Originally Published: Mar 28, 2023YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/cc5bgr2g2KI See what's happening at www.healthimpactlive.com Managing Cybersecurity as Digital Care Transformation, Growing Cyber Threats, and Regulatory Changes Converge Healthcare delivery continues to be driven by the growth of data delivered through wearable and sensory devices. Such devices feed cloud analytic platforms and offer real-time EHR updates that providers and caregivers must be able to access anywhere. Yet, they also allow for more avenues for account and network compromise for threat actors targeting care delivery for ransom. As a result, regulators have increased scrutiny to ensure providers implement best practices to prepare for and respond to cyber incidents and that senior management and Boards understand and mitigate cyber risk. In this session, health system leaders will discuss the following:Understanding the consequences of today's virtual care environment and the changing regulations, especially on clinical workflowHow the current environment impacts the strategic direction of cyber programsKey areas and technologies to invest in today to reduce cyber risksHow to ensure senior management understands how they can help mitigate cyber risk Terri Couts, RN-BC MHA, SVP and CIO, The Guthrie ClinicMatt Phillips, Associate Director Cybersecurity, GuidehouseSteven Ramirez, Chief Information Security Officer, Renown HealthNeil Carpenter, Health Care Innovation & Chief Strategy Officer

Ep 57Tackling SDoH Priority One Scaling Food As Medicine Initiatives in Your Organization
See what is happening now at www.healthimpactlive.com Originally Published: Feb 2, 2023YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/QJbb_9zZW2EAdequate access to nutritious food can help prevent chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease and support physical and cognitive development, particularly in children. However, many individuals and communities, particularly those in low-income areas or rural communities, face significant barriers to accessing nutritious food. According to the USDA, in 2020, an estimated 11.1% of households (14.5 million households) were food insecure at some time during the year. The pandemic has dramatically increased food insecurity and these numbers likely undercount the true extent of it, as they are based on self-reported data. In September of 2022, the White House announced more than $8 billion in commitments to the "Food Is Medicine" (FIM) movement linking nutrition and chronic illness. Through medically tailored meals, groceries, and food assistance (such as produce vouchers), FIM programs provide healthy foods as methods of prevention and treatment. Many health systems and insurers are piloting programs to cover these services just as they would pharmaceutical prescriptions. But what will it take to scale these efforts for broader coverage and system impact? Hear from the pioneers in the Food is Medicine movement on how to scale FIM efforts in your organization.Aligning incentives around value-based care Speakers: Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, MPH, CPH, Senior Director, Research and Evaluation Office of Ambulatory Care and Population Health, NYC Health + Hospitals Jorge Petit, MD, President and CEO, Services for the Underserved (S:US) Dorella Walters, MPA, Sr. Director of Business Development & Community Partnerships,God’s Love We Deliver Dr. Kimberly Noel, MD, MPH, Medical Director, 23andMe

Ep 56Burnout Isn’t the Whole Story – And Repair Is About More Than Individual Resilience
Original Launch: Feb 2, 2023See what is happening now at www.healthimpactlive.com YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/pm0fqWhgOFwStrikes by healthcare workers worldwide, like the one that just ended in NYC, have nearly doubled in the last two years. Many decry severe staffing shortages drive patient safety fears. A recent NY Times article discussed how Ascension created its staffing mess; it doesn't blame the pandemic or the great resignation but targets leadership for bare-bones staffing. It’s true that pre-pandemic staffing practices, which left organizations badly strained by the virus, are partly responsible for the crisis. But it is as much about what Ed Yong wrote in the Atlantic in 2021, “Healthcare workers aren't quitting because they can’t handle their jobs. They’re quitting because they can’t handle being unable to do their jobs.” For too long, employers failed to heed warnings about the dangers of dysfunctional systems. Instead, they relied on frontline staff's altruism, resourcefulness, and patient-first commitment to make those systems work. The pandemic laid bare the inherent betrayal in that approach, needlessly putting staff and patients at risk. Organizations must go beyond offering individual solutions and psychological support to reverse the exodus from healthcare. They must commit to operational transformation focused on facilitating frontline care and repairing the disaffection with their workforce.
