You can either shape your future or live someone else's...
Increasingly clients and visitors to
third Evolution speak of a desire to
influence the shape of healthcare delivery in the future. With the current
political climate, it's virtually certain U.S. healthcare is in for some
significant changes and the clock is ticking to stake out "change" oriented
policy ground.
If you've reviewed healthcare reform
legislation and looked at the stances of the major parties, you've noticed
one glaring fact. Insurance and pharma are receiving more ink than physicians,
or in the parlance of policy - providers. As a good friend once quipped, "I
didn't spend four years in medical school and five in residency to be called a
'provider'." You probably didn't either. So now is the time to initiate change -
how?
The first question I ask a clients who state an interest in policy is, what's
your position? That is, what element or elements of policy interest you -
articulate those interests. It begins by saying, this is what I believe, and
crafting a well written and researched document to support your position.
Probably, if you have a strong interest in a particular area, you've already
spoken to colleagues about your views, perhaps led a discussion at a society
meeting or even a letter to the editor or to your legislators. These activities
become a foundation building block for your credentials and from which to
advocate your currently expressed position.
Once your position is articulated and you've learned how to "present yourself as
a health policy expert," you'll begin your communications campaign. It's all a
matter of defining your process, developing your materials and exposing your
position to selected interested parties.
third Evolution will help you at each step, from suggesting and then challenging
your policy positions to refining your presentation and selecting individual
and/or organizational targets to meet. Then we'll prep you for your meetings,
coaching you through this new and exciting career path.
