your ANNUAL MEETING

The traditional healthcare model is being challenged by large, innovative companies who are developing the capability for a more convenient, contemporary, high-tech healthcare experience. To remain relevant in this far more demanding environment, legacy healthcare systems need to learn from these new entrants and improve cost structure and remove the “friction” in the healthcare experience.

This session will identify characteristics of new healthcare competitors; describe ways in which these competitors pose a threat to legacy providers; and identify key strategic challenges for legacy providers to remain relevant.

Commitment to Zero Harm: The Journey to High Reliability

Target Audience: Physicians, CNOs and Nurses at all Levels, Quality Directors/Managers and Risk Managers

Faculty: Michael Shabot, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Memorial Hermann Health System, Houston, Texas

Although high reliability is clearly possible in complex industries, the question remains how and if it can be achieved in healthcare. Unfortunately, traditional quality improvement methods do not lead to high reliability. This presentation will teach the requirements for starting on a high reliability journey and the tools to achieve it over time. The critical importance of leadership commitment will be dis-cussed, along with involvement of key stakeholders, the tools of robust process improvement and the business case for high reliability. Sustainability is the major goal, and that can occur only if the organiza-tion’s culture changes. Attendees will take away specific, concrete and practical tools they can put to immediate use in the quest for high reliability.

Michael Shabot, MD

Cecilia Velastegui, MA, Supervisor Equal Opportunity Specialist, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, Southwest Regional OfficeMedical devices are growing globally by an average 20% per annum. The number of network connected IoT devices in hospitals continues to grow as auto-mation and outsourcing helps to cut costs and drive efficiency. Combined, these largely dumb devices far outnumber the managed workstations, laptops and servers that IT attempts to secure against a growing tsunami of global cyber threats.

A number of recent incidents concerning the security of medical devices, device recalls and increased public concern, has led to revised guidance from OIG, FDA and others including increased scrutiny by OCR of HIPAA risk assessments of medical devices and critical hospital non-IT systems. Many covered enti-ties and BAs are totally unaware of this requirement and will likely fall foul of the HIPAA Security Rule.

This session will explore IoT, Third Party Risk, and hot topics around OCR audits and investigations. The focus now has to be on the AVAILABILITY of critical healthcare systems rather than just the confidentiality of the data they store or process.

HOT TOPIC LUNCHEON A – Fulton Room (SHCC)

The Science of Leading with Emotional Intelligence

Target Audience: CNOs and Nurses at all Levels, Quality Managers/Directors, Physicians, Risk Managers, Case Managers, Social Workers and Patient/Family Engagement Staff

Faculty: Sara Ross, Vice President, Head of Innovation, Research and Training, Institute for Health and Human Potential (IHHP), Canada

When working in high pressure environments like a healthcare setting, it is essential that people can bring their “best self” to work daily. Surprisingly, the biggest obstacle to doing this isn’t a lack of expertise and technical skills, but instead, the strengthening of emotional intelligence (EI) skills. A set of skills critical to making good decisions, managing time and energy, adapting to changing environments and key to creating strong connections.

Whether a formal leader or not, this session will offer insights and actionable strategies by examining the science behind emotions. Building on cutting-edge research from positive psychology and neuroscience, Sara will teach you how to manage difficult emotions (and people), as well as how to more effectively and regularly leverage positive emotions.

Sara will draw on real-life examples from her coach-ing, training and consulting work across a diverse set of industries, as well as research conducted at IHHP helping audiences to:

leadership and performance.

Panel:Bill Brookshire, Co-founder, Vines Brookshire, Little Rock

Todd Nighswonger, Senior Media Relations and Communications Specialist, Mercy Hospital, Fort Smith

It’s no secret that healthcare marketing for many has moved away from traditional media and embraced all things digital because it better targets patients/potential patients and is more easily measurable. The missing piece has been tracking and measuring how marketing and PR efforts result in patient acquisition/retention. This panel will provide ideas and best prac-tices that result in patient growth. There will be time for a Q&A discussion for others to share what they’ve done to solve the patient acquisition dilemma.

COAs showing 1.5 Clock Hours will be provided.

John Ryan, Arkansas Total Care

The Provider-led Arkansas Shared Savings Entity (PASSE) is a new model of organized care that will address the needs of certain Medicaid beneficiaries who have complex behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disabilities service needs. Under this unique organized care model, providers of specialty and medical services will enter into new partnerships with experienced organizations that perform the administrative functions of managed care. Together, these groups of providers and their managed care partners will form a new business organization called a PASSE. This organized care model is designed to achieve savings over a five-year period in the overall effort to “bend the cost curve” of Medicaid and help the program become sustainable.

This panel discussion will provide healthcare execu-tives an understanding and tools to address the various needs of the population in the community and factors that influence the financial status of the organization.
