It’s January, the first month of the New Year, 2014! There
are many sayings that relate to starting afresh, or anew, at this time of year.
If New Year cards were sent out like holiday cards, some would most likely read
with the following quotes:
“You are never too old
to set another goal or dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis
“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” Eleanor Roosevelt
“A mind that is
stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes
Practice Transformation Institute is starting 2014 with new
goals and is looking forward to assisting physician practices and organizations
attain their new goals as well. Today more than ever, it is important to set
goals to keep up with all the changes occurring in health care. The landscape
shifts beneath our feet with every step. The ACA, electronic medical records, Stage
2 Meaningful Use, CMS reimbursement strategies, Medicaid expansion, ICD-10, and
the PCMH model spreading from primary care to the medical neighborhood – all
these strategies and many more are effecting the business of health care.
All change is hard. But how we approach the changes in
today’s medical environment holds the key to its success or failure.
PTI is excited about the changes and eager to embrace them. In
2014 our goal is to help providers navigate the shifting landscape in health
care to achieve meaningful, sustainable change and positive, measurable
movement towards established goals and objectives. Whether undertaking small
goals such as developing a patient registry or a larger goal such as
transforming to a PCMH model of care, PTI can provide learning opportunities
and coaching to help organizations attain and sustain goals.
When looking down the road of 2014, consider the words of
Walt Disney, “We keep moving forward,
opening new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps
leading us down new paths.”
What new paths will you head down in 2014? PTI would like to
know.
