Approach
Can we return joy to patient care and ensure financial viability for healthcare organizations?
Most people don’t think it’s possible. I do.
We've heard the statement “no margin, no mission.” However, consider if it read “no mission, no margin.” We need to pursue both to be effective.
Based on Dr. DeChant's 30 years of patient care and operational leadership experience, as well as executive coaching health systems leaders and writing Preventing Physician Burnout, he has determined that a five-step plan is necessary to cure what ails failing systems and aids in Physician Wellness.
