High-performing boards recognize the importance of staying focused on performance and results. A key tool for achieving this is a comprehensive dashboard that provides a clear overview of the organization’s performance. By comparing key metrics to industry benchmarks and tracking trends over time, the board gains valuable insights to guide strategic decision-making and identify areas for improvement. Tracking these results can help establish and monitor goals across critical areas of improvement which can range from financial performance, to quality scores or client satisfaction. This approach fosters accountability, keeps efforts aligned with measurable outcomes, and drives continuous improvement, empowering boards to lead their organizations toward sustained success.
Mark your calendars for July 14-15 and plan to attend this exciting American College of Healthcare Executives educational cluster in Boston, MA.

In 2025, my aspiration is to engage in fulfilling work with colleagues whom I enjoy, making a positive contribution to healthcare leadership, and cherishing each moment. Gratitude to Kevin Manemann for helping me start strong on this goal with a productive lunch at Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, A Hilton Resort & Spa. Together, we are crafting content for a 2-day Educational Cluster for the American College of Healthcare Executives. Hope you will save the date and join us this summer! We'll be in Boston, MA on July 14-15 for the debut session of our program, "Changing the Way You Lead to Navigate Today’s Demands and Shape Tomorrow's Success." #HealthcareLeaders #ProfessionalDevelopment
An important characteristic of a high-performing board is its commitment to self-reflection and governance effectiveness. This means prioritizing regular evaluation of both individual contributions and collective performance to ensure the board is functioning as a cohesive and effective leadership body. Individual board members play a crucial role in this process by assessing their behavior and ensuring it positively contributes to the team dynamic. Their actions should align with the shared goal of fostering collaboration and driving success. Equally important is the board's ability to evaluate its overall relationship with the executive team and medical staff. By conducting regular assessments, boards can track their achievements, identify areas for growth, and implement actionable improvements. This continuous cycle of reflection?not only strengthens governance but also positions the board to lead with greater confidence and make improvements year after year. Prioritizing this, sets the foundation for meaningful progress and long-term organizational success.

The Fall board retreat season continues!
This weekend, while the snow softly fell in the Cascade and Leavenworth Mountains, a group of 25 committed community, physician, and executive leaders from Confluence Health gathered to develop their collective vision for locally-led, comprehensive, high-quality healthcare for their rural communities in North Central Washington state. As someone who regularly leads groups through retreats like this, I can tell you the work is not easy. I was awed and humbled by this group of leaders who were vulnerable, honest, and all-in with their dedication to their communities, their board’s excellence, and their organization’s success. Hats off to the board and executive team members for an outstanding retreat and highly productive weekend. Thank you for giving your time to do this important work. And, bonus for me, I met a new rising star in the field of healthcare quality, Dr. Dami Weinrich! A special thank you, to board chair Cori Bautista, vice chair Vicky Scharlau, CEO Andrew Jones MD, MBA and all the Confluence Health leaders!
