Abstract

The International Society of Orthopaedic Centers was formed in 2006 as a think tank that would bring together thought leaders in orthopaedic surgery from major orthopaedic academic centers around the world. The Society's mission is to share knowledge and strategies, improve patient care, and foster clinical, educational, and scientific collaboration. As the Society's agendas developed, the members recognized that many of their aims intersected with those of hospital leadership. Thus, CEOs from member centers were invited to join their physician colleagues at the 2010 meeting in Bologna, Italy in order to explore solutions to administrative challenges related to patient care, volume growth, and costs. This paper describes the dialogue that took place at the meeting.

Keywords: International Society of Orthopaedic Centers (ISOC); hospital CEOs; orthopaedic surgeons
