BEYOND PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT: A ROADMAP TO PARTNER WITH PHYSICIANS TO BE ALL IN
As the CEO of the Healthcare Leadership Institute, I’ve seen the power of strong physician engagement firsthand. I’ve also witnessed the problems that occur when physician are not engaged, and it isn’t pretty. It is a safety threat.
Engagement is critical in today’s ever-changing healthcare system. It can improve clinical outcomes, boost patient experience and safety scores, and promote a positive culture throughout the organization. Yet metrics among physicians are at a mere 10 percent.

Mo Kasti’s Book on Leadership
Mo Kasti’s “Physician Leadership: The Rx for Healthcare Transformation” explains why physician leadership is an essential component to successful healthcare transformation and why most physicians are currently ill-prepared to lead others. Mo highlights the symptoms that physicians and healthcare organizations are experiencing as a result of a leadership vacuum and provides a solution that defines, measures, analyzes, improves, and verifies leadership evolution. Many specific examples, which will resonate with anyone working in healthcare today, as well as successful case studies, are included.
Key Takeaways
Medical education focuses on clinical skills, graduating generations of physicians taught to treat patients, but not to assume the critical leadership roles required in our turbulent times.
Medical educational focus is on individual excellence, not on quality outcomes.
We inadvertently produce doctors from the old paradigm, while the new health age cries out for new skill sets that include leadership, teamwork, collaboration and innovation.
When physicians disengage from their vocations, whether due to cynicism or burnout, healthcare transformation becomes impossible to achieve.
Physician leadership is not a position or a title, it is a mindset.
Where there is strong physician leadership, healthcare organizations benefit. They become exemplars of quality patient care and cost effectiveness.
Organizations that effectively develop physician leaders have demonstrated better engagement, better alignment, and better results for patients, employees, and business performance.
