Center 2007 Fall Symposium
NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GOVERNING
AND LEADING HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS
Leading for Improved Performance: Practical Strategies and Tools for Boards
 September 30-October 3, 2007
InterContinental Mark Hopkins - San Francisco, CA
Overview:
The Center for Healthcare Governance presents its fall Symposium on governing and leading health care organizations. In this three-day program at San Francisco’s elegant and historic InterContinental Mark Hopkins, trustees and executive leadership will gain insights into the strategies, tools and practices that will enable them to lead their organizations to exceptional performance.
In plenary sessions, industry experts will offer analyses of the contextual issues framing the current health care environment—from a shifting economy and changing demographics that are shrinking the pool of talented workers, to rising expectations for transparency and accountability, and new demands on leadership. In small group, interactive sessions, we’ll analyze emerging models and innovative strategies for reshaping governance responsibilities and processes so that the board brings real value to the organization. Special attention will be paid to proven practices for strengthening board performance, optimizing board/CEO relations, and resolving board conflict.
The program also features high-level case study presentations by the nationally recognized leaders of several exceptional hospitals and health systems. In these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to follow the journeys that these organizations have undertaken to achieve excellence in quality, governance, and physician engagement. Your board will enhance its capacity to oversee quality and strategy development, and gain insights into its role as an influential and trusted advocate, well-prepared to connect with your community. Interactive afternoon sessions on Tuesday, October 2nd offer attendees additional opportunities to ask questions and discuss the most critical challenges facing their organizations.
