Abstract

The ability to bring new board members up to speed quickly has always been a key determinant of board effectiveness. In today's marketplace, the challenge is even greater. You must prepare your entire board to navigate the rapidly changing healthcare landscape and to get out in front on challenges such as capitation, mergers and acquisitions, and integrated delivery systems. How can you make board education a successful, ongoing process, effectively delivering useful, current information in a scant amount of time? Healthcare Executive posed this question to a panel of practitioners and consultants, who offered the following 25 ways to maximize board effectiveness.

Physicians' ethical beliefs about cost-control arrangements.

BACKGROUND: Although much has been written about the ethics of new methods of health care financing, little is known about the extent to which physicians experience these cost-control arrangements as ethical problems. METHOD: A cross-sectional telephone survey of 1,549 physicians, 8 to 17 years after residency, randomly selected from 75 US metropolitan service areas (response rate, 74.0%). RESULTS: Only 17.0% believed that financial incentives to limit services are ethically acceptable. Although 52.9% thought that physicians should try to abide by guidelines discouraging the use of interventions with possible but unproven benefit, only 14.5% thought such guidelines should be enforced by payers. Only 5.7% thought that it was morally acceptable for payers to discourage physicians from telling patients about their personal financial incentives, and only 9.1% found compliance with such restrictions morally acceptable. Changes in the health care system in the past 5 years were believed to have had a negative impact on their own patients' trust in them by 50.6%, and 80.8% believed that changes in the health care system in the past decade have diminished physicians' commitment to an ethic of undivided loyalty to patients. In multiple regression analysis, physicians who reported that the overall personal financial incentives in their practices encouraged them to reduce services were significantly more likely to have ethical objections to such incentives, to believe their own patients' trust in them had diminished, and to believe that the ethic of undivided loyalty to patients had diminished. CONCLUSIONS: Many of the methods now commonly used to influence medical decision making are considered ethically objectionable by most midcareer physicians. Whether their ethical disquiet about these arrangements is justified cannot be answered from these data.

BDJ readership survey.

Over the summer, BDJ readers were surveyed about the BDJ as part of a series of BDJ surveys conducted since 1992. As well as assessing general views about the BDJ, the survey also aimed to discover how successful the 1998 BDJ redesign had been in incorporating reader's views from earlier surveys. The findings from the 1999 survey showed that the BDJ and BDA News continue to be the most read dental publications. Readers turn to the BDJ before any other UK dental journal for finding a job and reports on research. The full results of the survey are reported below.
