Board & Leadership Retreats
The Reinertsen Group organizes and presents Board and
Leadership Retreats, mainly for hospitals and health
care systems. Typically, the organization’s leadership
uses these retreats to build awareness of quality issues,
to plan for how to approach improving quality, and to
accelerate progress toward results. All of this work
is custom-designed in order to integrate into each organization’s
culture, structure, and strategy, and delivered by James
Reinertsen, M.D., often with the support of other expert
faculty brought together to meet specific needs of clients.

Seminars & Workshops
The Reinertsen Group designs and delivers educational
seminars and workshops for state hospital associations,
health systems, and other large groups that wish to build
the capability and capacity of board, executive and physician
leaders to lead quality improvement. In these seminars,
participants learn about what leaders do to achieve quality,
and more importantly, how they do it.
Long Term Relationships
James L. Reinertsen enters into 1-5 year agreements
with a small number of health care systems, with the
aim of initiating and accelerating the transformation
of each organization’s culture, systems, and structures
for quality. Through mentoring, coaching, in-depth site
visits to improvement teams, Board retreats, teleconferences,
and other mechanisms, Dr. Reinertsen becomes something
like an additional member of the executive team, with
an outsider’s perspective, and a national/international
set of resources to draw on to address specific issues
and problems. The nature of the engagement requires that
the principal “client” within the organization
be the CEO, and the demanding time commitment of these
types of engagements limits the possible number to a
handful each year.
