Career

Early career

Following his graduation from college in 1973, [5] Studer spent ten years as a special education teacher at George S. Parker High School in Janesville, Wisconsin, and Harvard High School in Harvard, Illinois. [6] [7] After attending counseling for alcoholism, Studer began to work with teens with drug and alcohol problems, which led to his entry into the healthcare field in 1984. [8] [9] In 1987, he became director of marketing for Mercy Hospital in Janesville, Wisconsin. [7] He later served for three years as senior vice president of business development for the hospital. [2]

In 1993, Studer became the COO of Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, which was facing severe financial challenges. Holy Cross CEO Mark Clement assigned Studer the task of improving patient satisfaction. Studer used management techniques focused on raising patient satisfaction through improvements to conditions for employees. The hospital's patient satisfaction rose from 3 to 73 percent in six months and improved financial results. Hospitals & Health Networks & American Hospital Association named Holy Cross "Great Comeback of the Year". [2] [10]

Hospital executives from around the country began coming to Holy Cross to assess their performance and hear Studer speak about the progress made at the hospital. One of the organizations that came to Holy Cross to hear Studer speak was a team from Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. [2] In 1996, Baptist hired Studer as its administrator and within a year he was named president of the hospital, where he worked to turn around the hospital's finances and improve patient and employee satisfaction. [11] During his time at Baptist, employee turnover rate dropped by 18 percent and patient satisfaction at the hospital rose to the 99th percentile among all hospitals in the US. [12] The results at Baptist led to several awards for the hospital and Inc. Magazine named Studer a "Master of Business". Studer also began taking on more speaking engagements. [2]

Studer Group

One of Studer Group's early clients was Tenet Healthcare. Studer developed Tenet's "Target 100" program, which sought 100 percent patient satisfaction. The endeavor was announced a success within two years and Studer told Fast Company the work brought Tenet's quarterly Wall Street earnings to an all-time high. However, Melissa Davis of TheStreet.com reported that aggressive Medicare billing that was possibly illegal and unethical fueled much of the growth. She also noted that some Tenet nurses were unhappy with Studer's training. [14]

By 2014, the Studer Group had approximately 750 clients. [15] Studer also began speaking to groups outside of healthcare, including small businesses, school districts, and churches. [13] [8] [2]
