A soccer field chalkboard with the Walgreens logo in the center. Four hands with blue chalk are drawing up a strategy on the board." width="100%" height="800"></p><p>Walgreens recently has undergone significant leadership changes while facing financial challenges on several fronts. The pharmacy chain operator last month was replaced on the Dow Jones Industrial Average by Amazon and halved its dividend two months earlier to conserve cash as it tries to grow its business.</p><p>In the roughly four months since new CEO Tim Wentworth took over, analysts have been trying to determine how the company will adjust its long-term vision — particularly since some of its huge investments to grow its health care business have yet to deliver the intended results.</p><p>For anyone expecting a major rebranding of the company or a fundamentally new direction in its health care operations, Wentworth essentially had two words to say about it during an <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4675736-walgreens-boots-alliance-inc-wba-presents-44th-annual-td-cowen-healthcare-conference" target="_blank" title="Seeking Alpha: Walgreens Biooks Alliance, Inc. (WBA) Presents 44th Annual TD Cowen Healthcare Conference (Transcript)">interview</a> at the recent TD Cowen Health Care Conference: “Forget it.”</p><p>Instead, Wentworth said he and the board will meet in April to conduct a strategic review of Walgreens’ retail, pharmacy and health care business portfolio and to develop a road map for the future. By year-end we should have a clearer picture on how Walgreens will evolve, but Wentworth gave some hints about potential areas of change.</p><h2><span>4 Takeaways on Walgreens’ Future Health Care Direction</span></h2><h3><span>1</span> <span>|</span> Relationship-building through the pharmacy will receive greater attention.</h3><p>Walgreens’ experience in administering vaccinations to scores of customers convinced Wentworth that pharmacist trust can be leveraged further in other ways on behalf of payers to drive engagement and create value.</p><h4>Takeaway</h4><p>When the company announced its $1 billion cost-cutting initiative last fall, Walgreens stated that many of the cuts in 2024 would come from retail pharmacy operations. It remains to be seen how this fits alongside the goal of expanding the role of pharmacists in leveraging trusting relationships with customers.</p><h3><span>2</span> <span>|</span> Retail stores will remain central to Walgreens’ strategy.</h3><p>Even as it continues to close some of its 8,600 retail outlets to reduce costs, Walgreens will be focused on getting its footprint right, Wentworth said. The emphasis will be on what the organization should look like in five years and then reverse-engineer how the footprint needs to change.</p><h4>Takeaway</h4><p>Determining which locations will deliver incremental health services and which will be more focused on community pharmacy services will be critical in this process. In talks with its board, Wentworth said the company needs to be clear about its strategy for the front (retail) and the back of the stores (pharmacy and health care).</p><h3><span>3</span> <span>|</span> Getting board alignment on health care assets will be critical.</h3><p>As part of its review with the board, company leaders will examine Walgreens’ health care assets, including: primary care provider VillageMD; CareCentrix, a post-acute and home care provider; Summit Health/CityMD, a provider of primary, specialty and urgent care; and Shields Health, a specialty pharmacy. The company’s clinical trials division and fulfillment centers also will be scrutinized. This discussion will help shape strategy on how to optimize performance in the markets these companies serve.</p><h4>Takeaway</h4><p>While Walgreens remains committed to these businesses and has a strong belief in their value, the scale of some operations will change and some could end up being moved to different areas of the company. Last fall, VillageMD announced plans to close underperforming locations in five markets, including all 58 in Illinois and Florida, as part of a larger cost-cutting initiative. And reports that Shields Health may be sold are untrue, Wentworth said. Instead, Walgreens will focus on optimizing value from the company.</p><h3><span>4</span> <span>|</span> New pharmacy models will be explored.</h3><p>Earlier this year, Wentworth said the company will examine new pharmacy models as cost-plus drug pricing appears to be gaining momentum. He believes the market, including CVS’ new pharmacy benefit management (PBM) reimbursement model, is responding to what payers want.</p><h4>Takeaway</h4><p>Wentworth is encouraged by a recent willingness among PBMs to change the conversation around not just cost-plus drug pricing models, but also to other services that companies like Walgreens can provide to create value for PBMs and payers and that can be bundled. The examples of providing vaccinations, tests and other services demonstrate that retailers can provide these services and get paid a fair fee without “cross-subsidization that distorts the economics for us or the marketplace,” he said.</p><h2><span>Learn More</span></h2><p>For a deeper dive into how companies like Walgreens, Amazon, CVS Health and others plan to transform health care this year, read Market Scan’s <a href="/aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2024-02-19-special-report-how-health-care-disruptors-will-transform-field" target="_blank" title="AHA2024 Disruption Report cover Special Report: How Health Care Disruptors will Transform the Field in 2024">2024 Health Care Disruption Outlook</a>.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } Tue, 12 Mar 2024 06:15:00 -0500 Mission/Vision/Strategy /education-events/committee-health-strategy-and-innovation Wed, 18 Oct 2023 10:33:13 -0500 Mission/Vision/Strategy <div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-8"><p>For more than two full years, America’s hospitals and health systems – and their millions of caregivers and front-line team members – have demonstrated courage and compassion as they’ve worked tirelessly to care for and protect their patients and communities.</p><p>Reflective of the challenges faced by the field, we’ve adjusted our priorities and focus to meet the immediate needs of responding to the pandemic while also continuing to work on long-term strategies to advance health in America.</p><p>Recognizing the new environment we are in, the AHA has developed a three-year strategic plan (2022-2024) featuring five strategic pillars that will guide the association’s work.

