Insights: Leading organizations through change

MGMA · Medical Practice Insights: Leading Organizations Through Change

Leaders in healthcare are facing a world that is anything but the status quo. In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, Katie Lawrence, MHA, CMPE, Director, Ambulatory Optimization & Integration, Prisma Health, examines how leaders can address change in their organizations to become more successful in engaging team members, physicians, and other stakeholders. As Lawrence says, leadership begins with self, and she discusses how leaders can identify their reactions to changes and how to authentically accept those reactions while understanding that others may not view the same change in the same way.

Lawrence presented a session on the topic at MGMA's virtual Medical Practice Excellence Conference. 

One source Lawrence says she often turns to is Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor who has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy. You can click here to learn more about Brown's teachings.
