Save the Date: Becker's Hospital Review CEO Strategy Roundtable - Nov. 5, 2014 - Chicago 7 June issue. This is yet another blockbuster issue of Becker's Hospital Re- view. Inside you will find a special section devoted to the 2014 edition of "150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare." The list is bigger than ever, as the 2014 edition is expanded to include not only healthcare providers but also a range of healthcare organizations, from those involved in health IT to payers and consulting firms. The one thing all have in common? They offer diverse workplaces that are supportive of work-life balance, professional develop- ment and education, and employee engagement. We are most pleased to share them with you. The issue's cover story, "What if Medicare Were the Only Payer?" explores what hospitals and health systems would need to change if they were tasked to survive on Medicare reimbursement alone. As more payers shift their rates to resemble those of Medicare, this story is timely and worthwhile. June's cover stories also question the meaning of clinical affiliations between hospitals and health systems and share what nine executives feel to be their best investments. In the June issue, you'll also find stories about CEO tenure, leadership advice, the role of boards in hospital transactions and healthcare in the Cayman Is- lands. We are also pleased to share with you the 25 recipients of the 2014 Becker's Healthcare Leadership Awards. My sincere congratulations to these leaders, each of whom has made an impres- sive array of contributions to their organizations and communities. CEO Strategy Roundtable.
