Health systems face a fundamental challenge: they need partners who understand local nuances and community needs, yet can also provide the technology, resources, and expertise that only come with national scale.
To protect and advance current and future access to care for all patients, we need to get creative, to think outside the box, to innovate.
Hospital-at-home programs offer a compelling, clear value proposition for both patients and hospitals. For patients, they provide the comfort of home, with more control over the environment and a less restrictive setting than traditional hospital stays.

The next afternoon she was stumbling through her day and blurted out, “I feel terrible after being up all night.” My response? “Welcome to how I’ve felt about every fourth day for over 30 years.” From medical school rotations to last year, ages 20 to 54, I walked the
To truly deliver high-quality care to our patients, and further improve the stability and sustainability of health care organizations and our health care system, we must also renew our commitment to understanding and meeting patient expectations. Patient health literally depends on it.
Health care has two sides: care delivery and business sustainability. You can’t have one without the other; both are equally important. Health care organizations need processes and systems that deliver exceptional patient care and are financially and operationally sustainable. The dyad leadership model is the best way to achieve these often-opposing goals. What Is a Dyad Leadership Model? According to the Medical Group Management Association, dyad leadership is a partnership between a non-physician administrative leader and
The health care industry is undergoing a major transformation driven by increasing digital technology adoption. For example, telehealth has become integral to American health care, with over 78.6% of hospitals utilizing this technology in some form.
