In today's ever-changing healthcare environment, trustees can't afford to be reactive. Leading an organization is an active, proactive and interactive pursuit, requiring an understanding of complex issues. That's why a commitment to ongoing education has become a strategic imperative for governing boards.
Education gives trustees a leadership edge, sharpening their decision-making skills and readiness to tackle issues as they emerge.
Any successful educational endeavor demands a shared responsibility around the boardroom table. Individual board members must accept a personal obligation to learning, while chairmen and CEOs must work in tandem to deliver an educational agenda that meets the needs of both board members and the institution itself.
This 14-minute audiotape is designed to help individual board members, board chairs and hospital CEOs strengthen their own commitment to learning. It provides more than a dozen ways to create a "learning organization."
Lending an insider's perspective to it all is Robert Wise, CEO of Hunterdon Medical Center in New Jersey, who shares his organization's experiences in developing a trustee education program that uses the hospital's strategic plan as guidance and sets high standards for continual learning for all trustees. |

This Glossary, a project of the NJHA Council on Hospital Governance, is designed as an easy-to-use desktop reference and will familiarize its users with the language of healthcare. It serves as a quick read of commonly used healthcare terms and abbreviations and aids in understanding the meaning of today's most pressing healthcare issues. While primarily intended for members of hospital governance boards, it will be of value to anyone involved in healthcare.
Users of the Glossary will find words and terms dealing with medicine, finance, insurance and the computer world. It is not an all-inclusive healthcare dictionary, but rather a glossary of words, terms and abbreviations commonly used by professionals involved in New Jersey's hospital and healthcare industry.
The first sections of the Glossary include definitions of words and terms, defined within the context of healthcare delivery. Any commonly used abbreviations or acronyms for the words and terms are provided. A list of frequently used general healthcare abbreviations followed by a listing of organization acronyms comprises the second section.

Healthcare is the most politically charged, volatile, erratic industry in America today. Take a look at how the healthcare industry has changed and how these changes have radically altered the role of the trustee and traditional definition of healthcare.
What are individual trustee responsibilities? What are the board's? Examine the board's legal and fiduciary responsibilities and the strategic role of standing board committees.
Learning for the New Millennium guides trustees through the evolution of healthcare governance and how this evolution is reflected in individual and full board responsibilities, board and committee structures and board operations. Produced in an easily readable format, Learning for the New Millennium is a resource for every hospital and healthcare system trustee.
- "Case Examples" illuminate critical points. "Points to Ponder" brings the information to the trustee's own hospital world and can be used as a checklist to assess trustee understanding of healthcare issues and board practices. Points to Ponder can also be used to facilitate trustee discussion.
- Each section includes recommended readings to further one's knowledge in the specific area.
- The glossary provides terminology commonly used by professionals involved in the hospital and healthcare industry. It has been designed to help trustees navigate through terms related to medicine, finance and insurance.
As the cornerstone for trustee education, Learning for the New Millennium leads readers to the Trustee Institute's other resources, including the Institute's World Wide Web and audio- and videotapes that complement the material found in the guide. |

Serving on the board of a hospital or healthcare system is no small job. The rapid-fire pace of changes in the healthcare industry requires trustees to stay in tune and informed to make the right decisions for their institution -- and their community.
Meeting the Governance Challenge: A Guide for Hospital and Healthcare System Trustees aims to help trustees make those important decisions. This video, developed by the New Jersey Hospital Association and the Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey, is part of the Trustee Institute, a classroom without walls where trustees can learn at their own pace, on their own schedule.
This 21 1/2-minute video offers a fast-paced exchange of ideas with industry experts and trustee leaders offering their insights into the decision-making process. It uses as a framework an issue confronting many boards today -- should they merge, affiliate, consolidate or close their doors? -- but the discussion will be of significant value as you address any issue facing your board. |

