Healthcare Governance Interviews

Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the Vanderbilt Medical Center, one of the State of Tennessee's largest employers, in tandem with its parent organization, Vanderbilt University. Two directors within the Vanderbilt Medical Center were interviewed in relation to their responsibilities, the level of their influence and input into the organization, as well as their general purview of the organization's operations. Comparing the two interviews, the paper concludes that there seems to be a wide disparity in the degree of organizational involvement between these two departmental managers.

Conclusions

From the Paper:

"Vanderbilt Medical Center is budgeting for capital expenses across the spectrum of its operations. In that light, my sense was that not only was Mr. Alvarez apparently given access to the center's top management but he was also a trusted member of its informal advisory committee regarding fiscal policy and management. While his direct departmental responsibilities and tasks were not related to overall center budgeting processes, his input regarding the Medicare/Medicaid payments and services was considered critical to the Vanderbilt Medical Center's ongoing financial viability."
