Implementation of healthcare reform and care for the uninsured were CEOs’ No. 2 and No. 3 concerns, respectively.
“Though financial challenges continue to top the list of healthcare CEOs’ chief concerns, not surprisingly, healthcare reform is also weighing heavily on CEO respondents’ minds, reaffirming their concern for many of the other top issues such as care for the uninsured
and quality of care,” Thomas C. Dolan, PhD, FACHE, CAE, president and CEO of ACHE said in the release.
Within financial challenges, Medicaid reimbursements, bad debts and Medicare reimbursements were leading concerns for the executives surveyed.
Patient safety and quality, governmental mandates and physician-hospital relations were other leading concerns for leaders.
