Rochester Regional Health’s Post

Balancing good business practices when providing medical care can, at times, become incongruent. In every instance proper medical and patient beneficence will take priority. Our oath of altruism is absolute. Yet I firmly believe that operating a medical delivery system utilizing sound business practices can prove to be financially profitable. This can be achieved by educating our medical providers to become astute business leaders. Cultivating this ethos can create an ecosystem where our doctors will guide clinical AND corporate success. I have advocated providing rudimentary business and public health education for all medical students. In fact I provided medical students both in my master’s colloquim course at California Northstate. However, due to restrictions of contact hours implemented by the Liason Committee of Medical Education (LCME) we were forced to eliminate this elective education. In order for us to promote and ensure successful corporatizing of our delivery system we must encourage our providers obtain advanced business degrees, such as MBAs. By placing our medical providers, armed with advanced business education in corporate leadership positions increases the likelihood of success without sacrificing our guiding Hippocratic oath.

An important and provocative blog from Staff College Clinical Director, Mark Edwards considering the scale of challenge for healthcare leaders endeavouring to provide safe, effective, patient-centred, timely, efficient and equitable care through the health service's current guise. The need for revolutionary change and the development of future leaders in order to bridge the quality gap. "As leaders we are given the responsibility for change and we need to let go of the familiar and grasp the uncertainty of those next unfamiliar steps in order to set the conditions for healthcare systems to evolve. It is evident from this line of thought that we are living now in the world created through the choices and actions of our predecessors. It is equally clear that as leaders we hold the responsibility for the future of healthcare and that we are custodians for the next generation. A different set of ‘what ifs’ is needed and these need to come from us as leaders." Find out more about his thoughts here...

Dr. Ouma Oluga delivered a compelling message to young doctors in 2019 about the pivotal role of leadership in medicine. He emphasizes that every doctor is a leader within their team, entrusted with the responsibility of not only providing excellent care but also inspiring their colleagues to excel. Despite this, the concept of physicians as leaders has been overlooked in healthcare, despite patients recognizing them as the arbiters of quality care and treatment decisions. The Medical Association has long advocated for doctors worldwide to embrace leadership roles. However, the challenge for young doctors lies in understanding how to wield this leadership effectively. Dr. Oluga suggests that the first step is to become advocates for patients, ensuring they receive the best possible care. Additionally, doctors should advocate for favorable working conditions for their teams, comprising not only doctors but also nurses and support staff. Patient advocacy, he argues, is the pinnacle of healthcare leadership. He urges doctors to approach leadership roles with a clear understanding of the challenges facing healthcare delivery, emphasizing the importance of policies that make sense both for patients and healthcare providers. Ultimately, Dr. Oluga's message resonates with the need for doctors to embrace leadership at every stage of their career, from medical school onward. Leadership, he emphasizes, is not merely a title but a responsibility to advocate for patients and improve healthcare delivery. He challenges medical students to overcome their hesitation and actively pursue leadership positions, reminding them that true leadership begins with a commitment to serving others. https://lnkd.in/dbyiWFP6 #medicineleadership #doctorleadership
