The 2010 edition of the HealthLeaders Media Industry Survey for Marketing Leaders is now open online. This annual survey reveals a host of information about the healthcare industry in general and healthcare marketing in particular. And in the following years we'll be benchmarking questions such as what leaders consider their top priorities and how they assess key marketing initiatives. We also have some new questions this year—so make sure to speak up and be heard. The survey of healthcare professionals should take about 14 minutes to complete. [Take the Survey Now]

Although the gardens don't add a service in the economic sense, both patients and employees have better experiences because of them, he says. [Read More]

Panelists at HealthLeaders Media '09: The Hospital of the Future Now conference in Chicago tackled this topic on Thursday, and offered five strategies for attracting the talent of the future, starting with "define your values." Organizational values only take hold if they are internalized throughout the workforce, HealthLeaders Media Editor Elyas Bakhtiari reported from the event. "Values are the foundation of everything else," said panelist Joe Tye, CEO of Values Coach, a firm that helps hospitals with values-based leadership and cultural transformation. [Read More] |
