Publisher's Letter: January 2013

January 2013 Issue; 2013 Annual Meeting
January issue. The January issue of Becker’s Hospital Review is our first issue since transitioning the magazine to monthly distribution, up from nine times per year. We hope you find receiving Becker’s Hospital Review more frequently provides you with timelier access to our top best-in-practice features and guidance. The January issue includes an overview of key concerns healthcare leaders are likely to face in the year ahead; all three cover stories share guidance on the most pressing challenges and opportunities for 2013 — be they legal, strategic or financial.

The issue also has a special focus on leadership and, separately, hospitalphysician relationships and accountable care organizations. The issue contains our annual list of “50 of the Most Powerful People in Healthcare” as well as our list of “100 Hospitals With Great Heart Programs.” Another can’t-miss is Former Modern Healthcare Publisher Chuck Lauer’s take on “10 Traits of True Leadership.” The issue also explores the “7 Components of a Clinical Integration Network” as well as how various for-profit hospital operators are approaching ACOs in addition to many other articles that we hope you find helpful as they relate hospital operations and strategy.

4th Annual Becker’s Hospital Review Meeting. The 4th Annual Becker’s Hospital Review Meeting will take place on May 9-11, 2013, in Chicago at the Westin Michigan Avenue Hotel. Due to the positive reaction to the event in its previous years, we have expanded the 2013 event to a two-and-a-half day affair with even more speakers and panels. Keynote speakers include Lou Holtz, former college football coach, active sportscaster and author, and Patrick Lencioni, founder and president of The Table Group and author of ten best-selling books including “The Five Dysfunctions of a Team.” Bret Baier of Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” will also headline the event, serving as moderator for the meeting’s keynote panels.
