This talk will focus on the essential qualifications for clinician leadership in healthcare organizations. The challenges faced by the U.S. healthcare system cannot be addressed without new approaches and strong clinician leadership in partnership with patients and the public. The goals of better care, lower cost, and better patient and provider experience require system-level approaches and the management of organizational change. In order to lead toward better health for all, clinicians must assume leadership roles that require a different set of skills in addition to those required for excellence in the care of individual patients. Christian healthcare professionals can bring values and ethics to these roles.

Objectives:

• Define knowledge of leadership essentials to leadership roles in healthcare organizations.
• Use leadership skills to facilitate positive change in their healthcare roles and their organizations.
