Managing diversity.

One look at projections for the U.S. work force through the year 2000 shows why healthcare administrators will be facing some new challenges. With the majority of new workers belonging to minority groups, "managing diversity" has become the newest catch phrase as executives work to reduce tensions resulting from race, gender or culture-based differences among workers, while also learning to understand and value those differences.

Research project to test collaboration.

Seven Denver-area hospitals have agreed to consider collaborating on cardiac-care services as part of a research project that could serve as a model for planning high-technology medical services. The hospitals and a private research organization have pledged $320,000 to fund development of a prototype program. But not all hospitals are sold on cooperation, and some have raised antitrust concerns.

VA contracts give unfair advantage to Picker--study.

Service contracts for computed tomography scanners in Dept. of Veterans Affairs hospitals have given an unfair advantage to Picker International, according to a study by the VA's inspector general's office. The report is the latest round in a controversy that has pitted Picker against at least two independent service organizations and enmeshed it in a $1.65 billion lawsuit.

Up and comers: Lt. Cmdr. Robert J. Burg, Maura Loughlin Carley, Pete Delgado, John P. Glaser, Glen Nessel, Kevin Potter, Laura J. Redoutey, Vicki Romero, Nancy Schlichting, Paul Viviano, Greg Wozniak, Lorraine Zippiroli.

Modern Healthcare's 1991 Up and Comers, the fifth annual group, are scattered all over the map, from Boston to the Bay Area, from Flint, Mich., to El Paso, Texas. They work in managed care, associations and specialty hospitals; one even administers the office that cares for members of Congress. At least two are "healthcare brats" whose fathers managed hospitals. One spent time working in a salmon cannery; another was a Peace Corps volunteer in Swaziland. Despite their differences, they share many common traits. They are bright, committed and know how to motivate and involve others. Maura Loughlin Carley, an area administrator for Kaiser Permanente Foundation Health Plans, put it best when she said her goal is to "hire the best people, develop them and keep them happy." They're also committed to seeking new ways to improve healthcare delivery. As Kevin Potter said, "What keeps me humble is that there's so much that I'm learning every day." Each of these emerging leaders is making a mark on the healthcare industry. They were chosen from a field of almost 50 candidates, all 40 or younger, compiled by the editorial staff of Modern Healthcare and readers.
