A leadership vacuum.

More and more frequently, hospital CEOs face a daunting question about the future of their organizations: Who will replace me when I retire? A severe talent drain has hit health care management. Executive searches take longer, fewer candidates vie for jobs, and there is a trend among hospital CEOs to retire earlier. The traditional development process, such as residencies and fellowships--and most importantly, mentoring by CEOs--has waned. Savvy organizations are attacking the problem in a number of innovative ways.

Are you ready?

Like the public, health care leaders might feel overwhelmed by the prospect of preparing for a terrorist act, especially one involving biological agents. In our 10-page special report, we look at practical steps you can take today to get ready, drawing lessons from hospitals in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Israel, and from Salt Lake City's efforts to prepare for the possibility of terrorism at the Olympics in February. Please note that our report is based on the latest news about terrorism, reaction to it and readiness efforts as of H&HN's deadline.

Coverage & access. Communities take charge.

Everyone wants to expand health care coverage and access for those who need it, and many providers know what has to be done in their communities to make it happen. But getting there is a challenge because money is tight and much of the low-hanging fruit has already been picked. Even so, some providers, aided by grants to pave the administrative way, are finding creative methods to bring health care to the underserved. Hospitals & Health Networks looks at two such programs--what they hope to accomplish, what they've had to overcome and how they're putting their communities in charge.

Leadership survey. An evaluation of health care executives' challenges.

Locating and keeping employees represents one of the greatest challenges facing health care leaders today. This is a key finding of the third Leadership Survey of executives in physician practices, managed care organizations and hospitals. The survey is sponsored by the Medical Group Management Association and Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Other significant results: Practices put the most emphasis on teamwork, training and staff development as methods to combat labor shortages; practice executives count adequacy of reimbursements and physician productivity as top leadership challenges, along with the availability of qualified workers; practices choose print advertising and the addition of new products and services as the best ways for them to build market share.
