The next generation of hospital and health system leaders will be innovators who can leverage technology for good, according to the American Hospital Association’s chief executive.
Here is AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack’s job description for the ideal healthcare leader in the coming years, per an Aug. 15 AHA article:
“Wanted: Bold, compassionate innovator who unites clinical excellence with strategic vision. Must be as comfortable at the patient’s bedside as you are in the boardroom, fluent in both human empathy and data analytics. Ability to harness technology as a force multiplier for safety and access; lead interdisciplinary teams; anticipate and adapt to local and global health challenges; and measure success not only in improved health outcomes but also in trust built in the communities served while working to advance health for all.”
