Next Generation Contract Negotiations: Preparation, Training, & Competencies

Coordinating all the internal stakeholders through your healthcare organization can be a daunting task during contract negotiations.  Keeping the team engaged and aligned can be difficult enough, but does everyone have clear visibility to the data throughout the process?  Preparation is critical to success, but a big piece of that preparation has to do with developing the supply chain talent in your organization.  What is being done today to provide training and competency evaluation?  Hays Waldrop, Garry Skinner and Justin Poulin sit down with Beth Fisher-Yoshida, CEO at Fisher Yoshida International LLC and Rodney Erb, CEO at TruVue Analytics to discuss common gaps and the opportunities that exist when it comes to team alignment, physician engagement, change management and most importantly communication. We hope you can join us!
