    Hospital CEOs

    September 19th, 2005

    The hospital CEO position is probably one of the toughest positions in healthcare, and maybe anywhere. As passionate as I am about healthcare, I honestly do not aspire to this spot.

    A few weeks ago, I highlighted the CEO of Detroit Medical Center, who has aggressively turned his hospital around.

    A couple of recent hospital CEO interviews in the press recently. Here's one with Desert Springs Hospital CEO, Sandy Kaufman, who talks about the success of their partnerships and service line expansions.

    Here's one with Lawrence Hospital CEO, Edward Dinan, who talks about his faith and his "best practices" in hope.

    Last year, ACHE put out a very interesting piece (PDF) on CEO/CNO relationships, based on a survey of 1,000 CEOs and 776 CNOs. Among the findings: CEO/CNO relationships are good and CNOs get a lot less board exposure than CFOs.

    Also from ACHE, they have been tracking hospital CEO turnover for almost 15 years - the avg turnover for the last 4 or 5 years: ~15% (1 in 7 or 8 hospitals changes CEOs every year!). New on the ACHE site is CEO turnover by state. The highest: Nevada (33%). The lowest: New Hampshire (3%). Strange that there is such a high variance - if you assume that these rates correlate with financial performance, one would speculate that state policy has a big impact on hospital performance?

    And finally, since the Modern Healthcare survey on hospital CEO pay, as expected there has been some of criticism and defense. Some of that fun in Pittsburgh and Georgia (pdf).

    5 Most Dangerous Trends Facing Local Hospitals

    HOUSTON, TX---American Art Resources (AAR) today announced they underwrote a Fortune 500 research report for the Hospital CEO Forum. The report entitled “the 5 Most Dangerous Trends Facing Hospitals” has one of the most innovative solutions to the coming acceleration in America’s growing hospital crisis.

    The shocking results from this investigation discovered that Americas hospitals are in trouble.
    Experts predict an estimated shortage of 150,000-200,000 beds nationwide by 2012 because of profitability issues. (Source: J.D. Powers, JHACO, Hospital & Health Networks, M.T.I.B)

    The 5 Most Dangerous Trends are:

    1) Bottom line performance is not improving
    Efficiency and cost cutting policies are not working. While hospitals have been going out of business at a rate of one hospital every 8 days for the last 30 years, the bankruptcy trend has started to accelerate in 2005.

    2) Cutthroat competition to our medical centers include medical tourism.
    Medicare and Medicaid recent reimbursement reductions have made it harder for medical centers to survive. Competition from diagnostic testing facilities, ambulatory surgery centers and specialty hospitals are growing at record rates. India has recently become an early threat with two (2) hospitals that have been approved by the JHACO.

    3) Public is losing confidence in our hospitals.
    35% of patients indicate a likelihood of not returning to the same hospital. 41% wouldn't recommend a hospital to their family.

    4) Staff satisfaction is low
    Nursing shortage of more than 1 million nurses as well as significant shortages in pharmacists, lab technicians, and other technical employees are expected by 2010. The hospital working environment is a key contributor to the 20% average burnout and staff turnover.

    5) Lawsuits are on the rise
    Medical malpractice has grown at an annual rate 30% faster than for all U.S. tort cases. The average malpractice settlement more than tripled from $95,000 in 1986 to $320,000 in 2002.

    The Hospital CEO Forum was created to improve on the education model that teaches hospital executives how to survive in a tough economy, improve patient outcomes, mitigate staff stress, reduce medical errors and improve bottom lines.

    Nola, I think you could pretty much study anything in college, but economics, business, finance, or any other major that is both people-oriented and analytical in nature would be good. the key really is what you do after college. I would encourage you to consider an MHA or MBA.

    many promises made -none delivered. Many positions-:"Re-engineered", but now there are no replacements. No leadership in place, so---then what? They want to provide interim leadership too !!

    The33% for Nevada and 3% for New Hampshire is really a significant for hospital CEO turnover. I am presently researching the effects of managed care , specifically in the Medicare/Medicaid arena for these regions hoping to find critical factors. Stay Tuned.

    There is a Canadian Company that has state of the art software that improves the Emergency Room Wait Times and in 1 hospital alone is saving them 20,000 ALC days/year. They also have Infection Control Management software that has had a dramatic savings in productivity with the Infection Control Practitioners. Amazing technology and it saves lives

    I working on the above website to help members of the medical community find the best equipment for their needs. I will be conducting survey's on various equipment, testing various devices, and publishing the results. This will help in the purchasing process and will help supplement in house resources, and will hopefully help replace the need for expensive consultants.

    Safety Tip

    Hospital facilities built today do not include asbestos, but many older buildings still have asbestos components in them. Steam pipes, boilers and furnace ducts were often insulated with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape because of their fireproof and insulating properties. Resilient floor tiles were made from vinyl asbestos. Asbestos cement was employed in roofing, shingles and siding materials. The hazard of this carcinogen increases when the fibers become airborne, and untrained contractors can inadvertently increase risks by cutting, tearing, sawing, scraping, or sanding asbestos materials. Elevated asbestos levels can occur in hospitals where old materials are damaged or disturbed. It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Inhaling asbestos fibers is known to cause mesothelioma and other diseases. Be sure to use an experienced asbestos removal contractor when you need to get rid of old materials that might contain asbestos.
