Healthcare often epitomizes the “data rich, information poor” conundrum. Our industry certainly has an abundance of information – but some providers still fail to derive timely, standardized, actionable insights from it. One of the areas where this is most pronounced is in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
SOLVING THE ACTIONABLE DATA CHALLENGE IN LONG-TERM CARE INFECTION PREVENTION
In this video, Khadija Poitras-Rhea, Assistant VP of Population Health, discusses UConn Health’s recent experience leveraging the Rising Risk solution to easily coordinate post-discharge patient workflow and increase their ability to identify emerging high-risk patients within their clinical workflows. UConn Health increased their transitional care management capture rate by 300%, which helped significantly increase the quality of care for the patients and generate more revenue for the organization.

When it comes to cancer diagnostics and patient care, clinical adoption of molecular testing is on the rise, yet the rate of adoption is often outpaced by the rate of innovation in the space. To fully realize the benefits of this advancing field and provide patient care at scale, however, hospitals and health systems must create a comprehensive precision oncology program.

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!

Mark Fleming Senior Director, Electronic Prior Authorization, Change Healthcare
As a provider organization, you are acutely aware of the challenges that come along with prior authorization while at the same time the vital role they play in patient care. Today, the complex and manual authorization process can take up to 33 minutes for providers to complete causing administrative burden and delays in patient care. Join Change Healthcare’s Mark Fleming, Senior Product Director for Prior Authorization, in a conversation around the landscape of prior authorization today, what the future for prior authorization looks like and how we get there as an industry. He will discuss how intelligent automation like RPA, AI, ML is necessary to reduce the manual burden to your staff while at the same time being able to work by exception. For those authorizations that cannot be automated, and to help alleviate Covid related staffing shortages, strategic services are an important part of your workflow for a full end-to-end prior authorization process. Solving for prior authorizations will require interoperability and the industry to adopt standards like FHRI, HL7 and Da Vinci. You won’t want to miss this session and gaining a better understanding of how you stack up with other providers around authorization and what you can be doing today to position yourself ahead for the future.

In the face of unprecedented procedural backlogs, staff shortages, and heightened awareness of hospital-acquired infection, healthcare institutions will need to adopt infrastructure that enables more efficient care that also guarantees patient safety — all while lowering costs. Another strategy will be to eliminate, where possible, time- and resource-intensive processes. A transition to single-use endoscopy eliminates risk for patient cross-contamination and increases patient throughput in a cost-effective way. Single-use endoscopes, with their portable display units, set up in a fraction of the time as legacy endoscopes, do not require sterile processing between uses, and eliminate the need for costly repairs. When all the benefits of single-use are considered — including streamlining operations, improving workflow and efficiency, enhanced reimbursement structures, clinically integrated supply chains, and reducing cross-contamination and patient infection risk — it is the cost-effective solution. In this featured session, we'll explore: • Revenue challenges and opportunities • Fixed vs. variable costs and cost management • Achieving new workflow efficiencies • And much more

Over the past several years, pharmacy leadership has been called upon to provide an increasing role in the care continuum. These areas include ambulatory care clinics, hospital at home, long term care, and behavioral health. As pharmacy leaders seek to ensure medication safety and security in the acute care setting and across this care continuum, adequate management of the associated inventory is a critical factor for consideration. This panel discussion includes pharmacy leaders who have adopted centralized medication management to solve many of these challenges, while tracking key performance indicators to measure their improvements. The panelists will discuss how the application of technology to support pharmacy inventory management has allowed their teams to improve efficiencies and streamline workflows.

Becker's 12th Annual Meeting will be planning to return to the Hyatt Regency in Chicago after exclusively going virtual for the previous year's meeting. 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. Join executives from Geisinger, Atrium Health and Intermountain Healthcare, among other leading organizations, for panel discussions and keynote interviews covering the most pressing issues facing hospitals and health systems today. Whether in person or from a distance, join us again for this important annual event.
