After more than fifty years of educating and developing tomorrow's health care leaders, the Department of Health Care Administration is privileged and proud to be able to point to so many alumni who have made a difference in their organizations and communities through their service with health care organizations.  We are also incredibly proud of the numerous instances in which our alumni are recognized for their excellence, and in recent weeks we've had good reason to celebrate such instances.

Wayne Smith - Chairman and CEO of Community Health Systems (CHS) - and Joel Allison - CEO of Baylor Scott & White Health - were once again named to Modern Healthcare's list of the 100 Most Influential People in Health Care, for the 15th and 12th consecutive years, respectively.  In other news, among the six leaders nationally selected in 2016 for ACHE's prestigious Thomas C. Dolan Executive Diversity Program, we are proud to recognize a Trinity alum: Roxanne Rosa, Executive Director at University Health System.  Additionally, Trey Abshier, CEO of Florida Medical Center, was identified as a "Rising Star" according to Becker's Hospital Review, listed as one of their "50 Healthcare Leaders Under 40" for 2016.  And, most recently, Lynn Falcone, CEO at Cuero Community Hospital who joined the facility in late May, was featured for the positive differences she is already making by promoting and effectively fostering communication throughout the organization.

Congratulations to our alumni in the news; we are proud of the work you do and look forward to more good news to come!

This week our students have enjoyed the annual tradition of traveling to Chicago to attend the American College of Healthcare Executives' (ACHE) Congress on Healthcare Leadership as well as the Trinity University Health Care Administration Department Alumni Association's Dean Duce Award Dinner, which this year recognized distinguished alumnus Bruce Lawrence ('82), President and CEO of INTEGRIS Health.  This cherished ritual offers first-year students a critical experience during the program, through which they are afforded opportunities to bond with classmates, to engage in and learn from ACHE's professional community of healthcare executives, to connect with and celebrate Trinity HCAD alumni, to prepare for Preceptor's Conference with mock interviews, and to experience the city of Chicago.  Current student Camille Fagan put together this great account of her time in Chicago: Earlier this week, all 23 first year on-campus program students attended the American Col

This past week, Trinity HCAD students had the chance to enjoy the annual tradition of attending the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Congress in Chicago. This fun ritual allows first-year students to bond with their classmates, meet and learn from ACHE's community of executives, connect with Trinity alumni, prepare for Preceptor's Conference with mock interviews and experience the city of Chicago. All 23 of the first-year on campus students attended the event along with the Trinity HCAD faculty and a number of the second-year students, who are currently in their year-long residency. There were over 100 education and networking sessions so students were busy meeting with healthcare professionals and graduate students from across the country. Hopefully these connections will turn into friendships as students advance in their careers.  Trinity professor, Dr. Amer Kaissi, won ACHE's Book of the Year for his book Intangibles: The Unexpected Tr

There is so much effort and research activity occuring to better understand our health care delivery system, yet often it can seem either daunting to keep up with the latest news or extremely challenging to access recent findings from high-quality, peer-reviewed studies.  In light of this challenge, we hope to periodically shine a light on recent studies that relate to the important work being done every day in health care organizations across the U.S.  Our aim in these research entries is to regularly bring "bite-size" summaries of meaningful research to busy health care administrators, helping disseminate interesting findings and bring work outside the "ivory tower" to within the walls of health care organizations.  This month's research spotlight comes from a recently published study on the impact of employee engagement. It's a critical issue that continues to find its way into health care industry headlines and remains a key concern for health care l
