Educational Opportunities Abound With Fall Online Seminars
To successfully navigate the complex challenges of today’s healthcare environment, it is advantageous for leaders to cultivate skills in several key areas. This fall, a variety of online seminars are a click away to help executives stay abreast of the most relevant issues—from leveraging big data to understanding the nuances of physician alignment and engagement. Each six-week seminar is worth up to 9 ACHE Qualified Education credits.
This month, executives have three diverse learning opportunities, beginning tomorrow Sept. 4, with “Exceptional Leadership.” In this seminar, attendees will explore the 16 critical competencies that set great leaders apart from good leaders. The following week, consider “Big Data and Analytics: A Perspective for Healthcare Leaders,” where expert faculty will explain how to interpret, analyze, communicate and present data with confidence. At the end of the month, busy executives won’t want to miss “Health Law Essentials,” which will review key health law and compliance topics such as patient privacy and changes to the Affordable Care Act.
October also offers three online professional development opportunities. Leaders can gain practical tools for proven productivity-management solutions during “Superior Productivity in Healthcare Organizations,” or discover how to lead an effective strategic planning process for their organizations during “Strategic Planning That Works: Integrating Strategy With Performance.” Those who attend “Physician Alignment and Engagement: Dos and Taboos” will leave with tools for creating effective physician partnerships in their organizations and improving patient care.
Register today for a seminar that best fits your needs.

A Core Skill for CEOs: Converting Quality Metrics Into Financial Metrics
As healthcare evolves from pay for volume to pay for value, converting quality metrics into financial metrics is becoming a must-have skill. This October, join your C-suite peers in Coral Gables, Fla., for the CEO Circle Forum*, “Integrating Quality and Cost in a Pay-for Value Era,” and earn 12 ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits.

Register today to maximize your organization’s value.
*The CEO Circle Forum is for healthcare provider members of the CEO Circle, CEOs of healthcare provider organizations, and senior executives of healthcare units with profit and loss responsibilities.
Valuing Succession Planning and Leadership Development
Incorporating succession planning and leadership development programs into a large organization requires significant investment of time, resources and personnel. It is imperative that three key individuals are involved in the process: the visionary, the architect and the board advocate, write ACHE authors Stephen R. Mason, LFACHE; Kathryn G. Dies, PhD; and Larry Morgan, in their new book The Leaders Within: Engagement, Leadership Development, and Succession Planning.
In the first chapter, the authors outline why it is important that these three individuals have a clear understanding of the value of implementing succession planning and leadership development programs.
When healthcare leaders read this book, they will recognize which role they play and gain a deeper understanding of how their organizations can integrate leadership development and succession planning into their infrastructure.

Alliance Issues Organ Donation Guide
Organ, eye and tissue donation can be an infrequent but high-impact occurrence in community hospitals. To enhance collaboration between community hospitals and local organ procurement organizations, the Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance recently released the Community Hospital Resource Guide. The Alliance Donation Leadership Council developed the guide to increase awareness among hospital senior leaders of data measuring donation performance and provide essential education on donor management processes and practices.
The Alliance is the recognized leader within the organ donation and transplantation community dedicated to providing engaged learning, innovation and collaborative leadership for future advancements in organ donation and transplantation.
