    Physician Services with Patrick Solomon

    Meet Patrick Solomon from Trinity Health Advisors. With more than 20 years in healthcare-focused executive search on the provider side of American healthcare, I have met very few people with Patrick’s breadth and depth of expertise, and problem-solving competency, in hospital-based physician services. Today, his perspectives, insights, and observations are highly sought after by health system leaders, physician executives, boards of directors, and private equity firms. Today, Patrick shares a few key takeaways from his career, the concepts, practices, and decisions contributing to his success. We learn about those who inspired Patrick and those who empowered him to drive solutions for impossible situations where no playbook exists, including creation of a critical care workforce multiplier to meet unforeseen healthcare demands in New York City at the beginning of COVID, which his organization was able to recreate and deploy nationally during a time of crisis. Delivering high-quality and economically-viable care in an environment where your team enjoys coming to work is a significant challenge for every senior executive in healthcare today. Hopefully, as you work to achieve and continuously improve this environment of productive collaboration and care, you will take something valuable from our conversation today.
