Leadership Spotlight:
New Joint Commission CEO Shares Top Priorities
“Now is the time to actively work on establishing continuity between community public health and healthcare delivery,” says Jonathan B. Perlin, MD, PhD, the new president/CEO of The Joint Commission in a recent Q&A with the Journal of Healthcare Management. The need to improve health equity will be a priority in his new role, says Perlin, previously president of clinical operations and CMO at HCA Healthcare. Other issues he’ll focus on include the workforce and new models of care, and environmental sustainability and decarbonization.

Choice: ACHE’s Tailored Professional Development Program
With Choice, healthcare leaders can invest in professional and leadership development specific to their organization through ACHE education and faculty.
Although many of today’s hospitals and health systems face the same challenges, such as staffing shortages, retention and leadership turnover, each organization has its own opportunities for improvement. With Choice, ACHE’s tailored professional development program, healthcare leaders can choose from a variety of program formats and topic areas, including communication and relationship management, operations, and quality and safety. Available in person or virtually, expert faculty provide organizations with convenient, cost-effective education designed to meet the training needs of executive teams, as well as help cultivate the next generation of leaders. Choice programs provide the opportunity to earn ACHE Face-to-Face Education credit and other continuing education units. ACHE specialists and faculty will collaborate with leaders to develop the best type and duration of program to fit the requirements of an organization’s team, timetable and budget.

Measure Your Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Effectiveness
Career experts agree that EQ is a better predictor of career success than IQ, but many healthcare executives do not have a clear idea of how their emotional intelligence measures up. The Sept. 22 “Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Effectiveness Virtual Workshop” will use the results of a full assessment of your emotional intelligence quotient to guide you in building stronger relationships, enhancing self-awareness and achieving greater work-life balance. This workshop offers 2 ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits. Register today to craft strategies for creating an emotional intelligence execution plan.
