Needed: C-suite leaders needed to advance cost impact of the librarian study

Posted in: #Health Sciences List

---

Please recruit your C-Suite (CFO/CEO/CMO/CIO/COO) hospital leaders for a 30 minute (max) interview with our health economist, Kari Jones PhD. The conversations with these leaders are crucial in carrying out this cost impact study.

Dr. Jones wants to talk to a chief … about the feasibility of the methodology she has developed and how it may be implemented in the hospital environment from the hospital leadership perspective. She respects the challenging schedules of these individuals and will be very efficient in carrying out the interview. In the phone conversation she will:

• describe the study
• solicit level of interest in the study results
• elicit caveats or limitations on the proposed methodology
• assess preparedness to participate in the study (availability of cost data)

Do you have someone(s) at your hospital or medical center who would be willing to talk to Dr. Jones? We need your help in setting up a phone conversation. Feel free to talk to your chief… about the study, being interviewed, and pass on Kari’s name before you send us the contact information. A description of the study is downloadable from our web site.

What we need from you is:

• The individual to be interviewed: name, title, email address, phone number.
• Administrative person who schedules appointments for the executive: name, title, email address, phone number.

Please forward the information to Claire Hamasu, chamasu@rml4.utah.edu Interviews will be scheduled for April.

Your assistance is enormously appreciated! /ch
