Healthcare Negotiations Training

Almost everyone’s job requires negotiation, but very few people have received formal training to help them be successful. In healthcare negotiating a contract with a vendor, a payor, or a union can be challenging. Without practice and specific skills, your organization can suffer.

A proper healthcare negotiations training program should address the activities that must take place before any negotiation, the skills necessary to conduct a successful negotiation, and plenty of chances to practice. The best programs contextualize the training for the healthcare setting.

I learned so much from Dr. Bauman's 4-hour negotiations course that I saved my organization $60,000​ when I renegotiated a contract the following week. ​Dr. Bauman combines research-based skills building with interactive role play exercises in a way that is both fun and highly informative. I was disappointed when the course was over: I wanted more! I recommend this program for anyone responsible for negotiating on the part of their companies.
