With health care delivery on a fast pace toward transformation, strong partnerships 
between physicians and hospitals are more essential than ever. Strong environmental forces are pushing the separate clinical and operational management models of today’s hospitals to find new ways to collaborate and create a clinical management structure that addresses the efficient use of scarce resources while maintaining strong clinical quality and patient focus. As integration continues, physicians are being called upon to bring their expertise to bear on the management of the clinical enterprise in collaboration with other hospital leaders.
The American Hospital Association’s Physician Leadership Forum (PLF) together with the American College of Physician Executives held a half-day session in July 2013 to better understand the changing landscape and the leadership competencies physicians will need to be effective partners with hospitals and health systems and move toward a more accountable and efficient health delivery system.
The PLF, as part of its focus to foster strong physician-hospital relations, has sought to identify and encourage leadership development opportunities for physicians. To that end, this report published by the PLF highlights the case for developing physician leaders, identifies characteristics to consider for leadership education programs, and concludes with the proceedings from the PLF’s educational summit in conjunction with the American College of Physician Executives, Physician Leadership: The Implications for a Transformed Delivery System.
