Envisioning the future of healthcare leadership

Healthcare reform is presenting unprecedented challenges and opportunities to Boards of Trustees and executive management teams. ‘Accountable care’ has become the linchpin of healthcare reform which will engender a new level of ‘system-ness’. Now is the time to build a platform from which to deliver an integrated system of care with high-quality clinical outcomes.

Steering your organization through this era of reform requires an executive team of leaders who have a complete set of skills, proficiency and experience in to address critical areas.

Your key human capital investment is in identifying and cultivating candidates for leadership - including physician leaders - who fit well and will drive the success of your organization.

As a healthcare executive leading your organization toward a system of accountable care, ask yourself the following questions: Does the leadership team need an infusion of new talent with different skills or capabilities? Do current leaders need to undergo intensive assessments to identify their skill and knowledge gaps in delivering accountable care? How can training and coaching resources be best utilized to maximize the potential of mid-level managers and build bench strength within the organization? And finally, do we need skilled assistance in objectively identifying talent from within and outside our organization who will share our vision, understand our culture and fit out team?

Whatever the answers to these questions, addressing them proactively will help you develop a strong pool of leadership talent within your management ranks build the leadership team of an accountable care organization.
