Ep 59Managing Cybersecurity as Digital Care Transformation, Growing Cyber Threats, and Regulatory Changes
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 58The Burnout Problem It’s Not a Resiliency Deficit It’s Time to Rebuild the Broken System
Originally Published: Feb 2, 2023YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/FOLZdVp_GD0See what is happening now at www.healthimpactlive.com Safety, mental health, culture, shame, and regulation all influence the complex question of physician and clinician well-being.

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.

Ep 53The Great Resignation Meets Clinical Automation - Technology At Once the Problem And the Solution
Originally Published: Feb 2, 2023YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/eVPVnTJKWUQSince the advent of the electronic medical record, there has been tension between the many advantages technology can bring to the patient care process and the fact that more and more clinician time is spent facing the computer rather than the patient. As technology improves, we hope we reach the inflection point where technology can give time back to the clinician by automating repetitive non-core tasks. As healthcare faces the biggest staffing crisis ever, it’s not a matter of people or machines in healthcare but both working together. Listen as panel members share how their organizations and healthcare stakeholders are evolving processes, technology, and coordination of tasks to focus clinician expertise on patient care and alleviate unnecessary administrative burdens – ultimately improving the patient experience and clinician job satisfaction.How can technology be leveraged to refocus care providers on mission-oriented fulfilling work?How can automation in healthcare bring better and more fulfilling jobs to healthcare? How do we leverage the power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotic process automation to improve the effectiveness of today’s healthcare workforce? Discuss how technology can avoid clinician burnout rather than add to it. What can be automated? Delegated? Without a loss of human touch or empathy in healthcare?

Ep 52Human Side of Change - Improving Services, Technology, and Partnerships that Advance Health Equity Improve the Impact of your Organization’s Health Equity Initiatives
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic inequities in the quality and safety of the patient care experience—including gaps in interpretation services, telemedicine access, and crisis standards of care. Even today, economic, social, and other injustices continue to create barriers to accessing high-quality health care. As organizations prioritize the importance and necessity of embedding equity into quality and safety operations, there are several strategies that organizations can use to improve services, technology, and partnerships that advance health equity. Leaders discuss how to:Apply the patient safety and quality of care lens to equityUse data and analytics to identify and address disparities in care and to monitor the impact of interventions aimed at reducing those disparitiesInvest in technology and other resources to support the delivery of high-quality care, including electronic health records, telemedicine, and other tools that can help to reduce barriers to careEngage in continuous quality improvement efforts to identify and address areas for improvement in the delivery of care, including the development and implementation of evidence-based practices that have been shown to be effective in reducing disparities Komal Bajaj, MD, MS-HPEd, Chief Quality Officer, NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi/NCB, Professor of Obstetrics & GynecologyPothik Chatterjee, Executive Director of Innovation, LifeBridge HealthKimberly Noel, MD, MPH, Medical Director, 23andMeShu Li, PhD, MPH, Chief Operating Officer, Rendr

Ep 51Penn Medicine’s Multifaceted Approach to Workplace Wellness and to Supporting Physicians and Reducing Physician Burnout
Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health. To date, more than 300 Princeton Health physicians and employees have used Penn COBALT. Early in the pandemic, the Medical Staff Executive Committee began periodically using the Mayo Clinic Well-Being Index to help uncover the risk of distress and burnout among the medical staff, which comprises more than 1,370 physicians. The Well-Being Index is an online, validated self-assessment tool invented by the Mayo Clinic that measures six dimensions of distress and well-being in just nine questions. In addition to the use of the Well-Being Index and the changes implemented in response to the periodic surveys, Princeton Health also promotes and encourages the use of Penn COBALT, a digital platform launched by Penn Medicine to give physicians and other employees access to mental health and wellness content, including the Mind on Mental Health podcast.

