Financial & Operational Models
In today’s complex healthcare landscape, organizations face mounting pressure to improve financial performance while delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Too often, turnaround efforts focus narrowly on cost-cutting or isolated quality initiatives—missing the deeper cultural transformation and sustained engagement required for long-term success. This session will highlight how to blend business acumen with humanity to drive meaningful, lasting change. During this interactive panel discussion, you will learn how to design and execute comprehensive turnaround strategies that integrate financial improvement, clinical quality, cultural transformation and team development. Drawing on real-world experiences, panelists will share how they revitalized organizations—not through reactive measures but through intentional strategies that renewed culture and aligned operations with mission and values. You will gain a structured approach to diagnosing underperformance, building actionable plans and leading teams toward sustained, high-level performance.
