The COVID-19 pandemic was a black swan event that, combined with other global issues, warrants organizational self-examination, re-thinking and re-alignment of local strategy, partnerships and operations in concert with the global agenda—sustainable development goals. Among the many lessons to harvest from the confluence of global health challenges is the fundamental premise that we—our local communities—are part of one global community.

The top challenges cited by hospital CEOs—workforce, value (margin plus performance) and behavioral health—all have deep global connections. Worldwide digital communication and learning technology, supply chains, war and viruses (both disease and cyber) all intimately connect us and health in ways that were previously not as apparent, impactful or urgent. Our organizations’ connections to global issues transcend traditional health dimensions of space/geography, time/generations, industry sectors and cultures/norms. The veil over the line-of-sight connection between local health decisions and global health security has been lifted.

In short, health is global—and so is healthcare.

So what’s a CEO of a healthcare organization to do differently? What questions should health leaders be asking of their board, team and community members?
