{"title":"Closing the Gender Gap in Healthcare Leadership: Can Administrative Fellowships Play a Role?","authors":"Julie Robbins, Brooke Z Graham, Andrew N Garman, Randa Smith Hall, Jeffrey Simms","doi":"10.1097/JHM-D-21-00314","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/JHM-D-21-00314","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Goal: </strong>Although women make up most of the healthcare workforce, they are underrepresented in higher levels of leadership positions. Leadership development programs for early careerists, such as administrative fellowships, have been suggested as one strategy for accelerating gender equity in leadership roles. However, the potential impact of these programs has not yet been the subject of systematic evaluation. In this study, we examined the (1) benefits of administrative fellowship programs on career attainment and (2) differences in attainment by gender.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We completed this study using a data set involving alumni from a consortium of 11 graduate healthcare management programs whose students frequently pursue administrative fellowships. Our data included individual-level demographic and career attainment data for graduating classes from 5, 10, and 20 years prior to the reference year. Using multiple regression analysis, we tested the relationship of three independent variables-graduation year, gender, and completion of a fellowship-on career attainment. This analysis enabled us to determine differences in overall career attainment by gender, evaluate the role of fellowships in career attainment, and consider the differential impact of fellowships on attainment by gender.</p><p><strong>Principal findings: </strong>Our findings suggest that fellowship programs accelerate leadership career paths for individual leaders, but that the effect is stronger for males than their female counterparts.</p><p><strong>Practical applications: </strong>These findings not only support the value of administrative fellowships for early careerist leadership development but also suggest that closing the gender disparity gap in leadership may require additional and focused career-supportive strategies. We provide recommendations for healthcare organizations in developing their administrative fellowship programs to help minimize the gender disparity in healthcare leadership positions. Furthermore, we discuss research implications and future areas of research in administrative fellowships.</p>","PeriodicalId":51633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Healthcare Management","volume":" ","pages":"436-445"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40673157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 1,491 patients were examined in the study. Patients who were admitted to nonfederal government (public) hospitals in metropolitan areas of at least 1 million residents with the primary diagnosis of AMI were abstracted. They were excluded if they developed AMI secondary to an interventional procedure or surgery, died during their index hospitalization, and were admitted and discharged on the same day. Patients were also excluded if they were discharged to short-term hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, home healthcare, or against medical advice.

Specifically, I-MR charts showed that LOS decreased between 2010 and 2016. LOS appeared to be longer at teaching hospitals compared to nonteaching hospitals and varied by gender. Female patients appeared to stay longer than male patients in the hospitals.</p><p><strong>Practical applications: </strong>The application of SPC and control charts can facilitate improved decision-making in healthcare organizations.
