A Message From Your
ACHE of Massachusetts President
Dear Colleagues,
It continues to be a very active time for the Massachusetts chapter of ACHE. The summer began with our annual awards ceremony at the June Massachusetts Hospital Association Annual Meeting at the Chatham Bars Inn. - John Christoforo, FACHE, President and CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess HealthCare was honored as 2015 Senior Healthcare Executive of the year.
- Dee Dee Chen, FACHE, Professional Staff Benefits Manager of Massachusetts General Hospital was honored for the Early Careerist Healthcare Executive award.
Details of the award ceremony can be found in our Regent's notes below. Thanks to Richard Corder our Regent for organizing and presenting at this yearly ceremony. One of the chapter's themes this year is "Doing more with more." We have a very ambitious 3 year strategic plan. We will keep you posted on progress of the plan, which will be monitored through the dashboard. The ability to get all this work done is a result of committed volunteers, and this just got stronger. Many members have defined value in ACHE membership as, "Being able to contribute through volunteering." Thanks to the efforts of Donna Powell, Tay Bozkurt and Jack Bailey a new "Get Involved" section is available on our website. Volunteer Coordinator Kern Kumar, in a newly created role, makes connecting members with opportunities easier. Don't forget to participate in the Mentorship Program; whether you're seeking a mentor or the experience of being a mentor it's time to register! Get inspired by watching the video promoting the benefits of mentorship. Finally, the board is seeking senior level leaders to join the board for the coming term beginning in January 2016. Please contact me if you have any interest in joining this engaging group! Enjoy the beautiful Autumn, and we hope to see you at our October 29th Fall Conference!
Best regards,
Karen O. Moore RN, MS, FACHE ACHE of MA President |

Turning Referral Leakage into
Patient "Keepage"
Patient Outmigration or what is commonly referred to as patient leakage is on the minds of most health system executives. They wonder why their patients seek care elsewhere, especially after they have spent millions of dollars attracting them through ad campaigns, the purchase of high-profile equipment and investing in employed medical groups that lose money in operational isolation. Perhaps we should reconsider our use of the term "referral leakage." "Referral leakage" implies that patients are somehow confined.

Early Careerist Network (ECN)
Hello from the ECN Leadership Council, It's hard to believe summer is coming to an end, but the ECN has kept its efforts up all summer long! Thanks to those who were able to join us at our networking events at Central Wharf Co in June and the Red Sox game in August. Our civic engagement efforts continue to be popular as our last two events with the Greater Boston Food Bank have filled to capacity! |

Additionally, the education panel series continues to feature current topics with leaders from around the Baystate. Our July discussion focused on Transitioning Aggregated Physician Practices to High-Performing Clinical Enterprise, an occurrence that seems somewhat ubiquitous in today's changing healthcare landscape. We were fortunate enough to have outstanding panelists. Some of the most exciting news upon us as we approach the fall is the kickoff of this year's Mentorship Program! We have revamped our application process and developed a video of past mentors and mentees discussing the value they received from our Mentorship Program. We hope this provides a deeper, personal view of how meaningful mentorship is to both early careerists and senior leaders. Please visit our mentorship home page to learn more about the program and enroll. Applications are due by 5pm on Friday, September 18th. Don't get left out and sign up now! All our programs are planned and organized by a dedicated group of young healthcare professionals looking to advance the state of healthcare today. If you're looking for new ways to be engaged, we're always searching for new people to join our ECN Leadership Council. Please visit our new Volunteer Opportunities page for more information, or if you're ready to jump in immediately, you can complete our Volunteer Form. We hope you'll be able to join us at one of our upcoming events. Details will be forthcoming on our fall Education Panel and Networking events. Thanks again to the awesome team that makes this all happen! Taylan Bozkurt, Massachusetts General Hospital Vice-Chair, Early Careerist Network

Diversity
Diversity is one of the core values that the ACHE of Massachusetts is committed to. Increasing and sustaining diversity of healthcare management is integrated with our new strategic plan and we encourage all members to be familiar with the ACHE Statement on Diversity. Participation among diverse leaders and staff can serve as a catalyst for improved decision making, increase productivity and create a competitive advantage, improving the quality of an organization's workforce. It also aligns with our moral compass in healthcare. To understand where we're at as in industry, please take a look at the Institute on Diversity in Healthcare Management's State of Healthcare Diversity and Disparities Benchmarking Study. Your voice matters and we would love to hear from our members about diversity efforts we can highlight in future newsletters here. |
