With healthcare payment reform efforts intensifying, professional development of the medical staff within hospitals has never been more critical.  Effective physician leaders can benefit hospitals in many ways:  providing enhanced clinical governance for better quality/safety outcomes; ensuring bottom line growth from clinical process improvement that can be hardwired into operational performance gains; and improving morale among nurses and allied health professionals throughout the organization.  Join us at this comprehensive program where we’ll hear from the Advisory Board Company, a leading provider of performance improvement services to the healthcare and education sectors, on their nationwide project on this topic. We’ll also hear from the chief medical officer of McLeod Health System in South Carolina, which has a robust physician development program in place. Our program will conclude with an in-depth discussion among a group of Massachusetts physician leaders on the successes and challenges they have experienced while creating solid leadership programs for physicians in their organizations.
