Team leadership
Achieving results through the power of teams

Healthcare is a team endeavour. While this has always been the case, the current system provides additional impetus for understanding and ultimately leading complex teams. Team attributes are multifactorial however, with each unique group requiring a unique leadership approach. Leaders must be responsive and dynamic.

#CCHLDifferenceMaker: Share your story / #CCLStransformateur : partagez votre histoire

(Le texte français suit.)

This fall, the College is launching the #CCHLDifferenceMaker campaign aimed at recruiting new members, engaging current members, and expanding our brand’s reach. The heart of the campaign revolves around sharing members’ stories in hopes of reaching and inspiring new audiences. Not only is the #CCHLDifferenceMaker campaign an opportunity to engage potential and existing members, but it’s also our opportunity to have a broader conversation about the purpose and importance of the profession of health leadership.

Through member engagement we will share stories about the difference makers in our leadership community and the difference making initiatives that they work on every day.

We want to hear from you! 

Removing barriers to membership: Introducing the College’s graduated entry fee / Supprimer les obstacles à l’adhésion : introduction du nouveau droit d’adhésion progressif du Collège

(Le texte français suit.)

The College Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Chapter Advisory Council, is pleased to announce the approval of a 3-year graduated entry fee for all new Active Members beginning October 1, 2017.

The new graduated entry fee will be launched in coordination with our #CCHLDifferneceMaker campaign, and will help remove membership cost as a potential barrier to membership, especially for students completing their programs and leaders early in their career.

The decision recognizes the importance of growing the College’s Active membership base to offset declines in Active Membership levels associated with retirements of long-standing Active Members. Offering a graduated entry fee is new for the College but reflects a practice used by other associations, such as the American College of Healthcare Executives, to promote membership growth.

Why belong: The value of College membership redefined / Les raisons d’appartenir : la redéfinition de la valeur du Collège

(Le texte français suit.)

We know that mentorship, professional development and knowledge exchange are a few of the most valued benefits of College membership. However, articulating the intangible benefits of College membership has been a struggle. Until now.

We are pleased to introduce our new value proposition. We look forward to sharing the College’s value more broadly starting this fall as part of our #CCHLDifferenceMaker campaign.

July Healthcare Management Forum: All about access - Numéro de juillet du Forum Gestion des soins de santé : tout sur l’accès

The July edition of Healthcare Management Forum is all about access. It addresses when care is rationed to the point where access to medically necessary care, service and products is denied, and how to turn the tide. The Guest Editor is D. Wayne Taylor, founding Executive Director of The Cameron Institute, a not-for-profit think tank specializing in economic, health and social policy issues.

Log into the College web site to read the July edition of Healthcare Management Forum.