Service lines continue to be interrupted by COVID-19, with no end in sight. The health care workforce is stressed out and stretched thinly amid the so-called Great Resignation wave. Care delivery increasingly is being moved from hospitals to outpatient facilities and the home, thanks in part to an explosion of digital technologies.</p> <p>These and other trends have sped up health care transformation. And while the future appears anything but clear, thought leaders have issued a slew of predictions and analyses about what executives should be taking away from the current trends.</p> <h2>1 <span>|</span> <span>Meet the Workforce Challenge</span></h2> <p>Workforce retention and recruitment arguably have become the most critical challenge facing health care leaders. One in four U.S. hospitals reporting their data to Department of Health & Human Services said they were facing critical staff shortages last month. Demand for clinical staff, particularly nurses, has led hospitals and health systems to spend significantly more on salaries, sign-on bonuses and traveling nurses.</p> <p>This problem will persist beyond 2022, according to a Jan. 6 S&P Global Ratings report on nonprofit hospitals. The Great Resignation has added to health care’s woes. Of the 6.4 million workers who quit their jobs in November, health care workers had the second highest resignation rate at 6.4%, notes the Bureau of Labor Statistics.</p> <h3><span><span> Critical Success Factors </span></span></h3> <ul> <li><span><strong>Concentrate on retention strategies.</strong></span> Capitalize on the potential of virtual health and digital solutions to transform care delivery and expand access to clinical expertise.</li> <li><span><strong>Prioritize clinician training, support seamless and high-quality interaction.</strong></span> Increase use of augmented reality to train clinicians, assist in treatment and upskill workers. Integrate automation technology and reassess virtual care programs to scale them for long-term success.

The goal is to rely less on costly outside agency staff and provide flexibility to UPMC staff who would like to travel to its facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.</li> </ul> <h2>2 <span>|</span> <span>Transition Care to Home</span></h2> <p>As much as $265 billion worth of care services for Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries could shift to the home by 2025, according to a recent <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare-systems-and-services/our-insights/from-facility-to-home-how-healthcare-could-shift-by-2025" target="_blank" title="McKinsey & Company: From facility to home: How healthcare could shift by 2025">McKinsey & Company report</a>. Interventions like primary care telehealth visits, self-administered dialysis at home, remote patient monitoring and support activities for daily living have the potential to deliver greater value and higher-quality care.</p> <h3><span><span> Critical Success Factors </span></span></h3> <ul> <li><span><strong>Create a value-backed home care strategy.</strong></span> Develop specific use cases in which patients benefit from higher-quality, more accessible care and reduce medical costs and unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department use.</li> <li><span><strong>Develop care-at-home clinical models for patients.</strong></span> Examples include primary and specialty telehealth care, in-home acute care or in-home infusion services.</li> <li><span><strong>Establish partnerships.</strong></span> Consider teaming with other providers or technology companies that can provide care at home; enabling services such as remote monitoring, care management, social support; or building capabilities internally.</li> </ul> <h2>3 <span>|</span> <span>Clinical Outcomes: Your Key Differentiator</span></h2> <p>As direct-to-consumer companies further expand into primary care, behavioral health and other service areas, many are facing challenges in scaling operations. How this might impact outcomes and patients’ expectations remains to be seen, but expect quality to be the ultimate arbiter of success. This will be a year of differentiation, particularly in digital health, notes a <a href="https://www.bvp.com/atlas/2022-healthcare-predictions?#3-As-the-digital-health-field-becomes-more-crowded-clinical-outcomes-will-become-a-key-competitive-differentiator" target="_blank" title="Bessemer Venture Partners 2022 Healthcare Predictions: 3. As the digital health field becomes more crowded, clinical outcomes will become a key competitive differentiator">Bessemer Health Ventures report</a>.