Healthcare IT Today: C-Suite & Leadership

In the United States, Hospital Corporate leaders are at the forefront of innovation and creativity. Whether this healthcare C-Suite has a clinical, research, or administration background, they make choices that will have a long-term influence on providers, patients, and policy. Many healthcare executives, unsurprisingly, have clinical histories as doctors, nurses, and other care professionals with first-hand medical expertise. However, a clinical career isn’t the only way to the top. Non-medical professionals with backgrounds in finance, technology, marketing, and governmental and non-governmental relations are also excellent additions to the executive team. The hospital C-suite leadership team faces a never-ending list of difficulties. They wrestle with the cost of care, access to health care, standards of healthcare, and information protection. Partnering with stakeholders ranging from doctors and nurses to executives and major shareholders, the C-Suite and leadership lead a collaborative process to essentially design the system. For them, the goal is to create an efficient, sustainable health system that prioritises care and efficiency.
