Aligning Executive Compensation with the New Health Care Paradigm: What the Board Needs to Know
Strong health care leadership has never been more important – or more demanding – than it is today. Reform-era chief executives must combine competencies in leadership, strategy development and execution to steer their hospitals and health systems through unprecedented transformational change.
