Every health system leader has unprecedented executive management challenges facing their organization in the wake of the pandemic. During a recent virtual executive roundtable session hosted by the Healthcare Management Academy (HMA), which included the Baldrige Foundation co-hosts Dr. Roger Spoelman and Dr. Charles “Chuck” Peck as panelists, the discussion clarified the top challenges to overcome for health systems to “future proof” their organizations.

On this episode of “Leader Dialogue Radio”, Dr. Peck will unpack the audience voting from the HMA interactive executive round table, providing keen insight as to the prioritized problems-to-solve and considerations for addressing the challenges.

Charles (Chuck) Peck, MD, FACS

Charles (Chuck) Peck is an internist and rheumatologist with more than 35 years of healthcare experience as a clinician, scientist, medical school faculty member, administrator, medical director, CEO, and partner in the global healthcare advisory company Guidehouse.

Chuck’s most recent projects include a $108M financial turnaround of a $2B integrated health system in the northeast leading to their affiliation with a leading academic health system. He was a member of President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services transition team. Prior to joining Guidehouse, Chuck served as CEO of Piedmont Athens Regional Health System, on the board of Vizient Southern States, partner at a global healthcare consulting firm responsible for the clinical operations practice; CEO of a 150 physician group multi-specialty practice; president of the southeast and northeast regions of a large national health insurance carrier; chief medical officer of a start-up retail health clinic operator; chief medical officer/chief operations officer of a national disease management company; and CEO of an ambulatory surgery center and physician services company.

Chuck is a co-host of the Baldrige Foundation Leader Dialogue program and provides mentoring and thought leadership insights to numerous organizations and leaders across the country on a variety of operational, financial, and leadership topics.

Ben Sawyer, MBA, PT, OCS, LBB

Ben started his healthcare career in 1985 as a Physical Therapist, focusing on sports medicine and orthopedics, and received his specialist certification as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) in 1997 from the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties.

After securing his MBA, he moved into hospital administration, overseeing rehab, wellness, cardiac therapy, and occupational medicine services, specializing in team development and performance optimization. This expanded into a system leadership role overseeing performance and quality improvement. During that time Ben achieved his Lean Black Belt certification (LBB)

Ben has a gift for recognizing strategic gaps that can be turned into opportunities. For example, during the COVID-19 crisis he initiated national executive roundtables with the Baldrige Foundation via the Leader Dialogue program to help executives turn the pandemic disruption into an opportunity for improved collaboration and performance towards true Community Health beyond the walls of hospitals and to prioritize and coordinate action and resources.

Jeff Lovejoy, Suzanne Nicol and Dana James

Jeff Lovejoy/ActionCOACH

For the past 14 years, Jeff Lovejoy has owned an ActionCOACH franchise (global coaching organization). His typical clients are successful, but come to him because they know their businesses is capable of greater success. They just don’t know how to achieve that success. Their knowledge has gotten them to where they are, but they don’t know how to get to the next level. They typically think that to achieve greater growth and success, they have to work longer and harder, which leads to frustration, loss of motivation and a poor work/life balance.

Jeff doesn’t teach them how to do the day-to-day work better, but rather how to become better owners by becoming more strategic and better managers of their time. His clients gain a sense of direction and focus. They become much more proactive vs. the typical owner who is totally reactive.

ActionCOACH focuses on marketing, sales, leadership, financial, customer experience, building a superior team, installing processes, and much more as they are moved into the next level.

Suzanne Nicol & Dana James/Holbrook of Sugar Hill
