Dr. Ohlhauser, physician, medical administrator and consultant, offers clients strategic insights into their operations. After running a successful medical practice in Drumheller, Alberta, he worked with the College of Physician and Surgeons of Alberta for 20 years – the last 12 years as Registrar and CEO. Today he is President and CEO of Ohlhauser and Associates, a consulting firm specializing in healthcare strategy and management consulting for large multinationals, corporations and government institutions.
Dr. Ohlhauser has a passion for inspiring individuals to take responsibility of their own health. He chaired the Health Reform Implementation Team, created to implement the recommendations of the Mazankowski report in 2002. He brings a strategic view to the issues facing health care delivery by looking for systemic solutions focused on the patient. Transformation rather than reformation of the healthcare system must be considered when looking at sustainability of our system. “More energy must be directed to the “why” then the “how” when developing strategies for improving our public healthcare system,” he said.
Dr. Ohlhauser has recently received the Alberta Centennial Medal in recognition of outstanding service to the people and province of Alberta, and has recently been named “one of the Top 100 Physicians of the Century” by the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Alberta Medical Association.
Whether
he is piloting jet airplanes, consulting large institutions, speaking
publicly to hundreds of executives, or hitting a golf ball out of the
sand, Dr. Ohlhauser infuses life with energy, with purpose and with
intense satisfaction.
He is author of a forthcoming book entitled The Healthy CEO, which uses his proven concepts of goal setting and outcome measurement to address the unique health challenges facing executives.
