Leadership in IPC is needed now more than ever. This session will explore advice on how to increase your effectiveness with your C-suite leaders by describing how IPC and the Triple Aim of Healthcare Reform interrelate. Participants will learn how to engage their C-suite to elevate the role of IPC in your facility.
This session is led by a health system CEO/COO, giving participants a first-person overview of how to be an effective leader in their organizations.
This session will include a discussion about:
• The major changes in healthcare reform and the impact on providers
• Macroeconomic drivers of the U.S. economy and of healthcare that are driving significant change
• What is health reform, and how has it transformed the landscape for U.S. healthcare
This session will also provide the Integrated Delivery Network/C-suite perspective with implications for Integrated Delivery Networks and their hospitals’ priorities along with Accountable Care Organizations—a deeper dive on how the integrated systems are responding at present. Lastly, this session will describe the implications for IPs, offering a checklist for effective strategies to elevate IPC initiatives to the C-suite to gain approval and buy-in.
