Program Spotlight: Podcast: Catalyzing Healthcare Innovation
In this Healthcare Executive podcast with visionary entrepreneur Indu Subaiya, MD, she discusses the future of health data, and how sharing ideas can foster progress. A leader in healthcare technology innovation, Subaiya shares insights on how hospital and health system leaders can identify and influence innovation within their own organizations.
Subaiya will be presenting the Arthur C. Bachmeyer Memorial Address at this year’s Congress on Healthcare Leadership on the topic “Tech Innovation and Disruption in the Healthcare Ecosystem.” If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the 2020 Congress offerings and register by visiting ache.org/Congress.

ACHE Policy Statements Updated
The Board of Governors approved at its November meeting in Chicago changes to six existing ACHE Policy Statements and one Ethical Policy Statement suggested by subject matter experts to the Board Policy Committee. The committee revised statements to reflect updates to data, terminology and language; to incorporate contemporary solutions and current, real-life healthcare management experience; and to clarify ACHE’s position in certain policy positions and to ensure they reflect ACHE’s values. The following statements were updated:
- “Adopting a Systematic Approach to Bringing Healthcare Executives Into a New Position or Organization”
- “Appropriate Preparation for Healthcare Executive Management Positions for All New Entrants to the Field”
- “Decisions Near the End of Life” (Ethics Policy Statement)
- “Organ/Tissue/Blood/Blood Stem Cells Donation Process”
- “Responsibility for Mentoring”
- “The Role of the Healthcare Executive in a Change in Organizational Ownership or Control”
- “Strengthening Healthcare Employment Opportunities for Persons With Disabilities”
Policy Statements can be found at ache.org/PolicyStatements, and Ethics Policy Statements at ache.org/EthicsPolicyStatements.
Being Strategic on Innovation
Although hospitals and health systems are understandably risk averse, being innovative can take organizations to the next level without disrupting day-to-day operations. In the January/February issue of Healthcare Executive, we explore how healthcare organizations are stepping outside the status quo to make improvements.
In our cover story, “Creating a Culture of Innovation: Instilling a Spirit of Creative Problem Solving,” we highlight three organizations whose leadership is helping to develop “creativity muscles,” which will lead to breakthroughs of all shapes and sizes.
The second feature, “Getting to True Innovation: Moving the Next Idea Forward,” examines how hospital and health system leaders can use courage and fortitude to turn a vision for innovation into disruptive positive change.
Also, don’t miss “Harnessing the Power of Technology to Change the World”—a Q&A with Mick Ebeling, founder and CEO, Not Impossible Labs, and a preview of the 2020 Congress on Healthcare Leadership. Ebeling will deliver the Parker B. Francis Distinguished Lecture at the Opening Session of the 2020 Congress.

It Isn’t Too Early to Recertify Your FACHE® Credential
If you are board certified in healthcare management as an ACHE Fellow, why not give yourself a head start on the recertification process? Fellows are required to recertify their credential every three years.
Fellows whose credential is set expire in 2020 can stay on track to recertify in three easy steps:
- Completing continuing education activities or retaking and passing the Board of Governors Exam.
- Completing four volunteer activities.
- Paying the recertification fee of $200 when you submit your recertification application.
You can learn more about the recertification process by visiting ache.org/FACHE and selecting the Recertification button from the menu.
Additionally, if you are over the age of 60 and will retire within the next five years, you may be eligible for a one-time only five-year recertification waiver. For more information, please contact Customer Service at (312) 424-9400 or contact@ache.org.
