The Changing Health Care Landscape
These are turbulent times for our health care delivery system. State and federal governments are experiencing record deficits and are projecting significant cuts in Medicare and Medicaid. Private industry is pressuring insurers to develop additional strategies for minimizing health care premium increases. Hospitals are closing. Others are opting to merge, becoming part of larger health care systems. Existing systems are selectively growing or shrinking, as they close or divest facilities or redirect their mission.
Meeting the Challenge
Health care providers need experienced management teams to guide them through the changing health care landscape. The management talent pool available to deal with these challenges, however, is shrinking as many experienced health care leaders opt for early retirement. Management “turnaround” firms are thriving, but are increasingly unable to provide a sufficient team of experienced health care professionals to address the need. Traditional management consultants may lack real-world health care management experience.
