John Jurica2016-10-21T11:09:28-05:00

Let’s define clarity as the quality of being understood in an exact way. No issue is more important for the physician executive than achieving and maintaining clarity. Whether with your direct reports, colleagues, or CEO, clarity is needed at every level. Remodeling Fiasco I promised my wife I would arrange to have the wallpaper in our kitchen and laundry room removed. Then those areas would be repainted. I contacted a painter referred to me by a colleague and [...]

How to Lead a Top 100 Hospital

John Jurica2016-11-26T11:56:04-06:00

We all want to be part of an organization that embodies excellence. And as a physician leader, you are a key to achieving that outcome. Nothing satisfies a board more than recognition as a Top 100 Hospital. A few years into my tenure as VPMA, our CEO left to take a new position, and the COO, after a search that included internal and external interviews, was chosen to lead the organization. Shortly after his appointment, he and the board made [...]

The Three Domains of the Physician Executive

John Jurica2016-11-26T12:09:15-06:00

In mid-1999, I was hired as a novice VPMA (vice president for medical affairs) for my new employer, a regional medical center outside of Chicago, Illinois.

And, I consistently read the journal produced by the American College of Physician Executives (now called the American Association for Physician Leadership). I felt modestly ready to assume my new role as a hospital physician executive. My [...]

Not a Good Start I showed up in the small conference room at 1:00 PM as instructed. I had been assigned by the CEO to this multidisciplinary committee. I was the physician representative and liaison to the executive team. The chair had been assigned in a similar fashion and had added this responsibility to her many other duties as a director in the Patient Care Division. When I arrived, there was only one other member present. The chair had [...]

Four New Skills Physician Executives Must Learn

John Jurica2017-01-19T11:02:56-06:00

As I grew into my role as physician executive, it became apparent that there were several new sets that I needed to learn that were not part of my medical training. As a physician, I was trained to obtain a thorough history and perform a physical exam, to formulate a problem list and differential diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan. In so doing, like other physicians, I learned to: Communicate clearly with the patient and/or her family Quickly [...]

Five Steps for the Budding Physician Executive

John Jurica2016-12-09T15:59:14-06:00

Five Steps for the Physician Executve It always seemed to me that my classmates in medical school and residency were more intentional than me regarding their life choices. I generally just rode the wave of the “path of least resistance.” During my first year of medical school, many of my classmates were enrolled in the “Med Scholars” program, which meant they were simultaneously working on their M.D. degrees AND a Ph.D., M.B.A. or J.D. They obviously had [...]
