The COVID-19 pandemic forced health care providers nationwide to adopt clinical practices that align with value-based care, and CMS has made value-based care a priority stating that it is integral to solving physician burnout, health inequities, and lack of affordability. Yet many providers remain hesitant to accelerate their participation in value-based care. Providers remain unwilling to accept downstream risk, fearing the impact on revenue stability and sustainability. In addition, they are concerned about unpredictable effects on revenue, where long payment cycles and annual incentives don’t effectively address the costly nature of managing the care. Finally, and perhaps the biggest barrier is the lack of upfront capital to secure the care team needed to manage the care. Especially now, staffing shortages for wrap-around care, including registered nurses, behavioral health providers, and pharmacists, make it difficult. In this session, we’ll discuss the barriers but, most importantly, the programs innovative healthcare providers are using to thrive in today’s environment through investment, patient engagement, regulations, and partnerships.

• Create stable revenue streams and real-time, actionable patient-level data to create efficiencies that lead to better health outcomes and experiences 
• Organize multi-disciplinary teams around the patient’s medical condition to allow clinicians to practice at the top of their license
•  Implement human-centered tech to free up the valuable time we need to build the doctor-patient relationship

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: The New Now - Reimagining a Healthcare System that Prioritizes Healthy and Happy Healthcare Workers 

Healthcare is feeling the impact of the Great Resignation. A recent report from Mayo Clinic reports that approximately 1 in 3 physicians, APPs, and nurses surveyed intend to reduce work hours and one in 5 physicians and 2 in 5 nurses intend to leave their practice altogether. The need to reduce burnout and improve a sense of feeling valued is needed now more than ever for health care organizations to maintain their workforce post-pandemic. Leaders will discuss the need to change attitudes and culture and what a system that supports clinicians looks like. 

• What does a healthcare system that supports health workers’ well-being look like? 
• What role do gross health inequities, workplace discrimination, and lack of diversity in leadership play in job satisfaction? 
•  How can organizations increase access to high-quality, confidential mental health and substance use care for all health workers? 
• How can health systems improve clinician job satisfaction? 
• What programs and tools support flexibility and better work-life balance and mitigate burnout and feelings of loneliness and isolation? 
• How do you protect your clinical workforce from the impacts of the politicization of science and public health?

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Healthcare Innovation Reboot Part II - If HDO Innovation is a Profession, What Should a Disciplined Innovation Lifecycle (“IL”) look like?

YouTube Video:  https://youtu.be/WchtVvIOt-I

Originally Published: May 23, 2022

We'll close out today with an amazing interview with Dr. Sachin Jain, CEO and President of SCAN Health Plan.  Dr. Jain sits down with our very own Janae Sharp, CEO and Founder of The Sharp Index.  They will lay the framework for our interactive roundtable discussion on innovation at Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs).  We will further explore innovation as a profession and discuss how to define an innovation lifecycle at HDOs. This follow-up session will dive deep into an existing innovation lifecycle ontology and conduct brainstorming and peer reviews of what could be turned into a set of documents and collateral we can use to build HDO innovation into a proper profession and establish a framework for a common set of values, steps, processes, and procedures that can be applied to the HDO Innovation space.

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Automating Accessibility - Improving Patient Experience and Engagement From Intake to Education to Improved Outcomes

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/vVFZ0loNfyc

Originally Published: May 23, 2022

Federal disability discrimination laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and call for equal access to health care services, whether in-person or virtual. It is not only a federal mandate but a moral imperative that we ensure that everyone can access health care. As we reengineer the patient experience to meet consumer expectations for healthcare’s digital experience, taking- an enlightened approach to accessibility is essential. A lot of healthcare communications are still in printed formats. Privacy remains tantamount in healthcare, so some typical accessibility solutions don’t translate well.  In the session, we’ll discuss how to automate the steps it takes to ensure your patient communications are optimized for accessibility from creation to remediation and validation.

• Ensure your printed and digital communications are accessible and in compliance with the latest ADA and Section 508 regulations
• Optimize accessible communications and implement innovations that enhance accessibility to create value 
• Scale repetitive tasks by using template-based solutions that integrate into current workflows
• Eliminate manual remediation during high volume crunch times by ensuring forms and patient documents are right from the beginning

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Harnessing the Power of Automation to Address the Information Blocking Rule and Empower Healthcare Consumers

Original Published Date:  May 23, 2022

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/nMjpfq15oVI

The Cures Act Information Blocking Rule aims to pull down the barrier between Americans and their health data, and have that data delivered electronically in a timely manner. What it means for healthcare consumers is easier access to their electronic health information and the ability to better understand and make more informed choices about their medical care. For healthcare providers, it means meeting stringent new regulatory requirements by Oct 6, 2022. According to the Office of the National Coordinator, over 300 patients, providers, and others have already submitted claims of information blocking through its online portal since April 2021.

In this session, you will hear how providers can prepare to address the new regulations by leveraging the power of intelligent automation.
 

• Opportunities and challenges with patient access
• Innovations related to and enabling access
• Responsible stewardship of personal health information

Today’s healthcare security threats demand new solutions. As more and more organizations move toward the cloud and clinical transformation accelerates at a breaking pace, keeping track of where sensitive data resides becomes increasingly difficult putting increasing pressure on data security teams. No matter how robust your organization's security stack is, vulnerabilities to intrusions still exist. According to a recent Identity Defined Security (IDSA) report, approximately 95% of security breaches are identity-related. Strong identity security is no longer a “nice to have” solution. It is essential. 

• What happens when an organization gets IAM wrong?
• What impact has COVID-19 had on cyber threats? How has it changed your approach to risk management, if at all?
• With cloud transformation rapidly evolving, how do you adapt to identity security in a hybrid world?
• How have you gone about meeting these demands and incorporating them into your existing framework?
• How do you successfully deploy an identity program amidst a cloud transformation?
• What has been the most challenging aspect of rolling out enterprise-wide security across your organization, and what hurdles are you consistently coming up against?

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Innovation Re-evaluating, Reimagining, and Reinventing Healthcare Post Pandemic 

Original Published Date: May 23, 2022

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/1Wwr4C4sLN8

During the pandemic, the rate of innovation in health care increased to levels previously considered impossible. The accelerated pace at which voice, artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and virtual health were adopted can only be sustained if we are disciplined in our focus on innovations that make a meaningful impact on patient experience and outcomes. As leaders shift attention back to aligning financial incentives and reforming the healthcare policies that impact equitable access and quality, we must apply the lessons learned over the last two years to scale innovation quickly to achieve the continued transformation the healthcare system needs. 

How long can healthcare systems continue operating at this new speed? Should they? 

Organizational and patient expectations have changed, does this mean the culture of innovation in healthcare is permanently changed? 

How are health systems leveraging technology to forge better partnerships with independent hospitals and practitioners? 

Innovation in healthcare has always been a matter of life and death, it was only amplified during the pandemic? How do we move forward? 

Innovation techniques and approaches to maximize the value and impact across the organization and the population 

Innovation lived everywhere during the pandemic, who should own it now?
