Deep dives
Decentralized Team Structure in Healthcare
Burtzog operates with self-managed teams of 10 to 12 people who are responsible for providing care within specific geographic areas. This decentralized structure allows teams to function independently, promoting efficiency and relationship-building within local communities. The model reduces administrative costs significantly, as only about 50 staff members support 16,000 clinical employees. By encouraging teams to remain small and focused on their neighborhood, Burtzog can deliver personalized care while achieving better health outcomes.
