🌟 Insights from the Healthcare Leaders of New York (HLNY) 9th Annual Mini-Congress: “Back to the Basics – Adding Value at Every Step” The Tal Healthcare team had the privilege of attending this year’s HLNY Mini-Congress at the New York Academy of Medicine, an event packed with thought-provoking conversations about leadership, workforce innovation, and the future of patient care. Here are a few highlights that resonated with the team: 🩺 Maximizing the APP Workforce Advanced Practice Providers (NPs and PAs) want to work at the top of their license. When empowered to do so, they can greatly expand access to care and allow physicians to focus on more acute patients. The key is cultivating strong, collaborative relationships between physicians and APPs. They’re essential providers who deserve recognition, autonomy, and trust. 💬 Transforming the Patient Experience As one panelist said, “Every moment counts; the patient experience is their story.” Technology is helping make that story smoother: real-time information sharing, automated results, and online access to tools are giving patients more control. But the human touch still matters most. Agility, empathy, and authenticity are the new imperatives, seeing each patient as a person. AI can support this by handling administrative work so providers can truly listen. 💡 Leadership & Culture Fred Sganga’s keynote reminded us that “Culture is the organization’s personality, the reflection of its corporate soul.” Trust remains the foundation of every great healthcare organization. Transparency, humility, and courage are leadership essentials. Employees thrive when they’re given dignity, respect, and the tools to succeed. Pride, joy, and team spirit turn competence into excellence. Events like the HLNY Mini-Congress remind us that while healthcare evolves rapidly, its core remains constant: people, purpose, and trust. Thank you Valerie Anne Swatz, Nancy Izzo, Lisa Haimson, Donna Bozek, and Isabella Ramirez for these insights. We’re energized to bring this back to the organizations we serve every day. #HealthcareLeadership #HealthcareRecruiting #Leadership
