James Orlikoff, M.A., President, Orlikoff & Associates

The quality of governance that was sufficient to get healthcare organizations where they are today will be insufficient to get them where they will need to be tomorrow. Healthcare executives and board leaders note the growing difficulty in recruiting qualified board members and the increasing burnout among experienced board members. A rapidly changing and evermore challenging healthcare environment; the growing burden of regulatory requirements placed on healthcare boards; and the growing complexity of governance structure and function itself, especially in increasingly large healthcare systems, are issues behind these reports. During this workshop, Mr. Orlikoff will discuss principles of best governance practices of the past and how to evolve the concepts to better align with current events and leadership models.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Describe past and current principles of best governance practice
• Provide strategies for redesigning leadership models to better align with current trends
• Describe different approaches to increasing the quality of their governance and leadership
