2014 Fund for Innovation in Healthcare Leadership Education Programs
The 2014 innovations program, “The Journey to Value-Based Care for Population Health: Sharing, Scaling and Replicating to Accelerated Results,” will be led by Stephanie McCutcheon, FACHE, innovation and transformation advisor and principal at McCutcheon & Co. McCutcheon will share the successful value-based journey and innovation/transformation models of four organizations that have accelerated sustainable change.

This half-day program will be offered in conjunction with the Washington, D.C., Cluster on Aug. 11. Full details will be available soon at ache.org/Innovation.
The 2014 ethics program, “Ethical Leadership in Uncertain Times,” will be led by Jack Gilbert, EdD, FACHE, clinical associate professor and director of executive and professional development in the College of Health Solutions and the College of Nursing and Health Innovation at Arizona State University. Offered in conjunction with ACHE’s Salt Lake City Cluster on Oct. 28, this half-day session will explore effective, intentional and practical ways for healthcare leaders to strengthen their organization’s focus on doing the right thing by leveraging challenging uncertainty and their leadership to create practical solutions to ethical dilemmas. A select panel of healthcare leaders will react to Gilbert’s remarks and share their experiences with the ethical challenges and discuss the link between ethical decision making and organizational performance. Full details will be available soon at ache.org/Ethics.
Both programs qualify for ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits.
