Artificial intelligence seems to be the topic on everyone’s minds, and this is certainly true in healthcare as well. What considerations should healthcare leaders make as they evaluate AI in their particular contexts?


Machine learning is not going to be a panacea for all problems, and has great potential to create new ones. There are many considerations that healthcare leaders must make as they evaluate AI in their particular contexts.

When deciding whether to accept a counteroffer, both the organization and the person looking for an offer need to change their focus from the immediate details of the negotiations and consider the long-term consequences of accepting.

I was having lunch a few weeks ago with an executive search consultant who used to work for me. He said he had recently had a rash of candidates accepting

"Healthcare costs are out of control, approaching 19% of GDP. Certainly there needs to be cost containment, but it should not come at the expense of denying care. Patient engagement is the solution."

The only way to solve the problem of healthcare costs is to educate, empower, activate, and engage patients. Providers and public health programs need to give patients the information they need about their own health and how to care for themselves, but patients must also be educated about the real c

Hospital CEOs in 2023 have many tough decisions to make. Are there concrete steps they can take this year to, at the least, insulate their organizations, or perhaps even succeed amidst such challenges?

By Dr. Seleem R. Choudhury Futurists and analysts are forever predicting various new-year opportunities for healthcare, from expansion and innovation to workforce priorities and strategic deselection and reduction. The twin juggernauts of economic impediments and recessionary fears, even with their

Almost three years after a nearly overnight switch to remote work at the start of the pandemic, how do organizations decide who needs to come back to the office?

Companies seem to still be determining what respective value remote versus in-person work offer to their organization.  Where any given organization lands on this issue depends on a number of factors, and though strong opinions abound, it isn’t an easy question to navigate. From my vantage

As leaders, how can we make the best decision we can with the best information available to us at the time?

By Pamela J. Gallagher The modern healthcare industry is dependent on data. The steady improvement of how data is collected and analyzed has allowed us to make great strides in providing quality care and improving the health of our patients. At the same time, the pandemic has highlighted how this d

"Though most people would consider themselves open to change and willing to listen to others’ perspectives, it’s one thing to believe that about yourself and another to train yourself to live that way."

By Pamela J. Gallagher After the tumultuous events of the past several years, I’ve noticed in my conversations with others that there no longer seems to be much middle ground on the issues of our day. Every issue and event seems to be polarizing and comes with a set of assumptions about the charac...

Overcoming health disparities must begin with the relationship between the patient and their provider.

Overcoming health disparities must begin with the relationship between the patient and their provider.

By Dr. Seleem R. Choudhury The healthcare industry must address these health disparities and distinguish “factors within the community that lead to persistent differences in mortality outcomes, to improve population health and longstanding disparities for minority populations” (Glenn, 2022). Thi...

Often, we are flattered when we’re asked to join a board of directors—and reasonably so!—and so we assume it must be a good thing and a worthy organization. But to maintain an active commitment for the entire length of your board service, you need clarity from the start on what it would entail to accept the board assignment and the values you share with the organization.

A good relationship with your boss is essential to thrive in the workplace and get things done.

By Pamela J. Gallagher I have been very fortunate with the bosses I’ve had over the years. On the whole, they have been people I respect and have been able to learn from. Who you work with—and for —can make or break a job. I have even seen colleagues whose entire careers have been upended by a...

"In most communities, healthcare workers are looked upon for the example they set for others. The healthcare community needs to lead in responding to climate change as well. The health and well-being of our neighbors depends upon it."


We all need to play a role in reducing the effects of climate change on our planet. All of us. As a clinician and healthcare executive, I have had the opportunity to see the direct impact of climate change on many of the patients we serve.

Working with an executive search firm can give you access to jobs that might not be listed publicly. But it’s important to know the difference between the two types of search firms to understand what they can do for you.
