Chief Financial Officers (CFO2)
The Meetings
The Members formally convene two
times per year, spring and fall, for a two-day interactive session.
Participants identify the issues they want to explore and the experts
they want to hear from. A typical two-day Roundtable seminar will
feature 3-5 speakers (outside speakers and/or Members themselves)
making presentations on recent trends and innovative projects.
Issues may include topics such as:
What are the key components of Health Care Reform? How will each of the system's constituents be impacted?What
are organizations doing internally with their hospitals, externally
with the payor community, and politically within the states in response
to Health Care Reform?
What are the Members doing around Accountable Care Organizations?What are the Members doing around Value Based Purchasing?Managed care strategies, policing the payors, renegotiating
contracts with major payors who contribute large percentages of one’s
net revenue. Strategies used in physician employment decisions – criteria used
to determine which ones to hire and which ones to pass on –
compensation models, how are you bringing groups that have historically
competed together in one organization, etc.?Continuous improvement on the revenue cycle at all points in the system Financing the high cost of Information Technology, including EMR, and the continuing effort to optimize benefit against cost Where does everyone stand on meaningful use readiness? What kind of cost is being looked at to become compliant with meaningful use?What is happening with the RAC audit in your areas? What is everyone doing to control conditions on admission and re-admissions?
The participants also enjoy the cross-pollination of ideas during
Open Discussion sessions. Members are encouraged to present the
issues/problems they are currently facing so that fellow Members can
advise one another as peer consultants. During these interactive
discussions, Members share new innovations and projects-in-process
using a "grand rounds" format.
All Roundtable Meetings are
skillfully facilitated to avoid wandering discussions and to promote
productive dialogue and the efficient use of time spent "around the
table." The "think tank" approach of the Roundtable provides a very
high quality educational experience one cannot easily find elsewhere.
The Roundtable Dues, Attendance and Guest Policy Tuitions
at these meetings are covered by yearly membership dues. Meeting
attendance must be a high priority. A Member is strongly encouraged to
send an appropriate substitute in the event he or she is unable to
attend a scheduled Roundtable Meeting.
A Member may bring one guest to
any Meeting, particularly an individual who is considering membership.
Guest registrations are made in advance (at no additional
charge)--limited to four total per Roundtable Meeting.
In order to cover the
costs of the semi-annual meetings, including speaker fees, appropriate
research, and operating expenses, Members pay $2,995 for two
consecutive meetings.

“Roundtable membership has added tremendous value not only from a networking experience, but from a continuing education perspective. Due to the high quality of our membership, we get keynote worthy speakers to attend and present on an assortment of timely topics. Discussion by this smaller non-competitive (from a hospital competition perspective) roundtable always gives members more opportunities to get their own issues, questions and concerns to the floor!!!”
--Rick Sheerin, VP & CFO, Floyd Medical Center, Rome, GA
"
I feel that the networking and educational opportunities provided by my
membership in the Healthcare Roundtable for CFO's is one of the best
investment I make each year. I look forward to getting together with my
fellow CFO's during our semi-annual meetings and sharing experiences.
In addition, the ability to reach out to the membership throughout the
year for questions on current issues we all face, is an extra bonus."
--Jim McNey, CFO/Vice President of Finance, North Kansas City Hospital, North Kansas City, MO
"My participation as a member of CFO2 has been extremely useful. It is
an opportunity to hear about how CFOs are dealing with cutting edge
issues. Since those participating are not competitors, there is great
freedom in our discussions which allows me to pick up many helpful
ideas. The membership fee is a bargain given the information that I
obtain and the relationships I build."
--Doug Long, Partner, Hall Render, Indianapolis, IN
