Medical credentialing, which once was straightforward and routine, has become an important and complex task in the healthcare industry. No longer can physicians and healthcare providers simply present their academic credentials and expect to go to work and receive reimbursement for services in a short period. Rather, their qualifications must be validated at many levels, in several areas, and at regular junctures during their careers.

Savvy healthcare leaders must understand big data and how invaluable big data platforms are for improving patient care and generating potential sources of revenue. Leaders must acknowledge, however, the potential financial, legal, security, and ethical pitfalls when others work with their de-identified patient healthcare data. The authors provide a guide for healthcare leaders on how to use the sensitive and important patient data they house.

Physician leadership is a complex set of aptitudes, attributes, knowledge, and experience, and the leadership required to ensure true patient-centered care is complicated. Critical to every situation is the sense of connectedness and the variety of relationships with patients, peers, friends, and family.

It seems that everyone is in pursuit of an organization’s data, which have become the commodity for healthcare. Physician leaders should ensure that before sharing this valuable commodity, they are getting the most out of their little data for the benefit of their patients, organizations, and communities. Count your change so that you know beforehand what benefits your organization and community can expect from data-sharing and how those benefits will be derived and measured.

Physicians continue to feel immense pressure in their healthcare roles. Technologies are changing the patient-physician interface, patients and families are demanding flawless care, new models of care are encroaching on the traditional roles of “trusted” physicians. Perhaps a convergence of our professionalism is now competing with an inherent need to improve the stewardship of our industry. As physician leaders, we must learn to appreciate the genesis of these influences while also learning how to influence their outcomes.

Value-based contracts have spread unevenly across the country but are becoming increasingly common. Although they require chief medical officers and other physician leaders in health systems to adopt new thinking and master skills well beyond clinical expertise, value-based contracts offer a strategy for improving healthcare overall.

The role of clinician leader takes a toll on health system administrators, with personal impacts such as isolation, burnout, and defensiveness, and institutional outcomes such as impaired job performance, reduced margins, and staff turnover. Research into whether deeper relationships between clinicians and administrators could facilitate organizational change revealed that experiences that focus on bi-directional empathy and relationships address burnout, create trust and connection, and inspire individual and institutional action.

Patient readmission costs upwards of $17 billion annually and is a challenge that health systems must address if they are to achieve success in value transformation. Connecting inpatient and outpatient transitions with the help of an engaged multi-disciplinary task force propelled a Florida healthcare system to readmission rates beyond the 94th percentile in the country. Focusing on chronic obstructive lung disease, congestive heart failure, and diabetes; embracing tenets of change management; using data support; and soliciting active engagement of community resources and partnerships helped lower readmission rates, as did a variety of other strategies.
