounts of executives who have navigated the transition.
Topics covered in the book include why and how to conduct a mid-career assessment, how consulting compares with executive management, common mistakes executives make when launching a consulting career, the pros and cons of joining an existing firm versus going into solo practice, and how to determine the best time to make the move to consulting.
In his previous book, The Healthcare Consultant’s Handbook: Career Opportunities and Best Practices, Scott A. Mason, DPA, FACHE, offered early careerists insight into the essential role of healthcare consultants and what truly makes a consultant exceptional. In this new book, he provides practical advice to help healthcare executives make an informed career decision about becoming a professional consultant with a clear understanding of both the risks and rewards.
