CEO Message

---

The study of management encompasses a wide area of business and as the size of the entity expands, complexity grows requiring expertise and knowledge in various areas of business. Unique to the rest of the world, Japanese medical law requires Japanese hospital owners to be Japanese licensed physicians. These highly educated, clinically trained physician CEO`s must take full financial responsibility for their hospitals as stock ownership is not allowed under Japanese medical corporation law. While serving as both physician and owner, the Japanese hospital CEO is provided with limited support from experienced management professionals.

For over 20 years I have served as administrative director and turn around specialists for several Japanese hospitals. I have had the opportunity to work with many struggling Japanese physician owner CEOs. The underlying theme from these valuable experiences has been the lack of experienced management support of the physician owner. Compared to other industries, Japanese hospitals have limited systems in place to ensure effective communication between departments to capture the value that exists within the organization.

In management, “human resources”, “infrastructure” and “financial resources” are considered to be the three essential ingredients. How each is prioritized depends on the industry, the corporation and the owner`s vision for the organization. However, in healthcare, the most important is the human resource component. The importance of people effectively working together cannot be overstated considering the direct impact hospital personnel have on the lives of others. To sustain medical services, management`s pursuit of financial profit is essential, as is the further pursuit of individual talent and capacity.

Innovative Healthcare Partners (IHP) is made up of specialists from various business and clinical areas with the experience and knowledge to address “human resource”, “infrastructure” and “financial resource” issues. IHP was established for the purpose of serving as a “complete partner” to Japanese hospital owner CEOs. We are driven to helping hospital owners seeking sustainable growth. We welcome the opportunity to discuss the value that exists within your organization.
