Episode: Care Transformation in Action: Kootenai Health's Success Story
Description: Cardiovascular programs often evolve over time — but without intentional structure, silos can form, creating operational and strategic challenges. In this episode, Joel Sauer, MBA, executive vice president of consulting at MedAxiom, is joined by Kootenai Health’s Kevin Kavanaugh, MD, cardiologist, and Rhonda Powell, MBA, CNMT, executive director of the cardiovascular division. They discuss their journey to formalize dyad leadership and unify inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular operations. They share how MedAxiom supported this transformation through a comprehensive assessment and strategic guidance to build a cardiovascular institute structure tailored to their organization.
