    How Leaders at High-Performing Healthcare Organizations Think About Organizational Professionalism
    (Cambridge University Press, 2024) Agris, Julie L.; Gelmon, Sherril; Wynia, Matthew K.; Buder, Blair; Emma, Krista J.; Alasmar, Ahmed; Frankel, Richard; Medicine, School of Medicine
    This pilot study is the first formal exploration of the concept of "Organizational Professionalism" (OP) among health system leaders in high-performing healthcare organizations. Semi-structured key informant interviews with 23 leaders from 8 healthcare organizations that were recipients of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) or Baldrige-based state quality award programs explored conceptualization, operationalization, and measurement of OP. Further exploration and understanding of OP in healthcare organizations has the potential to establish and sustain professional and ethical organizational cultures that bolster trust through the sound implementation of laws, policies, and procedures to support the delivery of high-quality patient care.
