The Healthcare CEO & Board Chair Exchange is a valuable new program for CEOs and Board Chairs to address industry challenges and solve them together.
The environment for hospitals and health systems is undergoing unprecedented change – challenging even the most well positioned health providers to navigate through change and lead with innovation and disruption. This rapidly changing landscape demands continuous evaluation of strategy – refining and possibly even radically changing the strategy.
This changing environment also creates complex governance and management risks that could have serious adverse consequences if not handled appropriately. To lead effectively in this environment, it is more important than ever that the CEO & Board Chair have a shared understanding of these disruptive risks, be highly unified in strategy, partner on critical decisions, and together move quickly to equip the Board to make the right strategic decisions.
How the Exchange Works
Two one-day sessions per year for peer exchange among the CEOs and Board Chairs of participants who come together to be briefed by industry experts and to build solutions to their current business and governance issues
Focus is on key trends and tipping points such as clinical innovation, culture, technology, health policy and regulation, payments and financial performance, workforce dynamics, capital access, emerging governance issues and more
An exclusive, private website where participants can dialogue with each other and experts and have access to case studies, governance best practices, presentations/white papers for distributions to board members, and more
Periodic webinars and podcasts addressing “hot topics”
