HEALTHCARE TRENDS 2017
The latest B.E. Smith Healthcare Leadership Intelligence Report explores 11 trends across four high-interest topics including industry, career, workforce recruitment and retention, and leadership. The results of the 2017 Healthcare Trends Survey continue the expansion of scope begun with the 2016 Healthcare Trends Survey. This year’s survey produced input from the broadest leadership representation yet. Survey responses were received from a diverse cross-section of nearly 1,000 healthcare leaders: 32% C-level/President, 17% Senior VP/VP, and 51% Director/Manager. B.E. Smith has analyzed the data and supplemented it with independent research and field intelligence derived from its client practice. The findings were compiled into this report outlining the most crucial trends and issues expected to impact healthcare leaders throughout 2017 and beyond.

Geisinger to add 1,500 new jobs
Following a decade of unprecedented growth, Geisinger Health System has launched a nationwide recruitment effort to increase its workforce 5 percent, by hiring more than 1,500 physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses and support staff.
And that recruiting “will certainly continue to include many positions in the central Pennsylvania region, where Geisinger was founded and has its corporate headquarters,” according to an early evening statement released by Geisinger.
“Caring for more than 3 million patients every year takes a team,” said Julene Campion, vice president of talent management at Geisinger, in a prepared statement. “Every day, our 30,000 employees strive to improve that care. This responsibility has motivated Geisinger to push the boundaries of geography and healthcare innovation, grow its medical specialty and subspecialty offerings, and recruit the best and the brightest for more than 1,500 critical healthcare positions to better care for our patients in the communities we serve.”
Geisinger is seeking candidates for all levels of employment, including administration, clerical, environmental services, food services, laboratory services, information technology, marketing, occupational therapy, pharmacy and research.
In the past year, Geisinger President and CEO Dr. David Feinberg has also instituted a $10 minimum wage across the health system.
