Strong Physician Leadership Drives Integration

Integrating physician roles and incentives with hospitals and health systems may be the most important factor in transforming the nation’s healthcare delivery system. Dedicated and experienced physician leaders will be one of the most important factors in improving standards of care, taking costs out of the system, and driving clinical innovation.

Witt/Kieffer has an impressive track record in finding experienced physician leaders on behalf of hospitals, health systems, integrated delivery systems, physician group practices and other organizations. Our search professionals with clinical and/or administrative backgrounds appreciate what healthcare organizations need in more traditional physician executive roles such as chief medical officer, chair, chief and medical director, as well as leaders in integrated and independent group practices. We also stay connected with emerging leaders as healthcare organizations increasingly tap physicians for CEO roles.
