The Meetings
The Members formally convene two
times per year, spring and fall, for an interactive session.
Participants identify the issues they want to explore and the experts
they want to hear from. A typical Roundtable Meeting will
feature 2-3 speakers (outside speakers and/or Members themselves) making
presentations on recent trends and innovative projects.
Issues may include topics such as:
Traditionally, most physician CEOs in the US serve as heads of academic medical centers/organizations. In the past five years, we have seen a striking increase in the numbers of physician CEOs leading non-academic hospitals and health systems. What are the implications of this trend, and will it continue?
Many boards recognize that the best way to keep physicians "happy" in times of crisis is to make one of them "the boss." Do you agree with this statement? If so, to what extent might this be a factor in your case - and has it changed since you took the position?
No matter what shape health reform takes, physicians and acute care entities will have closer relationships. What does this forebode for your role as a physician CEO?
How did you develop your business knowledge and expertise - and how do you maintain it?
What is the predominant "hat" that you wear - a physician hat or an administrative hat - and what is the difference, if any?
How do you deal with physicians who believe you have "turned to the dark side" (perhaps along with the VPMA)?
What role do you play in the medical executive committee?To what extent is it possible/feasible/desirable to maintain some clinical practice?How is the role of the VPMA/CMO impacted when the CEO is a physician?How does the role of the physician CEO change when the majority of the medical staff are fully integrated (employed)?
The
participants also enjoy the cross-pollination of ideas during "Hot
Topic" sessions. Members are encouraged to present the issues/problems
they are 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.
