Three Must-Do’s for Children’s Hospital CEOs

With health care reform looming large…
1) You need to be able to change quickly – to pivot quickly - to capitalize on things before others can. I recommend you have a bunch of little experiments on simmer so that as you see a new future emerging, you can pivot more quickly than you could without the experiments. A portfolio of experiments might include different care delivery models, different technology, different relationships – bottom line, this experimental mind-set will allow you to move quickly.
2) Regardless of how health care reform plays out, you need to be more effective in the use of technology and information. Your world is rapidly moving to EMR, data mining, and your attention should be on how you can get better efficiencies out of the strategic use of information. That’s a variable you definitely need to develop more quickly, particularly as you think about the new parents of the future who raise their kids with computers and social media. How you use technology and information tomorrow will be dramatically different, not only for care delivery, but for everything you do.
3) You need to open yourself up to the outside world. Visualize how to develop deeper relationships across other children’s systems and potentially with other adult systems. You need to develop an ecosystem or network of partnerships around you so that you are not an island unto yourself. You will deploy the ecosystem differently depending upon how health care reform plays out.
