Their boards can help by asking the right questions and providing the guidance that helps hospitals and health systems develop effective plans to deal with these challenges. And now, boards themselves could get a little help with this important task. </p> <p> 00:00:33:17 - 00:01:00:18<br> Tom Haederle<br> Welcome to Advancing Health, a podcast from the ���������� Association. I'm Tom Haederle with AHA Communications. Today we hear from James Liggins, an experienced board member with Bronson Healthcare in Michigan. In this podcast hosted by Nikhil Baviskar, the AHA's program manager for trustee services, Liggins describes his work on a tool board members can use to help their organizations thrive in this complex and challenging era for health care. </p> <p> 00:01:00:20 - 00:01:19:04<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> Hi James, great to see you here at the 2024 AHA Leadership Summit. Can you tell me a little bit about your organization as well as your board, specifically the composition, the history? And I would be remiss if I didn't ask about your involvement with our AHA Committee on Governance as well. </p> <p> 00:01:19:06 - 00:01:44:18<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> Absolutely. So my name is James Liggins, I am the incoming board chair, actually, for my organization, which is Bronson Healthcare Group. It's located in Michigan. It is a four-hospital system, almost five hospitals now. We just brought in a behavioral health hospital as well. Maybe about 9000 employees, the largest employee in the area. So it's headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan. </p> <p> 00:01:44:21 - 00:02:04:00<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And then we pretty much are southwest Michigan as our region as a nine-region area. And I am the incoming chair, and I've been there for, I've been on the board there for about eight years now. I'm also a commercial litigator by trade, so I do business-to-business kind of litigation. The firm that I work for is called Warner Norcross + Judd. </p> <p> 00:02:04:02 - 00:02:33:11<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And then with respect to the ���������� Association, I am a Committee on Governance member, and I've been a member for several years now. And the incoming chair for that committee as well. And that is really one of the highlights of my career with respect to board work, because it's a different type of committee and it's the flow is a little bit different than I'm used to, but I'm really enjoying the impact that it seems like it has over the entire health care industry and hospitals in general. </p> <p> 00:02:33:13 - 00:02:58:23<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> Appreciate that and thank you for the shout out. We love having our COG members involved with so much of what we do. Specifically, you know, referring to the AHA, I wanted to next question ask you about the AHA Next Generation Leaders Fellow. So this is a program that you are expected to develop a project. And one of the reasons we have you here today is to explain that project as it is something that seems interesting for lots of people. </p> <p> 00:02:58:29 - 00:03:36:27<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> Well, sure. So the Next Generation Leaders Fellowship is, I think I'm a little bit of a unicorn with it because it's normally for those who are kind of up and coming executives headed towards the C-suite kind of level in operations of hospitals. But since I'm actually a board member as opposed to operationally speaking, it's been very interesting. And the focus of what I really wanted to get out of it was the operational side of the health care industry as a whole, and the project that I've decided to focus on is actually kind of near and dear to my heart as a board member, because it really kind of stemmed from some of the dynamics that we </p> <p> 00:03:36:27 - 00:04:07:27<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> received or experience as an industry from Covid, as well as now we're seeing some of the cybersecurity issues that, not some of them, a lot of them, and even CrowdStrike that just kind of impacted the airline industry and others. It really kind of started to concern me as a board member about those areas of vulnerability with organizations that, should they fail and we not have redundancies in those fields or in those areas, we could have catastrophic kind of impact for the organizations. </p> <p> 00:04:07:27 - 00:04:39:12<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And so my project was focused on the board side of this. How do we develop a tool that helps the board to ask the right questions, to make sure that our organizations are addressing areas of those types of vulnerabilities? They're called single points of failure, and it really comes from the technical side or technology side with the idea that if you have an app or you have a server that potentially if that's your only non-redundant system and it fails, then you're in trouble. </p> <p> 00:04:39:12 - 00:05:05:27<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And so, but that's organizationally-wise it can be applied throughout every industry. And so my thought was how do we apply that to the health care industry. And particularly from the board level. How do we develop a tool. And this is really interesting, how do you develop a tool that doesn't poke too far into operations as a board, but also allows you to do your due diligence to ask and inquire for the questions that the board members should be asking. </p> <p> 00:05:06:00 - 00:05:16:25<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And so that's been my project, is develop that type of tool, and it's been a wonderful process. And fortunately I have a organization that was really behind the idea of trying to help me to develop it as well. </p> <p> 00:05:16:27 - 00:05:35:11<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> That is awesome. In a word. I think it's really great that you are looking at this from a board member’s perspective, because we don't usually see that. And I think calling yourself a unicorn is helpful as well, because it shows us that the board member does have a unique perspective on all of this. So the board tool sounds amazing. </p> <p> 00:05:35:11 - 00:05:38:27<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> Can you tell me how it would work in practice and potentially give us an example? </p> <p> 00:05:38:28 - 00:05:58:21<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> Sure. So in practice, the way it works is what you really want to do