HealthLeaders Media today announced what's coming in its August issue of HealthLeaders magazine, the only publication created exclusively for healthcare executives.
FEATURE STORY: The Things All Great Hospitals Do
Great companies have a core belief in their product that pushes them to the top. Great sports teams are singularly focused on winning. Great universities have an unwavering dedication to learning and teaching and not much else. But what do great hospitals do? What are the core ingredients that combine to make a hospital one that is remarkable, outstanding or exceptional? In an industry rightfully obsessed with measurement and outcomes, HealthLeaders magazine pauses to look at the sometimes overlooked characteristics that lead to excellence.
Also in the August issue:
Recognition Overload--Hundreds of hospital listings rank providers on everything from clinical outcomes to financial measures. How can senior leaders separate the useful from the useless? HealthLeaders magazine examines the benefits of winning awards or appearing on “best of” lists.
Executive Benefits--The booming business of preventive medicine for the wealthy can yield both present and future rewards for a hospital. And it’s not just for the wealthy. HealthLeaders magazine takes a look at executive health programs, a small oasis in the turbulent waters of the hospital industry. As demand for individualized attention grows, hospitals that offer these programs are finding profits in preventive medicine.
Avoiding the (nearly) Inevitable--The hospital turnaround business is booming. The reasons why are as numerous as there are hospitals that hire turnaround artists. By the time many boards realize they’re not getting the straight talk about how well they’re doing financially from their chief executive officer or chief financial officer, it’s too late. HealthLeaders magazine reports that often spells the end of the line for those administrators, thrusting boards into the unfamiliar territory of finding a temporary administrator who will be honest with them.
Going Green--Not only are hospitals major energy consumers, they produce inordinate amounts of waste, much of which winds up in a landfill or at the incinerator. HealthLeaders magazine investigates how technology plays a major role in helping hospitals maintain environmental stewardship.
