Addressing social determinants of health such as where we live, work, and play, etc can significantly enhance both overall health outcomes and the quality of life in our communities.

Unfortunately, this architecture undercuts our ability to fund other critical drivers of system health that go beyond individual projects. Changing the way we fund system health work will not be easy, but it is necessary to create lasting change. In this new blog, Rob Ricigliano and Anna Muoio propose three correctives that might help.

All about the R in ✨SPARK: Cultivating Relationships - The Heart of Healthcare Success The R in SPARK stands for Relationships. In healthcare, strong relationships with patients, staff, and other stakeholders are more than just good practice – they are the foundation for financial stability. 👫Patient Relationships: 🤝🏼Building trust and rapport: Fostering open communication and actively listening to patients' concerns is key to building long-term trust and loyalty. 🤝🏼Providing exceptional service: Going the extra mile to ensure patient satisfaction not only leads to positive word-of-mouth but also encourages patients to return for future needs, contributing to a steady revenue stream. 🧑🏻⚕️Staff Relationships: 🤝🏼Investing in employee well-being: A happy and motivated staff leads to better patient care, improved efficiency, and reduced turnover, all of which contribute to financial health. 🤝🏼Promoting collaboration and teamwork: Encouraging communication and collaboration across departments fosters a positive work environment and improves operational efficiency, leading to cost savings. 🏘Community Relationships: 🤝🏼Partnering with local organizations: Collaborating with community health initiatives and organizations enhances your reputation and expands your reach, attracting new patients and strengthening your financial standing. 🤝🏼Engaging in social responsibility: Taking an active role in improving community health demonstrates your commitment to social good and attracts patients who value such initiatives. By cultivating strong relationships with all stakeholders, healthcare facilities can create a virtuous cycle of trust, loyalty, and financial stability. Stay tuned for the final post in this series where we'll discuss the importance of setting and tracking the right KPI's for your healthcare success!
