Achieving Influential Leadership

As leaders, we must ask ourselves: How can improving my performance catalyze improvement in my organization? Health Administration Press author and ACHE faculty Michael E. Frisina, PhD, CEO of The Frisina Group, thoroughly addresses these important questions, and more, in his book Influential Leadership: Change Your Behavior, Change Your Organization, Change Health Care.

To learn more, download the Table of Contents or review an excerpt from the book.

Highlights From the 2019 Fellows Seminar

More than 30 ACHE Fellows gathered last month in Naples, Fla., during the 2019 Fellows Seminar to enjoy timely, interactive content designed exclusively for them.

Participants could choose from one of two seminars that best supported their career development needs. Those who attended “Improving the Patient Experience to Build Customer Loyalty” said they appreciated the small class size and real-world application of the topic and examples from healthcare organizations that are doing well with patient experience

Those who attended one of our newest seminars, “Solving the Enigma of Medical Group Performance: Methods to Identify and Add Meaningful Value,” explored how to work more closely with physicians by including them in operational decisions.

Mark your calendars to join your FACHE peers at the 2020 Fellows Seminar, May 7–8, 2020, at Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island, S.C.
