Workshop Sessions

Do You Need Marketing? And, If So, What Does That Mean? Monica Oss, CEO, OPEN MINDS

As the health and human service field moves more and more toward a competitive market-based environment, the question of marketing becomes top-of-mind for most executive teams. But, your marketing needs are dependent on your organizational size and your strategy. Small boutique organizations have different marketing needs than larger organizations. And different services lines and customer types (both payers and consumers) require different approaches to generating organizational revenue. In this information-packed session, OPEN MINDS CEO Monica E. Oss will walk you through the process of creating a map of your organization’s marketing needs, a marketing structure and budget, and how best to manage your marketing function. Key elements of her presentation include:

• Your strategy and your marketing needs • Understanding your functional marketing needs • Creating a marketing budget • Where does marketing fit in your organization

Healthcare Reform and its Impact on the Revenue Cycle – Part One Steve Kohler, CEO, Deerfield Behavioral Health, Inc.

All healthcare providers will feel the impact of healthcare reform. Beginning to prepare now is essential. Understanding the basics of reform and its potential impact on your organization is imperative to future success. Managing key areas of the revenue cycle that have the most direct impact on your organization’s financial success will be essential. Utilizing available information, developing a comprehensive plan and implementing it throughout your organization will help ease the burden of reform. Healthcare reform presents significant challenges in the following areas, all of which have ties and an impact on the revenue cycle:

• Reimbursement reductions • Technological efficiencies • Compliance program effectiveness • Quality of care • New and expanded payment methodologies • Insurance expansion and availability

The presentation will focus on each of these key areas and present ideas and methodologies to effectively prepare and manage these functions.

The Codes They Are A-Changin’ Mark Eversole, Project Manager, The Center for Innovative Partnerships

Moving Forward: Preparing for New Opportunities in SUD and MH Services Becky Vaughn, CEO, State Associations of Addiction Services

Parity implementation and commercial insurance reforms are bringing unprecedented change to the field of addiction and mental health services creating exciting opportunities as well as challenges for service providers.
