Happy Fourth of July!

On July 2, 1953, Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, dedicated the NIH Clinical Center. Stating, "I proudly dedicate this Center to medical research as a symbol of our national concern for the health of our people... for their right to pursue happiness unhampered by crippling pain and illness. It is new evidence that the American government continues to be responsive to the people and to the needs of the people." #NIHhistory #NIHproud #americasresearchhospital

I'm thrilled to share that I recently facilitated an intensive 8-hour Healthcare Mastery Workshop at the NIH Clinical Center (CC). What an incredible experience to engage with some of the nation's foremost innovators and thought leaders in translational medicine! Key highlights: ·    Refined strategies for navigating complex conflicts in healthcare settings ·    Mastered techniques for forming coalitions in complex negotiations ·    Enhanced relational skills crucial for successful healthcare negotiations ·    Applied a 'trilingual' approach to excel in boardroom, exam room, and operating room negotiations ·    Practiced advanced skills for balancing clinical, operational, and financial considerations in healthcare decision-making. A huge thank you to the NIH for this opportunity, especially to: ·       James Gilman Clinical Center ·       Pius Aiyelawo, SES, FACHE, COO of the NIH Clinical Center ·       Tricia Coffey, Chief of the Health Information Management Division ·       Andrew Mannes, MD, ME, MBA, Chief of the Department of Perioperative Medicine I'd like to give special thanks to @Maureen McDonnell, Branch Chief, for her invaluable support in planning and executing this workshop. I'm grateful for the chance to contribute to advancing healthcare negotiations with such a distinguished and forward-thinking group. What's your take on the evolving landscape of healthcare negotiations? Let's discuss this in the comments! #HealthcareLeadership #NegotiationSkills #NIH #TranslationalMedicine #ProfessionalDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation
