Tupelo-based North Mississippi Health Services has promoted several senior leaders as part of a "systemness" reorganization that takes effect Oct. 1, said M. Shane Spees, the organization's president and CEO.
"We refer to these organizational changes as 'Systemness 2.0' as it represents restructuring of leadership to address the ongoing need to operate more as a system rather than as a collection of individual hospitals, clinics, outpatient facilities and nursing homes," Mr. Spees wrote in his announcement Sept. 21. "Future market demands driven by payers and consumers will require increasing levels of efficiency, productivity, agility, standardization and targeted growth; all of which will require greater coordination and leveraging of resources across the system. Our experience through COVID has demonstrated the tremendous value of systemness and this new organizational structure will allow us to leverage the momentum of systemness that has developed over the past two years."
