Unprecedented Times... Again
We launched The Warbird Brief because of the major shifts happening in healthcare. The phrase “unprecedented times” has appeared in virtually every industry article, LinkedIn post and OpEd over the last five years. Chances are, more than a few of us have caught ourselves using it, too.
Saying these are unprecedented times is not new or terribly insightful. However, the realities it describes are unmistakable: Shifting economics, evolving regulations and transformations in policy and regulation continue to reshape how providers operate.
So, yes, this is an unprecedented time. But what gets missed in the fervor and fret:
Unprecedented doesn't mean impossible.
Unprecedented does not mean we are without opportunity.
Every challenge, whether in business or life, comes with a corresponding opportunity to reimagine and innovate. This moment in healthcare encourages us to examine every corner of our work and organizations and find new ways to improve performance, streamline and strengthen finances, overhaul and rethink operations and, in the end, rise stronger than before.
The Warbird Brief will serve as a forum for our expert practitioners, current and former partners, consultants, team members and broader network to explore the changing healthcare landscape. We will highlight emerging trends, champion our shared successes, provide opportunities for advancement and growth and, ultimately, develop strategies that move our industry forward.
The work in front of us will not be easy.
It’s going to challenge us at every turn.
At Warbird, the team is rolling up our sleeves right alongside you. We’re committed to listening, collaborating, innovating, problem-solving and finding a way through – together.
As you read through this first edition, I invite each of you to reach out to me, or any member of the Warbird team you’ve worked with in the past. We welcome your thoughts, questions and ideas. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Mike Draa
