22. Quint Studer
Leading the leaders
When hospital CEOs need advice, to whom do they turn? One of the most influential healthcare leaders in the county, Quint Studer is devoted to teaching organizations how to achieve sustained focus on service and operational excellence. As founder and CEO of Studer Group, headquartered in Gulf Breeze, Fla., Studer comes equipped with 20 years of healthcare experience - a wealth of knowledge that has helped more than 300 radiology departments turn recruitment and retention from something to worry about into something to brag about.
Studer knows that high staff retention is one of the major keys to service and operational excellence. Happy employees are part and parcel of an excellent hospital and that's why reducing turnover must be a top priority.
"High employee turnover is a symptom of a larger problem," says Studer. "The most satisfied employees work in organizations that have systems and processes in place that are designed to sustain service and operational excellence. Employees are satisfied when patients are satisfied and vice versa. When you consider the fact that most radiology professionals receive calls from professional recruiters at least once a week, you begin to grasp the reality that employee satisfaction is a bottom-line issue. Now, more than ever, we must all make it a priority."
