Title: CEO Interesting projects: The staff at Courage Center impress me every day with their dedication to our clients and mission and their drive to keep innovating. The Governor’s Task Force on Health Reform is pushing the conversation forward in Minnesota to how we can achieve the Triple Aim for all people in the state. The recent Innovation Award from CMS for our health care home serving people with disabilities was a great point of pride and illustrates what’s possible with reform. Biggest challenges: The last few years’ “perfect storm” of federal and state cuts to payments, insurance coverage reductions, and a simultaneous drop in charitable giving. The old financial models don’t work and new ones haven’t yet arrived for the populations we serve. Bridging that gap is challenging, but essential.
Title: President and CEO Interesting projects: Working with our 145 member hospitals and 17 health systems to influence and implement state and federal laws for health care reform. In addition, working with our members to improve quality and patient safety has resulted in Minnesota being recognized as a national leader. Biggest challenges: The absolute need to transform health care payment and delivery to generate more value for patients and communities, while maintaining access to excellent care throughout our state. Hospitals and health systems are in transition, trying to maintain successful performance in the current fee-forservice world while building the infrastructure for success in a more risk-based, global payment system.

Title: President and CEO Interesting projects and biggest challenges: Working on health reform has been the most interesting and challenging part of my career in the last four years, first at the Minnesota Department of Health and now at ICSI. Working on all three parts of the Triple Aim (improved population health, improved experience of care including quality, and improved affordability by decreasing per capita costs) has been gratifying. One challenge is how we bring the wisdom of clinicians together with the wisdom of patients and community stakeholders to design our future. Bold physician leadership will co-create roadmaps to a sustainable future for health care and healthy communities.
Title: President and CEO Interesting projects: Our litigation support program. When physicians are sued, their competency and integrity are challenged; it is often life-changing. Physicians don’t often seek support, so we developed a program where an experienced psychiatrist reaches out to all policyholders who are sued, to talk and offer ways to cope and prepare for the added stress of a trial. Biggest challenges: The litigation support program shows that support combats stress. However, stress is not limited to litigation. This year we hired our first chief medical officer, Laurie DrillMellum, MD. She will create physician wellness programs to reduce and manage the multiple stressors physicians face.
