“…Physicians are increasingly called on to lead complex, multidisciplinary teams, [1][2][3][4][5][6] and a lack of leadership skills in the areas of professionalism, systems-based practice, and communication have been associated with patient harm. 7 Thus, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has identified these areas as competencies that should be emphasized in physician training.…”

“…The program is designed to help residents develop new leadership skills, cultivate natural leadership abilities, and recognize how effective leadership can improve patient care. Four guiding principles drove its development: all physicians are leaders, 4,5 strong leadership skills make us better physicians and improve patient care, [11][12][13] leadership skills can and should be taught, 3,14 and gaining acceptance of leadership training is a critical first step toward preparing physicians to lead complex, multidisciplinary teams. 15 This article reviews the structure of the program and the feasibility of creating a program that targets all residents.…”

“…That has changed. In the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US), most hospital chief executive officers (CEOs) are non-physician managers rather than physicians (Horton, 2008;Falcone and Satiani, 2008;Halligan, 2008;Darzi, 2009 (Horton, 2008;Halligan, 2008;Falcone and Satiani, 2008;Darzi, 2009; Candace and Giordana, 2009;Stoller, 2009;Dwyer, 2010).

“…Of the 6,500 hospitals in the US, only 235 are led by physicians (Gunderman and Kanter 2009). It has been suggested that placing physicians into leadership positions can result in improved hospital performance and patient care (Horton, 2008;Halligan, 2008;Falcone and Satiani, 2008;Darzi, 2009;Candace and Giordana, 2009;Stoller, 2009;Dwyer, 2010). The UK has recently established five Academic Health Science Centres (AHSCs).…”

Although it has long been conjectured that having physicians in leadership positions is valuable for hospital performance, there is no published empirical work on the hypothesis. This cross-sectional study reports the first evidence. Data are collected on the top-100 U.S. hospitals in 2009, as identified by a widely-used media-generated ranking of quality, in three specialties: Cancer, Digestive Disorders, and Heart and Heart Surgery. The personal histories of the 300 chief executive officers of these hospitals are then traced by hand. The CEOs are classified into physicians and non-physician managers. The paper finds a strong positive association between the ranked quality of a hospital and whether the CEO is a physician (p<0.001). This kind of cross-sectional evidence does not establish that physicianleaders outperform professional managers, but it is consistent with such claims and suggests that this area is now an important one for systematic future research. 2 IntroductionIn the ...

“…Literature highlights that the main drivers for clinical decision making have always been patients and their needs. However, the more recent evolution of clinical practices and the change in functioning of healthcare organizations made it increasingly important for clinicians to understand the organizational, economic, and qualitative aspects of their choices (Stoller, 2009;Lane & Ross, 1998). Moreover, physicians have to appraise these impacts not only at the single patient level, but also at the whole set of patients level, considering the healthcare organization where they operate.…”

Literature provides many contributions about quality management and quality improvement. A few authors investigated the kind and strength of contribution to quality from physicians and managers. This study investigates the different approaches of physicians and managers towards managing and improving quality within healthcare organizations. Research questions are focused on the existence of any kind of correlation between physicians' and quality managers' skills as regards quality management. Do they work independently or is it possible to find out some relationship between their effort in enforcing service quality. In addition to that, the paper investigates if there is a correlation between organization's characteristic (dimension, ownership, teaching/not-teaching hospital) and quality of services. The study investigates an Italian regional-wide external assessment program (performed by Joint Commission International) focusing on a selection of item/standard related to physicians and quality managers' behaviours. The study did not found significant correlation between behaviours and hospitals' structural characteristics as well as between physicians' managerial behaviours and managers' behaviours as regards to quality. Physicians' and managers' contributions are independent to each other. The influence of managers on clinical behaviours is weak. Quality management depends mainly on people, not on structural elements.
