Meeting Facilitation
The Need
Healthcare organizations across the country are facing an unprecedented array of
opportunities, threats and issues to resolve. To move forward, organizations often conduct
meetings or retreats to resolve issues and shape plans for the future. Because such
meetings are a big investment (primarily due to the cost of time of the participants),
it is important to achieve as much as possible is at these meetings.
Unfortunately, there are often significant obstacles in conducting efficient and
effective meetings:
-
The participants may not be sure how to work their way through the myriad of issues and
processes.
-
There may be sensitive issues that are difficult for the participants to address.
-
The participants may have no one to coordinate the effort.
-
The participants are often so busy representing the interests of their constituents that
they have difficulty reaching the compromises necessary to reach a solution.
What is often needed is an objective outsider to assist in facilitating decision-making
meetings of healthcare organizations. Facilitators help
in a variety of ways, to include:
 |
Providing focus
and keeping the group on track.
|
 |
Making sure all
are contributing.
|
 |
Reducing wasted
time.
|
 |
Providing
accountability.
|
 |
Providing a fresh
perspective.
|
 |
Asking the tough
questions when needed.
