- Exactly Where He Wants To Be - MA/RI HFMA President Jeff Dykens (7/30/2011)
- What's so attractive about "a heck of a lot of work and responsibility for no pay"? These are the words used tongue-in-cheek by Jeffrey Dykens, president of the MA/RI Healthcare Financial Management Association chapter, to describe his new position. But if you ask him, he'll tell you he's exactly where he wants to be.
- A "How To" When Selecting Interim Healthcare Leaders (5/21/2011)
- The crucial factors to be considered when selecting a new interim healthcare executive depend upon the deliverables facing a hospital. Take a look at what the current challenges are, and assess what qualifications the candidate will need to bring to the table to help alleviate those pressing concerns. Cultural fit is also a key consideration. The candidate's personality and "way of doing things" have to mesh with the culture in which he/she will be placed.
- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists: Putting Us to Sleep, Nationwide (3/3/2011)
- Today, CRNAs administer approximately 32 million anesthetics annually to patients in the United States. It's not surprising that they have excelled in this highly specialized area. Their training and clinical expertise, combined with highly developed patient communication skills and a consideration of the patient's total care needs, provide them with a strong foundation for success.
- 2011: More Hospital Mergers and Acquisitions? (1/7/2011)
- After a decade-long downturn, hospital mergers and acquisitions (M&As) increased dramatically in 2010. Industry analysts believe that the uptick in activity is largely due to health care reform, as the new health law will extend coverage to an additional 32 million people, making much of the uncompensated care burden a non-issue.
- Board Diversity (11/19/2010)
- If your board does not reflect the makeup of your client population, it's possible that your hospital could be headed for some culturally insensitive blunders. To avoid this, smart organizations are diversifying the composition of their boards and using the new insights garnered to improve their business strategy.
- Accountable Care Organizations: Coming to a Healthcare Provider Near You? (10/1/2010)
- ACOs are designed to promote coordination of services. They reward providers when high-quality care is delivered at a reduced cost by paying them part of the monies saved. Instead of the traditional fee-for-service model, ACOs rely on newer reimbursement methods such as bundled payments, medical homes, gain sharing, and pay for performance. Also, in the typical ACO model, physician providers are employed by the hospital or health care organization.
