In this wide-ranging chat, Brian and Kyle talk about the effect employee experience has on patient experience, how to cope with a rapidly changing healthcare landscape and what future leaders can do to succeed as a hospital or health system executive.

Cassling President Kyle Salem, Ph.D., recently sat down with Bob Senneff, President and CEO at Graham Health System in Canton, Illinois. They discussed a wide range of topics, including rural healthcare, the importance of including physicians in administrative discussions, the movement toward value-based care and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), payer negotiations, imaging’s valuable role within healthcare organizations, and how to succeed in an increasingly complex field.

Recently, Mike Hansen, CEO and president of Columbus Community Hospital in Columbus, Nebraska, chatted with Cassling President Kyle Salem. As part of their wide-ranging conversation, Mike touched on the importance of establishing relationships with Critical Access Hospitals and large health systems alike, the power of culture for improving patient experience and the ways hospitals can enhance their place in the community without relying on inpatient procedures.
