<h1><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">New reimbursement schemes</span></strong></h1>
<h1><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">New partnerships<a href="http://courageinstitute4healthcare.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/logo_courageinstitute-en.png"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-69" title="logo_courageinstitute-en" src="http://courageinstitute4healthcare.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/logo_courageinstitute-en.png?w=150&#038;h=47" alt="" width="150" height="47" /></a></span></strong></h1>
<h1><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Escalating costs</span></strong></h1>
<h1><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Game-changing technologies</span></strong></h1>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Courage is needed to thrive, not just survive, in the post-reform world.  With tougher challenges, complex arrangements, diminished resources, changing rhythms, a faster tempo.  Do your physicians, caregivers and department heads have enough of it?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">There is a bright future for healthcare deliverers who “get it” and who can transform their organizations to meet the new challenges  Who deliver effective quality health care with aligned payment systems that reward effectiveness.  Create new physician-hospital partnerships.  Thrive, not just survive, with new constraints.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Being a pioneer takes courage — for healthcare executives, suppliers, for physicians and other caregivers.   To form partnerships rather than fostering adversarial relationships.  Adopt new technologies.  Rely on a network of providers, deploying new models of care.   To operate with a higher level of transparency and accountability.  Foresee and mitigate risks.  Make better use of limited resources, space and facilities.  And orchestrate the right caredelivered at the right time in the right setting.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">Courage flips the switch — and activates possibility thinking, to unlock the potential of new paradigms in healthcare delivery.  Even when it seems scary.  And when some influential stakeholders — who hold the success of the institution in their hands — are intent on resisting, rather than shaping, change.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000080;">You can infuse the courage to lead change into the DNA of your entire healthcare system or into a small team that is on the cutting edge.  Let us show you how.  Call us @ +1-215-821-1295</span></p>