</p> <h3><span><span> Critical Success Factors </span></span></h3> <ul> <li><span><strong>Use data analytics to accelerate innovation and reduce risks.</strong></span> With the field moving toward value-based health care models, providers using advanced data management technologies and artificial intelligence-driven analytics to identify opportunities for improvement, measure results and improve outcomes will have the advantage.</li> <li><span><strong>Make targeted investments.</strong></span> For outside companies disrupting health care as well as traditional providers, investing in people, processes and protocols are more important than ever. That may be easier said than done, however, in today’s challenging economic environment.</li> <li><span><strong>Stay focused on quality.</strong></span> This year, many expect the narrative in virtual care, particularly in behavioral health, to shift focus from access to quality. As access gaps are filled, the importance of quality will be underscored. Those who prove real differentiation in clinical outcomes will be the winners.</li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-4"> <p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" data-entity- data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" type="file" class="align-center"></a></p> <a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img alt data-entity-type data-entity-uuid src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png"></a></div> </div> </div> .field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } ul { list-style: none; /* Remove default bullets */ } ul li::before { content: "\2022"; /* Add content: \2022 is the CSS Code/unicode for a bullet */ color: #9d2235; /* Change the color */ font-weight: bold; /* If you want it to be bold */ display: inline-block; /* Needed to add space between the bullet and the text */ width: 1em; /* Also needed for space (tweak if needed) */ margin-left: -1em; /* Also needed for space (tweak if needed) */ } Tue, 08 Feb 2022 06:15:00 -0600 Mission/Vision/Strategy /node/679519 <p>The Free Management Library provides free, easy-to-access, online articles to develop individuals, groups and organizations (for-profit and non-profit).

Without proper execution, even the best strategic plans will fail. A survey of business leaders published in the Harvard Business Review illustrates the challenge:</p> <ul> <li>Only 16% of top leaders were rated very effective at either strategy or execution.</li> <li>Only 8% were rated very effective at both.</li> <li>63% were rated neutral or worse on at least one dimension of strategy or execution.</li> </ul> .TTreadmore{ font-weight: 700; margin-top:50px; } <p class="TTreadmore">Download the <a href="/system/files/media/file/2021/08/TT_ep12-transformational-change.pdf" target="_blank">Episode Abstract</a> >></p> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid row"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> /* CalloutBorderWrapper - aka SponsorMarketoForm */ .CalloutBorderWrapper { background-color: ; padding: 5px 25px 20px 25px; border: solid 2px #307FE2; margin: 25px 100px 25px; } @media (max-width:640px){ .CalloutBorderWrapper { margin: 25px 0px 25px; } } .CalloutBorderWrapper h3 { margin: 10x 0 0 0; color: #555; font-size: .7em; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 3px; max-width: 200px; /* Custom for the copy length */ background-color: #fff; padding: 5px 15px; position: relative; top: -35px } .CalloutBorderWrapper h2 { color: #002855; } .CalloutBorderWrapper .CalloutBorderWrapperHolder { background-color: ; padding: 15px; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 25px; } .CalloutBorderWrapperHolder form { margin: auto; } /* CalloutBorderWrapper - aka SponsorMarketoForm // */ <div class="cta--image-container CalloutBorderWrapper center_body"> <h3>Key Take Aways</h3> <p>Here is what our experts had to say:</p> .sp_CTA5_holder { margin-top:50px; border-bottom: solid 1px #555; padding-bottom: 50px; } .sp_CTA5_holder_last { border-bottom: solid 0px #555; } .sp_CTA5_holder >div{ overflow: auto; } .sp_CTA5_holder ul { list-style: none; /* Remove default bullets */ padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 25px; } .sp_CTA5_holder ul li { margin-bottom: 7px; line-height: 1.5em; } .sp_CTA5_holder ul li::before { content: " "; font-size: 1em; margin-right: 10px; display: inline-block; height: 12px; background-color: #d50032; width: 12px; position: relative; top: 0px; } .sp_CTA5_holder ul li { padding-left: 23px; text-indent: -23px; } .sp_CTA5_holder h2 { color: #002855; /*!
