When Stanford University Hospital's 300-work-station clinical database is functional sometime around 1995, hospital staff will have ready access to every piece of information relevant to a patient's medical record. Eventually, clinicians will be able to view patient X-rays on the computer, track trends and more.
Hillary Rodham Clinton called California's health care delivery system a model for the nation during a live teleconference at the CAHHS Annual Meeting Oct. 13 in San Diego. In her first-ever address before a state hospital association, the first lady told nearly 1,000 people that California "has its own place of honor in the health care debate" and praised the state for being "years ahead of Washington (D.C.) in recognizing what's right about American health care." What follows is the transcript from her address.
Taking a failing hospital from the brink of financial ruin and turning it into a thriving, profitable entity takes more than a dose of good luck. It takes a strong leader who has the vision, determination and skill to execute a successful turnaround and put that hospital back on track. In addition to addressing financial factors, an effective leader will promote a good working relationship between the hospital management, board, staff, patients, caregivers and community members. Following are seven California hospitals that have all faced financial crises in recent years. These hospitals have made the transition out of the red and into the black with the kind of leadership that relies on trust, teamwork, common sense and ingenuity.
