Minneapolis, MN, January 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- James A. Rice, PhD, FACHE, Executive Vice President of the Governance & Leadership Services practice of Integrated Healthcare Strategies today announced the release of results from their new Physician Leader Survey, conducted Summer - Fall 2007. This first of its kind survey, titled Investing in Physician Leadership Development, gathered practical insights from 429 senior health leaders from across the U.S. and is focused on the factors that frustrate and facilitate the effectiveness of physician leaders.

The Survey’s Focus: Improving Performance

Recent developments in the healthcare industry have Boards, CEOs and CMOs focusing on the performance of their physician leaders, prompting them to ask themselves some very important questions regarding:
• The best arrangements to balance all the interactive components required for achieving higher performance
• The best approach to auditing the legality and effectiveness of medical director roles and compensation
• Strategies and systems used by high performing hospital organizations to develop and support successful physician leaders and medical directors
• How to increase the probability of a good ROI from substantial investments in physician leader arrangements

“The level of interest and response to the survey was beyond expectations,” said Rice. “There is clearly a demand for access to information, and support in implementing ideas to improve the performance and value of physician leaders today.”

Integrated Healthcare Strategies designed the survey to assist these leaders in their understanding of the factors that frustrate and facilitate their effectiveness, and includes insights into key physician leader performance issues and potential best practice solutions to help organizations better answer these important questions.
