Engaging Physicians: A Manual To Physician Partnership, a new book by Dr. Stephen C. Beeson, is a tested, staged approach to create physician loyalty, improve physician partnership and generate superior organizational performance. Dr. Beeson, author of the best selling, Practicing Excellence, A Physicians Manual to Exceptional Health Care, and Medical Director of Studer Group, brings a simple and specific approach to getting physicians on board, and engaging physicians in healthcare performance efforts.
The intention of this manual is to help leaders and physicians care for the patient above all else, and to make the pursuit of saving lives and making a difference our shared purpose, says Dr. Beeson. When you can stand together, side-by-side with physicians, and when physicians become champions for the mission, your organization will become unstoppable.
