Aegis Health Group: Seven Tips for Hospitals to Enhance Physician Trust

  1. Listen to physicians and understand their frustrations. Honestly respond to their concerns – even if it’s not possible to immediately resolve the issue.
  2. Determine what each physician values, then show them what the hospital offers that coincides with their values.
  3. Communicate openly and provide support when appropriate.
  4. Provide opportunities for leadership and professional development.
  5. Give physicians an opportunity to contribute ideas. Involve them in decision-making and clinical service planning. Let them know they’re being heard; and whenever possible, implement those ideas.
  6. Don’t waste time with unproductive meetings or activities, and avoid physician-only committees. Establish combined physician and administration workgroups.
  7. Maintain integrity and keep promises.
