Economics, changing expectations, advancing technology, and a new focus of quality and patient safety are all transforming healthcare and fueling an emphasis on payment reform. Demonstration projects are seeking to bundle payments to reward value and not volume. As a result, relationships within the healthcare community are significantly changing. These new relationships call for a special type of leadership to help move the hospital or health system into an era of providing value rather than producing volume.

In this publication, Joseph S. Bujak, M.D., FACP, explores the need for a new style of leadership where governance, administration, and physicians work together to overcome barriers to change and help transform the organization. This white paper seeks to define the context for change, describe the necessary leadership requisites to deal with this change successfully, and share insight into how best to navigate into a world of changed incentives, unending challenges, and accelerating change.
