2025 Leadership Training Program

An Ounce of Prevention:
Quality Enhancement Through Excellent Credentialing & Privileging

The 2025 Pathways Training Program will focus on quality enhancement through excellence in credentialing and privileging. The aim is to promote quality and patient safety on the front end – through careful upfront assessment and management of areas of concern and prevention/avoidance when those concerns cannot be resolved. We will cover the fundamentals of the credentialing continuum during the course of the year. In addition, each session will hone in on “hot topics” in credentialing that many health systems, hospitals, and medical staffs are attempting to tackle in 2025.

About HortySpringer Pathways

What is Pathways? It’s a training program for hospital and physician leaders who are looking to develop and enhance the skills they need to manage and oversee the hospital’s Medical Staff. Key features:

FOCUSED

Each Pathways Series is focused on a topic – or “theme” – that health system, hospital, and physician leaders have told us is essential and timely. Avoiding the sound bites and consultant-talk that permeate so many leadership training courses that are on the market, Pathways favors a deeper discussion of the topics at hand and take-home tips that can be implemented right away.

INCLUSIVE

Medical Staff leadership does not occur in a vacuum. While the “self-governance” of the Medical Staff is largely the purview of the organization’s practicing physicians, a multitude of individuals and bodies support and oversee Medical Staff activities: Board members, advanced practice clinicians, health system and hospital administrators, quality professionals, medical staff services professionals, HR professionals, executive recruiters, and more! Pathways web-based format allows organizations to finally make Medical Staff leadership training available to all of these individuals, fostering shared understanding and the implementation of aligned and unified policies, procedures, and leadership strategies across the organization.

ACCESSIBLE

Each Pathways webinar has been designed to require a minimal-to-moderate time commitment and to allow training to be completed from the comfort of your own home or workplace. With four 2-hour web-based training sessions spread over the course of several months, participation in the Pathways leadership program means not having to forego leadership development when time for training is limited or travel is difficult or impossible.
