Health Care Reform: What Will it Mean for Medical Staff/Hospital Relationships
February 22, 2010 - 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. MST
90 Minutes with Live Questions and Answers
The prospect of health care reform has prompted many hospitals and medical staff members to consider closer alignment, affiliation, or integration. What will reform features such as shared responsibility for quality performance, bundled payments, broadened access to coverage, and curbs on "overuse" mean for these "clinical integration" efforts? What forms of alignment between hospitals and doctors are likely to succeed? Which will fail? Will you really achieve better alignment, or will you wind up just fighting at closer range? Join us for a hardhitting discussion of the pros and cons of various strategies for your practice, and your hospital, in responding to health care reform.

Managing Safety Crises: How the Best Boards, Executives, and Physician Leaders Respond to Never Events
March 22, 2010 - 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. MST
90 Minutes with Live Questions and Answers
You're a hospital executive, board member, or medical staff leader, and you've just been told of a major safety event that's occurred in your hospital. The event is going to be front page news. The risk management team and P.R. staff are assembling a response. How will you manage this crisis? What will you do about the patient and family? The press? The front line staff who were directly involved in the event? Yourself?
This webinar is a "must attend" for any health care executive, board member, or medical staff leader who wants to learn about managing a safety crisis. Jim Conway--former Chief Operating Officer of Dana Farber Cancer Institute--will describe the lessons learned from leaders of major health care systems who have taken their patients, staff, and organizations through the experience that none of you want to have, but for which all of us must be prepared.

DVD Series on the Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety
In this challenging economic climate, it is crucial to find an affordable way to educate the Board on how to oversee the quality and safety clinical care -- the core work of health care. This newly released DVD set, The Summit Series: The Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety is the answer -- for healthcare organizations of every size and type.
In a meticulously crafted set of 12 programs, governance and quality experts Jamie Orlikoff and Jim Reinertsen provide a superb resource to quickly impove the understanding and capability of the entire board, orient new board members, develop and improve the quality committee, and even "certify" the learning and growth of trustees -- whether your board oversees a critical access hospital, a major regional system, or a complex academic health center. The Board's Role in Quality and Patient Safety is also extremely helpful for medical staff leaders, particularly in their interaction with the board over quality of care issues.
The 12 programs are flexibly structured in 20-30 minute segments, with written guides for reflection and discussion, so that board members and other leaders can use these DVDs to learn:
- during education sessions at board meetings
- during committee meetings as a regular part of the agenda
- in board retreats and other group activities
- as individuals at home on their own time
The programs are divided into three sections to help board members:
- See the Problem.
- Own the Problem.
- Solve the Problem.
Affordable and critical education for your board; at your own location and at your convenience!
