Industry Challenges = GR Challenges

Now Imagine Being General Counsel at This Hospital

Hospital At-a-Glance
• Region’s largest healthcare provider – $3 billion system with multiple hospitals, outpatient
care centers and clinics– One of the largest employers in the region – Provides more charity care and community
programs than any other provider in the region • Committed to and known for delivering high-quality,
affordable care
![Page 7: The Rise of Hospital Government Relations 2-26-15](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d59e7ebb61eb85778b461a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hospital-At-a-Glance: A Sophisticated System
• Dynamic CEO • Embraces industry changes and proactively invests in
innovative ways to deliver care – Established networks with local providers – Partnership with CVS to bring care to their patients
where they live and shop – Fully implemented EHR system throughout the
health system • The list goes on…
![Page 8: The Rise of Hospital Government Relations 2-26-15](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d59e7ebb61eb85778b461a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hospital Realities
• Repeatedly getting hit by reimbursement cuts (that others in the region are staving off)
• Losing significant managed care contracts • Unable to influence critical legislative and regulatory
issues• Unsuccessful in Certificate of Need attempts (their
own and opposing others’) • No significant external champions willing to speak up
on their behalf • Competitor is seen as the savior in the community

Meet Bob
![Page 10: The Rise of Hospital Government Relations 2-26-15](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d59e7ebb61eb85778b461a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unsophisticated GR Program for Sophisticated System
• The system has crippled its GR program for years– Doesn’t have a leader dedicated to GR– Doesn’t invest in its GR team, its efforts or its
reputation– Overall leadership isn’t engaged in GR – Doesn’t tie GR goals to organization’s strategic goals – No proactive relationship cultivation with elected
officials, regulators, their staffs or key opinion leaders in the community
• GR and Communications aren’t working together • No focused way they talk about the organization or its
goals and accomplishments
![Page 11: The Rise of Hospital Government Relations 2-26-15](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d59e7ebb61eb85778b461a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Endangered Species
• Thankfully, Bob is an endangered species • Hospitals and health systems across the country are –
smartly – rethinking how they invest in, staff and structure their GR departments
• Up until last year, however, there were no tools to evaluate one’s program to see how it stacked up against its peers
• So, we embarked on a nationwide survey to compile data from hospital and health system GR leaders about their departments

Insights
• GR efforts have never played a more critical role in the success of a hospital or health system than they do today
• GR leaders must figure out how to measure ROI for their departments
• Hospital and health system leadership must recognize the importance of GR, invest in it wisely and welcome the team to the leadership table
• The key to success will be having an established program before your organization needs anything
