Medical Practice Upgrade

Where Medicine Needs to Go In The Pandemic Era

Physicians Practice Automation Summit - Oct 2021

<h6>Cheng-Huai Ruan, M.D.</h6>
So excited to introduce Dr. Halee Fischer-Wright. Halee has been spending the last 16 years becoming an expert in company and organizational culture and strategy and some turnarounds. She&#8217;s the president of Rose Medical Group, and she helped grow the organization to 560 physicians, which is mindblowing. She is the CEO of the Medical Group Management Association, or MGMA, that most people know, which represents a majority of the physician practices in the United States, which is a very, very large endeavor. Together with executive teams, she&#8217;s worked to grow the MGMA membership from 30,000 to 58,000 while focusing on lean and sustainable operations, which is totally what we&#8217;re gonna talk about today. 
Very innovative person. She co-wrote one of my favorite books, which is &#8220;Tribal Leadership&#8221;. It&#8217;s actually one of the books that led me to want to open my own practice with a different type of leadership, and I still go back to it to this day. She&#8217;s named a top 100 health care leader and top 25 women in healthcare by &#8220;Modern Healthcare&#8221; and a 100 great leaders healthcare by &#8220;Becker&#8217;s Hospital Review&#8221;. So, lots of awards. She&#8217;s been on &#8220;Forbes&#8221; magazine and &#8220;Modern Healthcare&#8221;, and she&#8217;s been a speaker and a panelist at humongous regional and national events, so really honored to have her here today with us. Well, thanks for coming on. I&#8217;m so happy to have you, really excited to have this talk. How are you doing tonight?