Ep 38Healthcare Delivery 2025 - Optimizing the Care Team For a Virtual Value-Based Healthcare Model
HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Healthcare Delivery 2025 - Optimizing the Care Team For a Virtual Value-Based Healthcare ModelYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/vO2yqaqES98Originally Published: Aug 22, 2022The COVID-19 pandemic forced health care providers nationwide to adopt clinical practices that align with value-based care, and CMS has made value-based care a priority stating that it is integral to solving physician burnout, health inequities, and lack of affordability. Yet many providers remain hesitant to accelerate their participation in value-based care. Providers remain unwilling to accept downstream risk, fearing the impact on revenue stability and sustainability. In addition, they are concerned about unpredictable effects on revenue, where long payment cycles and annual incentives don’t effectively address the costly nature of managing the care. Finally, and perhaps the biggest barrier is the lack of upfront capital to secure the care team needed to manage the care. Especially now, staffing shortages for wrap-around care, including registered nurses, behavioral health providers, and pharmacists, make it difficult. In this session, we’ll discuss the barriers but, most importantly, the programs innovative healthcare providers are using to thrive in today’s environment through investment, patient engagement, regulations, and partnerships.Create stable revenue streams and real-time, actionable patient-level data to create efficiencies that lead to better health outcomes and experiences Organize multi-disciplinary teams around the patient’s medical condition to allow clinicians to practice at the top of their license Implement human-centered tech to free up the valuable time we need to build the doctor-patient relationship Angelo Sinopoli, MD Chief Network Officer, UpStream Janae Sharp, Founder, The Sharp Index

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Automating Accessibility - Improving Patient Experience and Engagement From Intake to Education to Improved OutcomesYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/vVFZ0loNfycOriginally Published: May 23, 2022 Federal disability discrimination laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and call for equal access to health care services, whether in-person or virtual. It is not only a federal mandate but a moral imperative that we ensure that everyone can access health care. As we reengineer the patient experience to meet consumer expectations for healthcare’s digital experience, taking- an enlightened approach to accessibility is essential. A lot of healthcare communications are still in printed formats. Privacy remains tantamount in healthcare, so some typical accessibility solutions don’t translate well. In the session, we’ll discuss how to automate the steps it takes to ensure your patient communications are optimized for accessibility from creation to remediation and validation.Ensure your printed and digital communications are accessible and in compliance with the latest ADA and Section 508 regulationsOptimize accessible communications and implement innovations that enhance accessibility to create value Scale repetitive tasks by using template-based solutions that integrate into current workflowsEliminate manual remediation during high volume crunch times by ensuring forms and patient documents are right from the beginning Megan Carey, Senior Account Executive, Common Look Airica Steed, Ed.D, RN, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, Sinai Health System Jan Smith Reed, Director, US Healthcare, T-Base Communications Shahid Shah, Publisher and Chief Editor, Medigy.com

Ep 31How to Make Your Clinical Teams Happy and Stop Failing at Identity and Access Management
Today’s healthcare security threats demand new solutions. As more and more organizations move toward the cloud and clinical transformation accelerates at a breaking pace, keeping track of where sensitive data resides becomes increasingly difficult putting increasing pressure on data security teams. No matter how robust your organization's security stack is, vulnerabilities to intrusions still exist. According to a recent Identity Defined Security (IDSA) report, approximately 95% of security breaches are identity-related. Strong identity security is no longer a “nice to have” solution. It is essential. What happens when an organization gets IAM wrong?What impact has COVID-19 had on cyber threats? How has it changed your approach to risk management, if at all?With cloud transformation rapidly evolving, how do you adapt to identity security in a hybrid world?How have you gone about meeting these demands and incorporating them into your existing framework?How do you successfully deploy an identity program amidst a cloud transformation?What has been the most challenging aspect of rolling out enterprise-wide security across your organization, and what hurdles are you consistently coming up against?

