Schaffer Consulting Panel on Contemporary Healthcare Issues
A focus on the challenges and benefits of physician-hospital system alignment.
As part of Schaffer Consulting's work with health care leaders around the country, we are co-sponsoring a panel on Contemporary Healthcare Issues
with the Yale School of Management and the Connecticut SOM Alumni Chapter.
Our first panel will focus on the challenges and benefits of physician-hospital system alignment. In Schaffer's recent survey of hospital executives
, physician-hospital system alignment was rated as one of the most
important and most difficult challenges facing the industry.
Leading
the panel will be Bruce Cummings, CEO of L&M Hospital in New
London, CT. As CEO of L&M since 2005, and a leader of hospitals in
New York and Maine prior to L&M, Bruce brings deep experience and
insights to the issues facing hospital systems, including that of
physician-hospital system alignment.
Other members of the panel include:

and Public Health, Director of the MD/MBA Program, Director of the MBA
for Executives: Leadership in Healthcare Program & Lecturer in
