Signature Event – The World of Medicaid, October 24, 2016

Matt Salo will discuss trends and issues in the Medicaid world, ranging from the ACA’s Medicaid expansion to the increased reliance on managed care to transform operation of the nation’s largest health insurance program. Key topics affecting Medicaid Directors include delivery system and payment reforms intended to redirect the US health care system away from uncoordinated fee for service and towards a system that rewards value over volume. States across the country are facing similar issues ranging from the opioid crisis to the high cost of specialty pharmaceuticals. Medicaid is increasingly becoming a public-private partnership and state government structures and resources need to evolve in order to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.Full Video

 Spotlight Event – Patient Preferences: Predictably Irrational, August 11, 2016

People don’t always act rationally, especially when it comes to decisions about health and wellness. Why else would we skip our medication or choose that piece of pizza over a fresh salad? Behavioral economics seeks to understand how we make decisions, and what motives and incentives influence decision-making. When healthcare professionals can understand patient choices and preferences, they can begin to reduce the use of low-value services—services that provide little or no benefit to patients and can even cause harm. Behavioral economics allows for more efficient policies, which is much welcomed in an industry with continuing turmoil. Full Video

 Signature Event – The US Chamber Returns! April 21, 2016

Spotlight Event: Clinical Integration – March 21, 2016

In order to create care that is safe, effective, efficient and patient-focused, clinical integration is needed to ease the coordination of patient care across conditions, providers, settings, and time. By promoting changes in provider culture, redesigning payment methods and incentives, and modernizing federal laws, clinical integration is achievable.

On March 21, both national and local authorities representing acute care, long term care, behavioral, and end-of-life care discuss the impact, issues and implementation of patient care. Come learn how many healthcare networks are reorganizing into Clinically Integrated Networks to improve patient care, while reducing costs.

Revenue Cycle Management: October 22, 2015

PREVIEW: Hospitals and health systems today face formidable challenges due to changing payer mix, increased patient responsibility, and complex payment models coupled with cost pressures. The heightened focus on the transition to value-based reimbursement models and improved patient experience, has a direct impact on hospital revenues. With healthcare reform making revenue cycle operations more complex, it is becoming exceedingly clear that a robust revenue cycle performance will play an increasingly important role in providers’ financial health. As the healthcare landscape evolves towards a retail healthcare model, hospitals must focus on optimizing revenue cycle efficiency and patient experience at every touch point.   Full Video

PREVIEW: Tort Reform – 8/18/2015

PREVIEW: It’s no secret that Louisville has grabbed the national spotlight as a hotbed for long-term care and aging business. What’s ironic is that not only does the area have the largest concentration of nursing-home and extended-care companies in the nation, it also has the worst environment for these companies in terms of long-term care litigation (as found by an independent 2014 study by AON Risk Solutions).

Tort reform, also known as medical malpractice or legal liability reform, has long been a highly contentious issue in the Commonwealth with devout champions on both sides. It’s an issue that goes far beyond nursing homes and affects every healthcare provider and facility in the state. Although attempts have been made to reform the medical malpractice system, none to date have passed both chambers in Kentucky.

Because of the lack of certain reasonable legal protections for healthcare providers, the state has become a target for out-of-state law firms looking to turn a quick profit. Many healthcare providers operating in the state have felt the pinch from the dramatic increase in lawsuits costing them millions and ultimately leading to their exit from the state. Full Video

PREVIEW: Stark: The Stark Truth to an Imperfect World – 7/15/2015

Featuring Barak Richman PhD, JD, Edgar P. and Elizabeth C. Barlett Professor of Law and Business Administration, Duke University and
Rene Savarise JD, shareholder, Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman PSC

Medicare has always been vulnerable to fraud and abuse, and Congress has responded with the Federal Ethics in Patient Referrals Act (commonly known as the Stark law) and similar laws that limit how healthcare providers can refer Medicare patients and manage their business. These laws are at the battlefront of curbing Medicare abuse, and enforcement efforts have become more aggressive than ever, with government prosecutors investing substantial resources into prosecutions and securing record-breaking settlements. At the same time, they constrain innovators and often preclude commonsense reform.

This panel reviewed Stark and other Medicare Fraud and Abuse laws and described what they mean both for Medicare and for healthcare providers. The panel also discussed how significant efforts to reform Medicare payment strategies, including those implemented under the Affordable Care Act, relate to these laws and what they implicate for their future. Full Video

BIG DATA. It’s big alright – occupying terabytes, petabytes and even exabytes of memory. (An exabyte of storage could contain 50,000 years’ worth of DVD-quality video.) With all of this data, we are quickly becoming a “data driven culture.” Healthcare is no different. Providers are either at the starting line or knee-deep in using this wealth of information to improve patient safety and care while also saving their organizations substantial costs. In fact, in a recent PwC study, 95 percent of healthcare CEOs said they were exploring better ways to harness and manage big data. Full Video

PREVIEW: Telehealth? Telemedicine? E-health? What’s the connection? What’s the value? – 5/9/2014

PREVIEW: Retail Health: A Solution to the Provider Shortage – 10/31/2013

Before 2009’s H1N1 pandemic, virtually no pharmacists were administering flu vaccines. Fast forward three years and 5.5 million patients received flu shots in Walgreens’ retail settings alone. According to nationally-renowned Princeton University economist, Uwe Reinhardt PhD (and past HEN speaker), retailers identified a niche “that needed to be filled, and they filled it” with an option, no less, that many consumers find convenient, affordable and accessible.

