  • CHANGES in GOVERNANCE: Interviews with New York State Healthcare Leaders
    CHANGES IN GOVERNANCE: Interviews with New York State Healthcare Leaders September 2018 CHANGES IN GOVERNANCEa 1 CHANGES IN GOVERNANCE INTRODUCTION Since our first Changes in Governance report, published in 2017, we continue to see significant transformation in the healthcare environment, with a growing number of affiliations occurring and major care delivery reform. These changes are impacting the way governance is structured both at the system and local stand-alone hospital board levels. This report highlights 11 interviews conducted with thought leaders from across the state about their experiences and views on the changing role of governance. These interviews were conducted by Sue Ellen Wagner, Executive Director, HTNYS, between fall 2017 and spring 2018. HTNYS extends special thanks to these leaders for taking the time to share their valuable insight for this report. GOVERNANCE TRENDS Governance trends identified during the interviews include: Governance structures are changing at both the health system and stand-alone hospital board level. Health systems are continuing to get larger. Many local stand-alone hospital board roles and responsibilities are changing as these facilities become part of health systems. Diversifying boards and recruiting younger board members remains challenging. Many board members are working full-time jobs and have little time for education, even though they feel board education is extremely important. Many boards are allowing videoconferencing for those trustees who travel out of town for the winter months or who live in another state. It is important to maintain a personal “feel” to meetings. Some system boards have begun to examine the number of committee meetings and board meetings they have.

Levine, MD; on behalf of the Upstate New York Stroke Work Groups Background and Purpose—The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and Department of Health Stroke Coverdell Program convened a stakeholder meeting in upstate NY to develop recommendations to enhance stroke systems for acute large vessel occlusion. Downloaded from Methods—Prehospital, hospital, and Department of Health leadership were invited (n=157). Participants provided goals/ concerns and developed recommendations for prehospital triage and interfacility transport, rating each using a 3-level impact (A [high], B, and C [low]) and implementation feasibility (1 [high], 2, and 3 [low]) scale. Six weeks later, participants finalized recommendations. Results—Seventy-one stakeholders (45% of invitees) attended. Six themes around goals/concerns emerged: (1) emergency http://stroke.ahajournals.org/ medical services capacity, (2) validated prehospital screening tools, (3) facility capability, (4) triage/transport guidelines, (5) data capture/feedback tools, and (6) facility competition. In response, high-impact (level A) prehospital recommendations, stratified by implementation feasibility, were (1) use of online medical control for triage (6%); (2) regional transportation strategy (31%), standardized emergency medical services checklists (18%), quality metrics (14%), standardized prehospital screening tools (13%), and feedback for performance improvement (7%); and (3) smartphone application algorithm for screening/decision-making (6%) and ambulance-based telemedicine (6%).
