In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Vizient expert Mahaya Walker to unpack surprising insights from a recent Strategy Exchange focused on the evolving role of strategy teams in physician alignment. They explore why strategy leaders are often underutilized in alignment efforts, how generational shifts are shaping physician employment models, and where gaps exist between short-term activities and long-term goals like Value-Based Care. Tune in for fresh perspectives on how academic medical centers and community hospitals are navigating this complex terrain.
