Center for Healthcare Governance

Winter Symposium 2015

Overview

The Center for Healthcare Governance presents its winter Symposium on leading and governing health care organizations. In this three-day program, trustees and executive leadership will gain insights into the trends that are transforming the delivery system and learn strategies and tools for navigating an increasingly complex environment.

In plenary sessions, industry experts will offer analyses of the contextual issues framing the health care environment – from the strategic questions central to transformation of the delivery system and managing the health of a population, to the efforts of leaders to provide safe, equitable patient-centered care, and critical imperatives for payment system reform and clinical integration. In small group interactive sessions, we’ll focus on innovative approaches for honing governance decision making and engagement, and explore emerging responsibilities for boards to oversee physician compensation and leverage affiliations for improved performance.

Consider arriving early to enjoy all that Phoenix has to offer and register for the pre-conference workshop on Sunday, February 22. This practical session will focus on the AHA’s January 2015 leadership toolkit report on how to redefine the hospital of the future through strong governance structures and practices, and community engagement. You’ll get more out of your Symposium experience with the in-depth education that this workshop offers. Separate pre-registration is required.

Ample time will be provided for sharing, asking questions and seeking guidance from our top governance experts and your peers. By attending the Symposium, the leaders of your organization will acquire the new knowledge and skills to manage the complexities of health care transformation. You will learn to ask the tough questions, gain valuable insights on how to get the most from your leadership teams, and build new levels of commitment.
