Ryan Donohue, Corporate Director of Program Development at National Research and frequent presenter for The Governance Institute, will open the conference with his keynote topic, "Building Customer Engagement through Innovative Strategies."
"There's still confusion on the role—and power—of the customer's voice in healthcare," Donohue said. "In today's market, the role they play is very similar to that of customers choosing a hotel or buying a car; they read online reviews, engage in social media, and really do their homework. Hospitals and health systems are in the same boat, and if they aren't meeting the appropriate measures for quality healthcare delivery, they will fail. Healthcare executives, board members, and physicians must understand that customers who are positively engaged and trust their providers are much better equipped to receive the best care possible—and that's a win-win for both parties."
The conference agenda is built upon The Governance Institute's 2015 Education Agenda, which includes the following learning objectives: Intentional Governance Across the Continuum; Leadership Accountability During Times of Change; Effective Engagement of Clinicians in Leadership; Transforming Care Delivery through Health IT; and Health System & Provider Evolution.
