Just heard about this. Beth Israel Deaconess President and CEO Paul Levy has started his own blog this past August. Click here to see it. He weighs in on weighty topics such as single payer (he’s against it) and SEIU 1199′s union drive (he’s not wild about that either). He draws a fair number of comments, though not many from critics. Worth checking out. Maybe he’ll kick off a trend among other hospital CEOs.

Paul,
Hopefully you remember me (MWRA, PMD pier projects manager). I am still interested in the environment especially as it relates to energy use. I know you are very much involved in other issues at this time. Hopefully, you may still have the time to briefly discuss this topic with me.
More specifically I have a management plan for overall US energy independence/conservation/ environmental protection. I have looked into the functions of FERC, the Dept. of Energy and legislation passed under EPact and find that there is a lack of direction and funding to achieve energy independece and environmental protection. The strategy I propose includes a means of providing funding without new taxes, affordability for people with low income, perception of fairness, accountable funding lockbox, reasonable administration costs using mostly existing institutions, separation of administration from politics, and program flexibility.
I know the above seems like a pretty grandiose management scheme but I have discussed it with a number of professionals and it has generally been well received. If you have the time, I would like to discuss it briefly with you and seek your advice regarding its merits.

Thanks for mentioning this, HCFA. I hope SOMEONE will post something critical or controversial or provocative. So far, I have only heard from friends, and they are being too nice!
