Hospital CEO Turnover Rate Increases

CHICAGO, March 10, 2014—Hospital CEO turnover increased in 2013, tracking at 20 percent, according to a recent report from the American College of Healthcare Executives. This is the highest rate reported since ACHE began analyzing these numbers in 1981. The turnover rate in 2012 was 17 percent, and in 2011 and 2012 it was 16 percent. The annual rate has fluctuated between 14 and 18 percent in the decade prior to 2013.

“The increase in the turnover rate may be indicative of a combination of factors, including an increased number of baby boomers seeking retirement, the emerging trend toward consolidation in our industry and the complexity and amount of change going on in healthcare today,” said Deborah J. Bowen, FACHE, CAE, president and CEO of ACHE. “The increase in the rate reinforces the need for healthcare leaders to work with their boards to ensure appropriate succession plans are in place.”

ACHE’s CEO turnover rates are based on changes in an organization’s chief executive officer as reported to the American Hospital Association.

COO and CFO – Pharmaceuticals: In order to create tangible shareholder value it was imperative that we move some pre-clinical compounds into development and find a partner/acquirer; otherwise the company was in significant danger of running out of investment capital.

We undertook a world-wide business development initiative to locate a potential acquirer. We spoke to virtually every major pharmaceutical company worldwide in order to find a suitable acquirer. Through our efforts, we were able to create a bidding war with multiple suitors for these early compounds. Ultimately, the company was acquired in a transaction that was valued at more than $120 million. Having taken what appeared to be a dire situation for the company when the Phase II Trial failed, and then negotiating and structuring a successful exit for the shareholders, was a classic example of turning “lemons into lemonade.”
