APP adopts dyad leadership model
New leadership structures pair clinical and administrative leads to oversee entity, primary care and specialty services.
I am pleased to announce a few important organizational changes at Asante Physician Partners that will go into effect this month. These changes will move APP toward a dyad model of leadership, which has been a vision for APP since its inception.
In health care, the dyad leadership model is best described as pairing a physician with a nonphysician administrator for strategic and operational oversight. Studies on dyad leadership models show it helps improve communication and efficiency, offers a more patient-centric approach to leadership, and standardizes clinical and operational leadership that focuses on teams rather than individuals.
An organization’s governance and leadership structure is responsible for embedding the necessary attributes to make it successful, and care must be taken to ensure the structure is expertly constructed.
The dyad leadership model has emerged as the best practice for guiding and managing health care organizations and we are confident that will be true for Asante Physician Partners.