is work with your executive team. So to develop questions that kind of are focused on things like, so a single point of failure could be a person, you know, it could be a position, maybe a position that we don't have a succession plan for, we don't have. </p> <p> 00:05:58:25 - 00:06:19:27<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> But if we lost that person, the system could come to a halt. It could be very catastrophic for us. It could be a vendor that is a single point of produce or production or service for the organization that we don't have backups for. It could be someone or a knowledge or a skillset, that if that skillset goes away, the organization as a whole is in trouble. </p> <p> 00:06:20:03 - 00:06:40:25<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And so what we develop was a, so you work with your team, and the reason why you have to work with your executives is because you really want to counteract and mitigate the defense, the automatic defensiveness that people might have when you start talking about areas within their responsibility, right? That at the end of the day, may look or reflect bad on them. </p> <p> 00:06:40:27 - 00:06:54:24<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> So you really have to work to bring them into the process right from the beginning and help them to understand that this is going to be anonymous. The goal is not to single point anyone out. The goal is to make sure that the organization as a whole is as healthy as it can be. </p> <p> 00:06:54:27 - 00:06:57:08<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> Have you been able to test this out as of yet? </p> <p> 00:06:57:13 - 00:07:19:23<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> So I have the survey. We are working on implementation right now. And so the goal is by fourth quarter to implement it at Bronson. Yeah. And the cool thing is I'll just be moving into the board chair role. So I'll have some legitimacy and pushing this out to the organization as a whole. Because just as a regular board member, I'm not sure I'd be able to get it pushed. </p> <p> 00:07:19:23 - 00:07:29:18<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> Well legitimacy matters, yeah, legitimacy matters. Well, James, thank you so much for your time today. I can't wait to follow up with you and find out how this works out. </p> <p> 00:07:29:18 - 00:07:46:08<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> And one last thing I'll say, Nikhil, is on the Committee on Governance. You know, the goal is hopefully after I've had a year of implementation to talk to our committee about it as well and just let the committee members know what we're doing, they may decide that it's something that they may have interest in as well. And our members as well. </p> <p> 00:07:46:10 - 00:07:53:27<br> Nikhil Baviskar<br> We are at the Innovation Hub at the Leadership Summit. So perfect idea. So thank you again, James, for your time and we'll talk to you later. </p> <p> 00:07:53:27 - 00:07:56:02<br> James Liggins, Jr.<br> Nikhil, I appreciate the opportunity. </p> <p> 00:07:56:04 - 00:08:04:15<br> Tom Haederle<br> Thanks for listening to Advancing Health.

The board should ensure there is a strategy to develop and strengthen community partnerships.</p> Wed, 10 Jul 2024 13:44:33 -0500 Board Development /news/perspective/2024-05-17-supporting-hospital-and-health-system-boards-we-navigate-changing-health-care-landscape <p>The many complexities of health care today continue to challenge hospital and health system governing boards to ensure that high-quality patient care is provided to the communities they serve.</p><p>Nowadays, boards need to bring much more than traditional oversight of finances, quality and patient care. Board members must be knowledgeable across a wide variety of health care topics and issues (some further their learning by rounding with clinicians), as well as community bridge-builders who can forge coalitions to advance health.</p><p>The past few years have wrought profound changes, expanding the board’s role in hospital and health system oversight as never before.</p><p>For one thing, the accountability of boards has substantially increased. Today, board members find themselves confronted with multi-faceted challenges such as workforce shortages, a rise in behavioral and mental health issues that impact their communities and workforce, not to mention the ever-present threat of cyberattacks and the expanding role of artificial intelligence.</p><p>Successfully engaging with these issues requires not only a thorough understanding of them, but the ability to create workable strategies and solutions to support their hospitals and health systems to continue to provide high-quality care for their patients and communities.</p><p>Today’s risks have become more significant than in the past. For example, it is important for hospitals and health systems to have a cybersecurity plan in place and for boards to understand what the plan is, what the risks are and what the plan will be going forward.</p><p>And because risk oversight has become increasingly important to organizational sustainability, boards also need to create an enterprise risk management (ERM) discipline that supports the identification, assessment and management of risks. This helps boards to function as effective stewards and fiduciaries and focus on the issues critical to creating greater value for their organizations and stakeholders.</p><p>At the same time, boards also should be looking at their structure to ensure they are diverse in representing their community’s needs. Diversity not only means race and ethnicity, but age, expertise and skill set. A diverse board is a strong board, one that can have robust discussion about the issues impacting their hospitals and health systems.</p><p>Service as a board member today can be demanding, but the opportunity to guide, advise and support the health care organizations that are cornerstones of our communities is immensely rewarding.</p><p><strong>The AHA supports good governance by offering education and resources on governance practices and our field’s emerging challenges that are crucial to advancing health in every community across the country. </strong><a href="https://trustees.aha.org/" target="_blank" title="AHA Trustee Services homepage"><strong>AHA’s Trustee Services</strong></a><strong> serves as the hub for a broad array of efforts to help hospitals and their boards navigate the transforming health care landscape.</strong></p><p>In addition, several of AHA’s key meetings have sessions or educational tracks designed for trustees.

