Physician Engagement and Alignment
BayCare believes that the organization needs to meaningfully engage physicians in all significant clinical-operational decisions that impact care in order to consistently deliver clinical excellence.
As such, BayCare’s Board of Trustees approved a set of leadership principles outlining key elements of physician engagement to emphasize participation at all levels. BayCare also created a leadership institute to help develop physicians into more effective leaders, and more than 100 physicians have graduated from this program to date.
BayCare also saw a marked increase in its physician engagement and alignment scores, and set a major goal to position the health system so that it will be known as the best place to practice medicine.
BayCare’s 2016 Press Ganey survey showed that the health system’s overall engagement and alignment scores for hospital-based physicians approached the top quartile, or top 25 percent, when compared to similar- sized health systems around the country. Press Ganey is one of the country’s leading opinion research firms focused on health care.
BayCare Medical Group (BMG) also significantly improved its overall physician engagement and alignment scores in 2016. BMG is Tampa Bay’s leading multi-specialty group with over 500 providers practicing in more than 160 locations in 45 specialties.