Managed care. Capitation. Federal and state budget cuts.
The challenges confronting hospital governing boards are relentless. Yet through it all, community hospitals must remain committed to their mission of caring and serving. The biggest challenge may be striking the right balance between that community mission and the realities of today's marketplace.
For Herbert Dooskin, Clifford Michel and Bartholomew Sheehan -- experienced trustee leaders at three New Jersey hospitals -- the solution was a bold plan that required them to give up local control and consolidate three distinctive communities and three sets of institutional values into a single collaborative venture. It was an 18-month process of community education, intense internal communication, governance consolidation and cultural adjustments. What emerged in the end was the Atlantic Health System, a new healthcare entity that preserved its community mission while strengthening its financial position.
Their solution may not be the answer for all institutions, but the lessons learned in the Atlantic experience will prove valuable to all hospital and healthcare system boards. In this 14-minute audiotape, Dooskin, Michel and Sheehan offer a trustee's point of view -- and raise some thought-provoking questions -- on your mission, your marketplace, your role. |

Public perception of the healthcare industry is, at its best, in guarded condition. Confusing, unfriendly, shrinking access and growing costs are just a few examples of how the public describes today's healthcare industry. What is driving these perceptions? And what is your role as a hospital or health system trustee in shaping public perception?
Carolyn Boone Lewis, a veteran trustee at the Greater Southeast Healthcare System in Washington, D.C., knows firsthand the challenge of dealing with public perception. In this 16 minute audiotape, she talks about the problems facing today's trustees, provides some valuable advice and raises some thought-provoking questions to take back to the board room.
Lewis sheds some light on the importance of matching the mission to the message, discusses the trustees' role in advocacy and influencing public policy and offers some key strategies important to a board when dealing with public perception issues. She shares some personal experiences and describes successful initiatives at the Greater Southeast Healthcare System.
Lewis has been a member of both the hospital and foundation boards at the Greater Southeast Healthcare System for more than 20 years. She is a member of the American Hospital Association's Board of Trustees and serves on the Board of Directors for AHA's Hospital Research and Educational Trust. |

On The Road To Managed Care

Managed care is affecting and transforming every hospital and health system. In just a few short years, this trend has fueled an all-out race — to forge alliances and gain, or at least maintain, market share. What once was a seller’s market has become a buyer’s market, and trustees are faced with the challenge of keeping up with the constant changes.
On the Road to Managed Care explores several important factors that healthcare trustees must be aware of in defining their role and helping their institution succeed in the managed care environment. This video defines managed care, introduces a number of terms that are fast becoming part of today’s healthcare reality and discusses four critical areas of management, marketing, network and money that every trustee needs to consider regardless of where the hospital or system is heading.
You’ll hear from managed care consultant Brad Engle of William M. Mercer, Inc., Dr. Henry Miller, a hospital trustee and president of the Center for Health Policy Studies and Christopher Dadlez, executive vice president of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System. |

Managed care is squeezing the bottom line. Prioritizing funds has become a make-or-break decision. And the future may hinge on your next strategic move. As a leader in a hospital or healthcare system, you’re responsible for drawing up a solid blueprint for your institution’s future. And now, more than ever before, the physician perspective is a critical part of that master design.
So says CEO George Lynn and Board Chairman Dr. John Baker of Atlantic City Medical Center in New Jersey. For more than a decade Atlantic City Medical Center has welcomed its physicians across the threshold from the patient floor to the boardroom. The results have been a board that
recognizes the broad perspective, that learns from its members and tackles its problems with a spirit of cooperation.
In this 14-minute audiotape, Lynn and Baker share their insight into the vital role physician trustees play in a sound governance structure. Board members will hear valuable firsthand advice on how to work together to make the right decisions for their institution. They’ll also benefit from suggestions for navigating potential conflicts and other stumbling blocks. It’s practical advice for all trustees committed to a healthier institution and community. |

Healthcare,” says Futurist Jeff Goldsmith, “is the most intimate of all human services.” Which is why the healthcare industry — and healthcare boards — are increasingly held accountable. But what is accountability and to whom are hospital and healthcare system boards accountable?
Trustee Accountability: Meeting the Challenge, looks at accountability, defines it in simple terms and clarifies to whom and what trustees are accountable. It focuses on four specific entities to whom hospital trustees are accountable —to patients, to entire communities, to state and federal regulatory agencies and to the hospital and board on which they serve.
In this 14 minute video you will learn why accountability is critical to an institution's viability and how understanding accountability can successfully guide the actions of your board and those who serve on it. |