We discuss the important role and dynamic work of boards of trustees as hospitals and health systems navigate tremendous challenges after the pandemic.</p> <p>Saint Luke’s has focused on and invested in “our people and technology” the past few years to “maintain the quality of our care and improve and reshape the efficiency” of care delivery, Greg explains. “[The board] listened carefully to what our team has been living through these past few years and tried to provide support for them, both technologically and with programs that would provide them with mental and physical support,” he says. The health system also has expanded digital care as part of its investment in technology, which has been well received by patients.</p> <p>Greg discusses the “intentionality” it takes for hospitals and health systems to develop a diverse board, which has become a higher priority. He also explains how the Saint Luke’s Health System board and the subsidiary boards in the system work together to ensure all community voices are heard.</p> <p>Board members are “great messengers” in telling the hospital story, to share the financial, health care and social contributions that hospitals and health systems provide to communities, Greg emphasizes.</p> <p>I hope you find these conversations interesting and insightful.

This revised guidance explicitly lays out the kind of leadership and board engagement CMS expects with regard to hospitals’ work on quality and patient safety.</p> <p>In general, Conditions of Participation (COPs) for the Medicare and Medicaid programs specify what hospitals and critical access hospitals must do to protect patients from unintended harm, along with steps that should be taken to ensure the care provided is of high quality. Hospitals are surveyed periodically by one of four organizations that CMS has deemed to be capable of performing such reviews on the agency’s behalf or by state employees who work for departments of health or public health and act on CMS’s behalf. The interpretative guidance is intended to tell both surveyors and those being surveyed what COP compliance should look like and what evidence the surveyors are expected to examine.</p> <h2>QAPI PROGRAM CHANGES</h2> <p>CMS’ QAPI program is intended to ensure that hospitals have in place active and effective systems to examine the care they provide, identify problems that contribute to patient harm or poor performance, and take steps to remedy those problems with appropriate follow up to ensure performance has improved. In updating this interpretive guidance, CMS is emphasizing its expectation that governing boards must oversee the quality of care provided.</p> <p>The QAPI requirement has long called for hospitals to focus their quality improvement efforts on high-risk, high-volume or problem-prone areas and their effects on the quality of care, patient safety and health outcomes. In the updated guidance, CMS specifies that hospitals’ governing bodies are responsible for oversight of the QAPI program and should conduct periodic reviews of: the hospital’s plan for QAPI; its selection of improvement projects; and its progress in achieving better performance. The updated guidance also stipulates that the governing body should set clear expectations for safety, the collection and review of incident reports, and the allocation of adequate resources to engage in these quality and safety improvement efforts.</p> <p>CMS says that it expects that the governing body will ensure that clear expectations for safety will be communicated to staff, as well as to those providing services under arrangement with the hospital. CMS instructs surveyors to look for evidence of such involvement by governing boards, including the initiation of specific projects emerging from analysis of patient safety events in the minutes of the governance meetings or other such documents.</p> <h2>AHA TAKE</h2> <p>AHA has long supported board-level engagement in quality and patient safety. Conceptually, we believe it is important that hospital governing bodies are active in efforts to ensure continuous monitoring of performance and efforts to make care safer and more effective. However, we are aware that hospitals may have chosen to implement this oversight in a variety of ways that best take advantage of their governing boards’ composition. The AHA will be closely reviewing CMS’ new guidance for implications for hospitals and health systems, including as a result of the details and evidence surveyors might expect to see or information they might request.</p> <h2>FURTHER QUESTIONS</h2> <p>If you have further questions, please contact Nancy Foster at <a href="mailto:nfoster@aha.org">nfoster@aha.org</a>.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4"> <p><a href="/system/files/media/file/2023/03/cms-issues-qapi-program-interpretive-guidance-specifying-boards-roles-bulletin-3-13-23.pdf" target="_blank"><img alt="Special Bulletin Cover" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid src="/sites/default/files/2023-03/cover-cms-issues-qapi-program-interpretive-guidance-specifying-boards-roles-bulletin-3-13-23-508px.png"></a></p> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 13 Mar 2023 15:15:04 -0500 Board Development /education-events/enterprise-leadership-role-ceo-and-board-evolution-health-care <p><strong>Enterprise Leadership: The Role of the CEO and the Board in the Evolution of Health Care</strong></p> <p><strong>Wednesday, May 25, 2022 </strong><br /> <em>11 a.m. - 12 p.m. Eastern; 10 –11 a.m. Central; 8 – 9 a.m. Pacific </em></p> <div class="webreplay"> .webreplay{ border: solid 2px #777; padding: 15px 5px; margin: 0 0 10px 15px; } @media (min-width:360px){ .webreplay{ min-width: 290px; float: right; } } <h2><small>On-demand Webinar</small></h2> MktoForms2.loadForm("//sponsors.aha.org", "710-ZLL-651", 2397); </div> <p>In the midst of intense change, leadership and governance are evolving to deliver extraordinary results. Most organizations’ enterprise impact can be viewed through the lenses of perform and transform: expressed both by fully optimizing and extending their core business model, and by transforming their existing business model to respond to evolving changes and disruption in the health care landscape.
