How does organizational design influence performance and care consistency across a health system? In this episode, our host Jayme Zage, PhD, is joined by Erika Johnson, Victoria Beal and Vern Herbener from the Vizient Research Institute to discuss their latest study exploring decision-making structures in multi-hospital systems. The team shares surprising findings about centralization, stakeholder involvement and alignment gaps between leaders. They also discuss how systems can rethink governance and structure not just to simplify org charts, but to support strategic goals and deliver more consistent, high-quality care across sites.
