Do Something Different. ‘Differently’ – Upcoming OPEN MINDS Elite-Member Web Briefing Tackles Profitability Squeeze Facing Provider Organizations

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 9, 2018) – On Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at 1:00pm ET, OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer, Monica E. Oss and Executive Senior Associate, Annie Medina, MBA, ACNP-BC, will lead the third OPEN MINDS Circle Elite webinar of 2018, “Using ‘Best Practice’ Models To Reinvent Health & Human Service Organizations For A Value-Based World.” This exclusive, members-only web briefing will focus on a best practice approach to assessing market options and developing a strategy for service line sustainability in a changing market.

“The strategic challenge for many organizations is sagging profitability of current service lines,” said Ms. Oss. “So what is the solution? For most organizations, in portfolio management speak, the answer revolves around finding that new cash cow – or core service(s) that will drive steady profits. But to find this, organizations need to do something different… ‘differently’. We’re looking forward to discussing this in more detail with our growing number of elite members.”

The web briefing will cover three key areas:

1. The market trends that are narrowing profit margins of traditional services
2. Issues in portfolio management – both extending the life of current services and finding the new “cash cow” service lines for on-going organizational sustainbility
3. The sustainability management process from strategy to building a healthy service line portfolio through adaptive standardization of current service lines, deliberate and continuous service line evolution, and on-going performance management
