Provider leadership should be formally incorporated within the organization’s management infrastructure by specifying formally designated physician leadership positions and establishing a physician leadership council to provide direct input into the organization’s strategic planning and operational problem-solving and decision-making processes. Doing so will lead to more efficient and effective organizational function, enhanced positioning for value-based care delivery, and accelerated progress toward becoming a high performing network. Directly involving provider leadership also increases engagement, enhances alignment, improves outcomes, promotes recruitment and retention success, and mitigates burnout risk.
