Strengthening Leadership Presence: Inspiring and Engaging Employees in Times of Constant Change Through Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence
Aug 27, 2018 7:30am ‐ Aug 27, 2018 9:00am
Identification: CMB1
The increasing demands on CHC leadership in this time of historic change require leaders to be more resilient, innovative, and focused. Yet the expectations of leaders remain the same: inspire and develop your staff, make decisions, and produce results. The challenge in community health care leadership is as much about emotional intelligence and connection as it is about strategy and the bottom line. Today’s leaders must continually find the right balance between these two extremes on the fly, and in relationship with their colleagues. Leaders that figure this high-wire act out engender loyalty, engagement, and lead teams that thrive and achieve success. The difference boils down to how a leader shows up as a human being while leading in times of historic change and uncertainty. In a word, it is presence. Leaders with greater presence report they are more available, attentive, and empathic with their colleagues, which generates improved results, job satisfaction, and well-being for themselves and their teams. These are not soft skills. Mindfulness and emotional intelligence are being integrated into MBA and leadership schools and many Fortune 500 companies. In this interactive and experiential workshop, the presenters will lead participants to build skills that develop their own leadership presence and understand why it is a must-have for modern leaders.

Requirements for Grants Management and Financial Systems
Aug 27, 2018 7:30am ‐ Aug 27, 2018 9:00am
Identification: CMH1
The Bipartisan Budget Agreement of 2018 added language to the Section 330 authorizing act which specifically requires health center grantees to have written policies and procedures to track and account for federal funds. In addition, the OIG Work Plan for 2018 includes a project to select HHS grantees, with multiple funding, to determine if their cost allocation systems and associated documentation comply with federal requirements. These and similar actions of the federal government reflect a renewed interest in how grantees assure that federal funds and associated program income are being used as Congress intended. It is, therefore, very likely that HRSA and other funding sources will more closely scrutinize health center grantees and the policies that they have in place in 2018 and beyond. So, what are the rules regarding financial systems and records that your health center should have in place? Cost allocation requirements? High-risk areas? Leading legal and financial experts in the field will discuss these topics and more with a focus on staying compliant in these changing times.

Creating an Engaged and Accountable Culture
Aug 27, 2018 7:30am ‐ Aug 27, 2018 9:00am
Identification: CMK1
When health care organizations hold themselves and their employees accountable, they learn from mistakes and continuously improve operations. Creating an engaged culture, driven by accountability, improves provider-patient trust, reduces the misuse of resources and helps organizations provide better quality care and achieve organizational results. Accountability and engagement start at the top and are cascaded to frontline employees. Effective performance management strategies can help identify operational strengths and opportunities for improvement. The outcomes of an organizational accountability program are experienced by the communities served. In this era in which high-performing organizations are given a leg-up, accountability is a significant factor in future viability and growth. This session will focus on key best practices to help leaders create and sustain accountability throughout their organizations. Chief executives from four community health centers throughout the country will share tactics they have successfully executed to achieve: (a) effective board leadership; (b) rigorous performance standards; (c) organizational goals with effective scorecards and follow-up; (d) successful leadership evaluation processes; (e) impactful Quality Impact Teams (QITs); (f) effective communication; and (g) improved employee engagement. Participants will walk away with tools and tactics they can implement immediately -- to take their health centers from good to great!
