Finding Financial Stability in Health Care

It’s no secret that 2023 is anticipated to be a difficult year financially for healthcare providers. Staffing shortages, skyrocketing labor costs, continuing supply chain disruptions, inflation, rising interest rates, and volatile markets are pressuring both revenue and expenses. During this session, you’ll learn how to provide financial stability in the areas of workforce, volume and revenue, supplies and purchased services, and the physician enterprise.

Reimagining the Workforce
Lisa Walden, Co-Founder, Good Company Consulting 

Our industry's workforce has been through an unprecedented time of trauma and loss. We owe it to them to reimagine what's ahead and how to bring them through the healing process, to a better place. We are entering a new era of work, one where businesses win when leaders are compassionate, communication is empathetic, and people are prioritized. But that transformation, much like any kind of change, requires a great degree of intention and care. In this new reality, we must hire creatively thinking about how to find and hire top candidates, retain current staff, and build talent pipelines.
