Text book being used: Principles of HealthCare Leadership – Bernard J. Healey
Examine the interplay between the challenges forecasted for healthcare over the next decade, potential ramifications on healthcare provision, and leadership as a driver of change. A look at Chapter two shows leadership is not a monolith – there are a variety of approaches suited to different needs and conflicts (p. 21).
For this assignment, choose one of the forecasted changes discussed by your textbook that healthcare will have to face over the next decade. Explore some additional research regarding this challenge, especially regarding what solutions are proposed, to discuss the following questions:
What leadership approach/style(s) seems best suited to leaders at the forefront of driving change and developing solutions to this challenge, and why?
Think of 2 different domains impacted by this challenge (for example, service providers offering care for chronic diseases and mental health, and hospital leadership such as a Board of Directors). Do you think leaders from these two domains are able to drive change using the same leadership style or are there differences? Discuss.
Why is a movement away from bureaucracy and scientific management essential to meet these 21st-century challenges through innovation?
Question 2
We see leadership as a powerful tool for addressing the complex problems faced by a changing healthcare landscape (p. 5). The continuing escalation of healthcare costs, along with the diminishing quality of healthcare services is unsustainable. For your discussion, analyze these two insights in relation to each other. Begin by outlining the major changes forecasted for the coming decade in your readings for this week and discuss the following:
Explain the ramifications on healthcare providers and policymakers for each of the predictions
What changes need to be made to reduce healthcare costs?
Why is leadership an important source of change and how can leaders implement solutions to these problems? Be specific.
