Building an Effective Health Care Team

The many challenges in healthcare today require great leadership. Access, affordability and quality are just a few of the overarching issues that call for and, in fact, demand great leadership from within healthcare. Only recently are healthcare organizations awakening to the importance of developing physician-leaders and, in this context, offering physician-leadership programs. Join Dr. Stoller as he outlines the domains of needed competencies for effective physician-leadership.

Work complexity and job specialization necessitate working across organizational, educational and institutional boundaries to provide the best care while maintaining quality and cost. Teamwork is essential; building and creating high-performing teams is critical to organizational success. This presentation focuses on the attributes of high-performing teams, including the skills and leadership abilities necessary to create and sustain team excellence.