Now in 2013, retail clinics are sprouting up in nearly all major, retail, super-chains from Walgreens, to Wal-Mart. In fact, nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population lives within a 10-minute drive of some type of retail clinic. Adding to the convenience factor and short waiting times are the cost savings to both consumers and health insurers. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota noticed such cost savings ($1.2 million) that the company eliminated co-pays for enrollees who used retail clinics.

Shortage of primary care physicians and its impact on access to care has also added to the rapid growth of retail clinics. Seventy percent of Americans report that they are unable to get same-day appointments with their primary care physicians while 30 percent lack a regular source of primary care altogether. And the growing shortage doesn’t seem to be letting up with the Association of American Medical Colleges predicting a shortfall of 29,800 primary care physicians by 2015 and 65,800 by 2025.

PREVIEW: Evidence-Based Design featuring Craig Zimring PhD – 9/5/2013

The Health Enterprises Network (HEN), in partnership with Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman, PSC, presented the next installment of the Healthcare Spotlight Series’ Quality and the Bottomline entitled Evidence-Based Design with Craig Zimring, an environmental psychologist and professor of architecture and psychology at Georgia Tech. The event, was held at Office Environment Company, on September 5 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.

Evidence continues to mount that the physical environment of a healthcare facility can contribute to the safety and quality of the care given and even the patient’s perception of the care. Evidence-based design, as it’s called, is increasingly becoming a part of many hospital and healthcare providers’ integrated improvement strategy plans as they seek to measurably enhance the care they provide as well as the perceptions of that care by patients, families and staff. Full Video

PREVIEW: Population Health Management, A Healthcare Spotlight Event – 5/29/2013

One of the latest buzzwords in healthcare reform, population health management or PHM, is aiming to shift the focus in healthcare from rewarding quantity to rewarding quality and from clamoring for volume to obtaining value. Defined as the discipline of managing the clinical and financial risks of a defined group of individuals, population health programs are on the rise as more companies build partnerships and share responsibility for patient outcomes and satisfaction, data collection and analysis, member education and engagement and at-risk populations.

Some of the topics that will be addressed during this event include:
• Key concepts in population management and complex care management
• The relevance of the concept of a “medical home”
• The necessary partnerships needed to fully implement population management and the need for heavy reliance on data
• How access to efficient and consistent care is key
• Changes in technology and data management to reduce healthcare costs; the role of the physician
• MD2U’s nurse practitioner model in seven states, its real-world successes and the day-to-day operational challenges
• MD2U’s current CMS demonstration project
• Care transition; MD2U’s readmission prevention program

Moderator
• John Stearman, Corporate Program Manager, Baptist Health Systems

Overview of Event
• The sharing of data between healthcare providers is right around the corner. How do we begin the evolution?

A viable, not to mention classic approach to any information systems problem, is INPUT – PROCESS – OUTPUT; it follows chronology and is a time-tested way to approach a data problem. Each step of the process has a technical component, a process component, a legal component as well as a policy side.

This event will look at the multi-faceted issues involved as professionals and hospitals progress towards meeting Stage II criteria. More specifically, discussion will revolve around how data is transmitted, challenges for accepting data, clinical quality measures, where providers are in the Stage I process and how they will transition to Stage II, public health measures and how to report, transitions of care, meaningful use audits and legal issues surrounding risk assessment and patient engagement. Full Video

PREVIEW: “End of Life Care” with Dr. Casarett, Dr. Rotella & Phil Marshall – 11/8/2012

Featured Speakers:
• David Casarett MD MA

Associate Professor in the Division of Geriatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, a faculty member of the Penn Department of Bioethics, and Chief Medical Officer of Hospice and Palliative Care for the University of Pennsylvania

• Joe Rotella MD
Senior vice president/chief medical officer, Hosparus, board certified in hospice and palliative medicine

• Phil Marshall, president and chief executive officer at Hosparus

Benjamin Franklin famously stated “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Although it is true that eventually everyone will die, the way it plays out is much more uncertain. Costs associated with the end of life are staggering with some studies finding that between 20 and 30 percent have no meaningful medical impact. As the topic of health reform is central to our daily lives, the tangential ethical and financial issues surrounding death and dying are also up for rigorous debate. These issues go deeper than money and will perhaps be some of the most complex that our nation faces.

At this event, we grabbled with the tough issues of end of life and the considerations that need to be made, both ethically and financially, in navigating this part of life. Full Video
