Beckwith
Fellows Leadership Program
The
Program
Sponsored by
UPMC’s Beckwith Institute for Innovation in Patient Care,
this comprehensive leadership program focuses on helping hospitals
and health systems meet the monumental challenges that will arise
in health care in the next decade and beyond. To be successful,
health care organizations must act now to develop leaders who are
capable of charting the course for future success.
The Beckwith
Fellows program is unique because it:
- Tailors information
specifically for vice president or aspiring vice president-level
leaders
- Provides
a hands-on approach to maximize learning
- Promotes
a transformational leadership approach to health care and leadership
issues
- Offers executive
mentoring online or by telephone for one year
- Includes
leadership assessments to identify each participant’s strengths
and developmental opportunities
- Develops
skills and uses cutting-edge tools that participants can put into
use immediately (such as Toyota Production Systems principles,
financial tools, and totally computerized performance and productivity
systems)
- Keeps enrollment
fees reasonable and a class sizes small to give each participant
highly individualized attention
- Promotes
effective use of resources — the right amount, at the right
time, for maximum impact
- Focuses
on improving quality, reducing costs, and developing strategies
that impact the bottom line (UPMC fellows’ leadership projects
saved the health system $500,000 in the first two years alone
and identified potential savings in the millions of dollars)
