Becker's Healthcare is planning on a hybrid live + virtual experience for Becker’s Hospital Review 9th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable. Along with the in-person program in Chicago, we will also have a virtual component for those hospital and health system attendees that would prefer to attend from the comfort of their office or home. The virtual program will include at least four streamed sessions from the live conference each day. We will focus on the biggest keynote panels and presentations, along with other terrific provider sessions from top hospitals and health systems. Virtual attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with other featured content, virtual focus groups, and industry expert-led workshops. Attendance for both the live and virtual programs is restricted to providers (those currently employed by a hospital, health system, medical facility, or payer organization). Vendors interested in participating in either event can do so through sponsorship. For more information about exhibiting and sponsoring opportunities, please click here.

Beyond Computer Assisted Coding: How AI Can Advance the Revenue Cycle
Over the last seven years, health systems have looked to computer-assisted coding to reduce denials, master new rules for medical coding and boost revenue cycle performance. But those health systems have either seen a modest level of success or still face obstacles. Health systems — squeezed by revenue pressures from the pandemic, nationwide coder shortages, and more — are now turning to solutions beyond computer-assisted coding. Thanks to artificial intelligence and natural language processing, health systems can come out on top with smarter coding solutions to elevate the revenue cycle.

Additional attendees may register online here. Where can I find information about the event online? You can find the most up to date agenda and other important details on our event website here: Becker’s Hospital Review 6th Annual Health IT + Revenue Cycle Conference What are the event hours? As a panelist, when will I hear from my moderator? (Does not apply to Individual Speakers or Co-Presenters) If you are speaking on a panel, we will connect you with your moderator and other panelists by August 23, 2021. Your moderator will provide you with the panel questions by August 30, 2021 and may schedule a prep-call if they feel it is necessary. Please review the Speaker, Moderator and Panelist Guidelines doc to prepare in the mean-time. As a panelist, what will my role entail? • We encourage you to be very interactive with the panel and the audience. We ask that you don't provide a powerpoint as this will be a conversation-only opportunity. We encourage you to engage with other panelists, drive home two to three takeaways for the audience and to enjoy yourself. The moderator should provide you with the questions at least 7-14 days before the event. • The biggest criticism we get on panels is sometimes the lack of takeaway points. So we ask that when you introduce yourself (1- 2 minute introductions), you provide a couple key thoughts on the subject and be cognizant of providing a few takeaways during the panel. As a stand-alone speaker with a presentation, what will my role entail? We are really thankful for you agreeing to spend your time speaking and preparing a presentation. To that end, here are 6 quick thoughts to consider: 1. Prepare and don't wing it. Please put the time in to make sure you do a terrific job speaking. You are all experts in your fields and are speaking in your key areas, so it won't take a ton of time but it is important that you come prepared. 2. Think in terms of giving the attendees 2-3 key take home points of value — if nothing else, you want them to know "x or y" when they leave. Think about what you want your audience to take away from the presentation. 3. Consider looking for ways to add new anecdotes, and new ideas to your presentation. Everyone loves a good story! 4. We find that the best presentations are rehearsed, make sure to go over your presentation at least once before conference day. 5. Aim to teach and entertain. 6. Please limit anything that might be taken as a commercial, or an attempt to sell something. I am moderating a session, what deadlines and information should I be aware of? As a moderator, we ask you to provide questions that will drive the gist of your discussion to the panelists at least 14 days before the event. We would love for you to send 7-10 questions. Please consider setting up a call with your panelists before the conference to help assure everyone is on the same page (this is optional, not mandatory.) At the session we ask you to allow each panelist to introduce themselves and provide 1-2 key thoughts on the subject before the Q+A begins. In the Q+A it's important that all speakers get plenty of chances to talk and each speaker talks no more than 30-90 seconds at a time. We want to avoid any 1 person giving a speech during the Q+A. Generally, it's always helpful to engage the audience for questions as well and we encourage speakers to interact with each other. Any other questions? We are here to help! Please contact Kristelle or Madeline with any questions. We look forward to seeing you in September!

Dick Flanigan Senior Vice President and Brand Ambassador, Cerner
Join Cerner Senior Vice President and Brand Ambassador, Dick Flanigan for a discussion on ethical use of data and AI. He will discuss how, as health systems continue to recover from the pandemic, data use in AI has become top of mind, particularly around establishing an ethical framework and increasing regulation and automation with clinical and revenue cycle. During this session, Dick will be joined by Cerner leaders to discuss how the acceleration of capabilities on the amount of data available can put demands of efficiency for the care workers and managers. Learning points: • Understand the reliance on AI applications for clinical decision support and resource allocation • Understand how the acceleration of capabilities, amount of data available, and demand for efficiency is impacting providers • Learn ways that the use of AI impacts health equity, disparities, and access
Laurie Drill-Mellum MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer, Constellation
New research from Constellation and Candello, a division of CRICO, shows early reporting of patient harm events leads to shorter case life cycle and decreased malpractice expenses, and is critical to the future of care itself. Leaders in risk mitigation and claims hypothesized that when cases that can be reported early are reported early, the outcomes will be better. When cases continued for a longer time period, emotional suffering was prolonged for all involved, and expenses tended to be higher. To validate these observations, Constellation and the Candello team joined forces to evaluate over 31,000 malpractice claims. The research found a statistically significant reduction in both expenses and the life cycle of a case. Please join us to learn more about this important research that is good for your care teams and good for your business.
