Develop the Expertise to Effectively Interact and Align to Positively Affect Healthcare Transformation

THE CHALLENGE

Substantial time and energy is often expended trying to align the best practice strategies with quality and financial outcomes essential for ensuring healthcare efficiency and sustainability. 

While the resultant friction that often develops within the healthcare system is typically explained by misaligned incentives, such may not actually be the entire case. More often it is characterized by the fact that physicians often practice without the foundational knowledge and skillset required to effectively manage their patient population in a complex rapidly evolving and changing healthcare system.

PHMA has been developed from the ground up for two essential purposes: the first is to train regional physicians who will study and work together to advance healthcare delivery in their practices and in the communities they serve. The second is to develop the regional provider expertise required to effectively interact and align with payers and health systems focused on positive healthcare transformation.

PHMA includes monthly 3-hour vibrant dynamic class sessions coupled with practice-based assignments focused on boosting practice efficiency, efficacy and quality performance. Led by seasoned subject matter experts, the program is fast-paced, engaging and especially suited for physicians dedicated to applying solution-oriented strategies to real-world practice challenges.
