Question
he tension in hospital-physician relationships is a long-standing and widely acknowledged concern. A productive relationship between hospitals and physicians is essential to good patient care and improvement in organizational clinical goals and outcomes. You are completing this assignment to demonstrate your understanding of recommended strategies for improving hospital-physician relations and clinical goals and outcomes.
Assume the role of the hospital CEO for this case. The hospital board of directors has reviewed the average length of stay and has asked you to better align physician-hospital clinical goals and outcomes. The board also wishes to improve the existing relationship between the hospital and physicians.
The case states, two doctors consistently keep too many of their patients in the hospital longer than the average length of stay for several diagnosis-related groups. They say their patients are older and sicker and that they are practicing higher-quality medicine. What do you say to them?
In 500 words or less, prepare a response to the board in memo format that identifies three strategies you would undertake to better align hospital-physician clinical goals and outcomes. Provide supporting rationale for why you believe each strategy would work.
Finally, in one paragraph, describe one action you would undertake as CEO to improve hospital-physician relations. Use the below memo format to respond to the board.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Board of Directors
FROM: David(CEO)
DATE: 26-06-2018
SUBJECT: Betterment of Physician/Hospital Relationship
As of 26th June,2018, The Hospital should adapt new strategies to improve the relations between the Physicians and the Hospital to receive better outcomes. Proposed Strategies are as follows:
1.) Each weekend some recreational activities must be conducted like a yoga class where the participation of all hospital staff is mandatory which will help leak the stress.
2.) At the end of each month, there should a meeting and a brainstorming session between the staff and board of directors should be held so as to improve the working of the hospital.
3.) Each physician should be awarded some bonus on the basis of his/her performance which will motivate everyone to perform well too.
Providing bonus to Physicians on merit of their performance will motivate them to work harder and this will also create an opportunity to inspire others.
I will be glad to discuss these strategies with you later on and follow through on any decisions you make.
DAVID
