Choose the right perspective
Match the person's specialty and setting to yours, since a cardiovascular program at an academic medical center differs from an orthopedic line in a community system or an ambulatory clinic network. Also decide whether your question is mainly about growth strategy, physician alignment or service line finances, and pick someone whose roles centered on that work.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you structure a service line so that physicians and administrators share accountability for results?
- 02Which measures do you use to judge whether a service line is growing profitably?
- 03How do you decide where to invest when building out a cardiovascular or oncology program across several hospitals?
