Compliance with The Joint Commission’s 2009 leadership standards requires an understanding of how intertwined the concepts are with a hospital’s everyday activities. “When we really think about it, the leadership things really form the foundation for everything else,” said Ken Rohde, senior consultant for The Greeley Company, a division of HCPro, Inc., in Marblehead, MA, at the 3rd Annual Association for Healthcare Accreditation Professionals Conference, which took place May 14–15 in Las Vegas.
“If you have weaknesses in your leadership area, it’s going to manifest itself everywhere,” said Rohde. Strong leadership in the hospital setting is imperative to not only surviving, but thriving in today’s world of changing values, regulatory issues, and economic climate, he said.
