Hospitals have been caught up in a sweeping trend of consolidation\, and there has been much debate over whether consolidation in the healthcare sector will help or hurt patients\, with many arguing that fewer hospitals will lead to higher prices and inferior care. Others argue the exact opposite. \nThe forces driving change are varied\, as are the approaches hospitals are taking to adapt. One of the clearest consequences of change is the recent surge in merger and acquisition activity. As leaders in the healthcare industry\, executives must be prepared to lead their organizations\, employees\, and communities through this transition. \nIn this session\, panelists will share insights and experiences on mergers and acquisitions\, including the legal\, operational\, and tactical aspects of a merger. \nSome of the topics covered include: \n\nWhat style of leadership do you feel has worked best when leading staff through mergers and acquisitions?\nHow do you feel consolidation is improving healthcare delivery?\nHow did you address consolidation with your employees and physicians?\nWhat advice do you have for new healthcare executives who may soon face a merger? What can they do to prepare?\n\nModerator: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Our April 16 program will be held at Maggiano’s in Buckhead. \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n Networking TimeRegistration opens at 11:30 AM\, and we will have 30 minutes of networking time before and after the program\, with plenty of time for questions and answers during the program.

Often\, a new leader does not understand the specific requirements of the job or organizational culture that allows them to immediately succeed. \nSuccessful onboarding in a new job or role within a healthcare organization requires a well-thought-out plan and execution of the plan. The execution of the onboarding plan is not the sole job of human resources or an immediate supervisor. It is the responsibility of the entire organizational team. Explore the steps you and your organizational team can take to increase the success of a new hire becoming a long-term contributor. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n Important: Registration requires 2 steps: payment to ACHE of Georgia with the link above and registration on ACHE’s website (no extra charge) to receive the webinar link.
