2014 Interested In Contracting With The VA? First, Understand The System

Once a veteran - always a veteran.

In the corporate world - there used to be recognition for longtime service once you retired. Company funded retirement plans are rare today.

Might there be a career development plan for employees once they reach a certain status with the company? Might this offer extend to the employees even if they leave the company?

2015 Who’s Bidding On What? 2015’s Most Read RFPs From The OPEN MINDS RF...

"So far in 2015, government agencies (federal, state, and local) put out requests-for-proposals (RFPs) for over $20 billion in health and human service contracts – and we’ve covered them all. What were the most read RFPs in 2015?"

This level of transparency has risk - the bidders now what you are seeking and so do your competitors. Is issuing an RFP worth the risk?

If so - then would our industry benefit from sharing RFP's within an open network? What risks exist? How could those risks be mitigated?

2016 I Know We Can’t Keep Doing What We’re Doing

"I don’t think coming up with new ideas for what to do is the difficult part."

"The greater challenge is developing a market-oriented strategy to make those innovations financially viable – and then realigning your organization from its traditional business model to the new approach."

  • Build knowledge about why changes are needed across the organization
  • Create formal incentives (and penalties) for embracing change
  • Develop talent and skills needed for change 
  • Be the role model

2017 Making Coordinated Care Work For The Medicaid SMI Population – Conn...

The point of this article and the relevance to our industry is that there are many models for paying for services. With training it could be:

  1. Be an overhead cost
  2. Covered at a high-level by the line of business
  3. Charged to individual cost centers
  4. Paid for by the employee
  5. Free

Is there any correlation to these methods and outcomes or is the correlation primarily related to source and convenience?

2018 The New Cultural Competency: Ability To ‘Turn On A Dime’

"All around me, I see my colleagues grappling with the need to change—and change quickly. The change drivers? The emergence of new technologies is obvious.

  • new competition
  • work schedules,
  • consumer expectations,
  • organizational structures,
  • supervisors, and competency requirements also come to mind.

It’s not just the health and human service market space. But, because the health and human service market has been so insulated from change for so long, the rapidity of the current disruptive change in the market is a bit of a shock to organizational cultures."

So maybe it’s time to “return to the basics” of the leadership of organizational change management.

  1. Lead with the culture
  2. Start at the top
  3. Involve every layer
  4. Make the rational and emotional case together
  5. Act your way into new thinking-
  6. Engage, engage, engage
  7. Lead outside the lines
  8. Leverage formal solutions
  9. Leverage informal solutions
  10. Assess and adapt

2019 When Is Medicaid Expansion Not Expansion?

"...each state has chosen their own path to implement the Medicaid expansion. And what this means for provider organizations is a continued bifurcation of state Medicaid programs, bringing along its own set of challenges."

Do some organizations and departments have difference rules related to training services available to employees?

What are the benefits of this?

What potential risks exist?

How can we mitigate the risks without losing the benefits?
