SAN DIEGO, CALIF., June 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Governance Institute, a service of National Research Corporation, has published an in-depth multimedia case study analyzing key leadership decisions made by Chris Van Gorder, FACHE, president and CEO of Scripps Health in San Diego, over the past 14 years of his tenure.
Since 2000, when Van Gorder took on the challenge of leading this organization through its hardest days, Scripps Health has seen drastic improvements in financial performance, turnover rates, and employee morale. During this time, the system has realized over $240 million in cost savings and increased its annual profits by over 1,200 percent.
This case study focuses on key decisions made by Van Gorder and his team that enabled this dramatic turnaround—decisions that, put together, created an entirely new organizational culture and resulted in a world-renowned health system that has received countless awards and accolades for its quality of care and stellar leadership. The publication includes two main components for Governance Institute members:
1. A PDF of the case study
2. A 20-minute video program intended for viewing and discussion during board meetings (available for sale in DVD format or streaming online)

In addition, The Governance Institute presented this case study during an interactive teaching session at its annual Chairperson, CEO, and Physician Leader conference earlier this month. The teaching session will be repeated at the leadership conferences September 14–17, 2014, in Colorado Springs, and October 19–22, 2014, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. On-site teaching sessions can also be arranged for a fee. To learn more about The Governance Institute conferences and to register, click here.