Ep 27Reimagining Traditional Claims Processes to Comply with the No Surprises Act
HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Reimagining Traditional Claims Processes to Comply with the No Surprises Act - A Case Study about Intelligent AutomationOriginally Published: April 7, 2022YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/e0DWWPBvG0oCongress passed the No Surprises Act in December 2020 to reduce unexpected medical bills on patients. The January 2022 deadline to implement has arrived, and on top of the ongoing public health emergency, this has presented a formidable challenge. Under the act, the burden shifts to the payer and providers to negotiate payments before the patient is sent a bill. According to estimates, nearly 1 in 5 claims related to inpatient admissions involve out-of-network services, so out-of-network providers must have standard processes for compliance and claims submission and must create relationships to work through disputes. With clinical and administrative staffing shortages, rampant provider burnout, and overrun emergency rooms, asking revenue cycle teams to reimagine traditional claims processes to comply with the No Surprises Act feels like a nearly impossible challenge. In this session, you will hear real-world examples of how leading health systems are using RPA and intelligent automation to address these new regulatory challenges and realize amazing benefits, including efficiencies, greater workload capacity, error reduction, and significant cost savings. What is the motivation for and impact of the No Surprises Act on Patients, Providers, and PlansHow to plan for the specific impacts on Health Systems revenue management Understand the dispute resolution process, the payment rates, and how they will negotiateLearn how large healthcare organizations are using intelligent automation to meet the Act’s requirementsHear real-world lessons on their implementation, results to date, and opportunities to expand Yan Chow, MD, MBA, Global Healthcare Leader, Automation AnywhereTyler Stowell, Senior Director, Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management, Automation AnywhereShahid Shah, Publisher and Chief Editor, Medigy.com

HealthIMPACT Live Presents: IoT, Ransomware, Human Factors of Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Tokenization - Understanding the Perfect Storm of Vulnerabilities to Manage Cyberthreats Originally Published: Apr 7, 2022YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/d-put3vQp7wNo matter how robust your organization's security stack is, vulnerabilities to intrusions still exist. Unmanaged cyberthreats can compromise your organization’s ability to perform its mission by putting critical assets, data, and services at risk. As more and more organizations move toward the cloud, keeping track of where sensitive data resides becomes increasingly difficult putting increasing pressure on data security teams. Recent events in healthcare IT show that a zero-trust security strategy is the only way to prevent successful security breaches and ensure no threat or vulnerability to the continuity of care model. In this session, health system security leaders discuss how to: Manage critical privacy and security issues healthcare organizations face Establish and optimize information security and privacy operations to be better prepared to address current — and future — IT risks Transitioning and securing data methods and devices – IoMT, IoT Data protection and tokenization Getting clear, readable data out of the healthcare environment Mauricio Angee, AVP, Chief Information Security Officer, University of Miami Health SystemMelissa Lawlor, CISSP, Director, IT Security GRC, Hackensack Meridian HealthMichael Ebert, Partner, Guidehouse

Ep 25Inclusive Innovation - Optimizing Digital Health for the Disabled and Neurodiverse
HealthIMPACT Live Presents: Keynote Panel - Inclusive Innovation - Optimizing Digital Health for the Disabled and NeurodiverseOriginally Published: Apr 7, 2022Mistakes abound in digital innovation that could have been avoided with the inclusion of more diversity, with respect to gender, age, race, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and disability. The digital divide continues to result in the inequitable device and internet access — especially for people with disabilities. There is a strong moral imperative to inclusive innovation—we, as a society, are better off when everyone can take part in it and our societal developments must take place in a way that reflects that belief. People with disabilities have been historically removed from the site of conversations. This has led to a technological frontier that has been largely absent of the voices, insights, and experiences of people with disabilities. However, in addition to the humanitarian necessity behind inclusive innovation, serving the needs of the disabled also makes sound financial sense. People with disabilities often have complex medical and healthcare access needs for which telehealth is particularly well-suited, especially in the management of chronic diseases.Define the imperative for inclusive innovation in digital healthReview who benefits and is left out of equal access to outcomes when an organization is not offering the best in class accessible optionsMember engagement requirements in a digital world - what needs to be included and addressed in moving healthcare to more digital engagementHow to offer accessible format options for statements and billing to improve revenue and outcomes Brooke Ellison, PhD, Associate Professor, Stony Brook UniversityValerie Mondelli, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, RevSpringDr. Kimberly Noel, MD, MPH, Medical Director, 23andMeJan Smith Reed, Director, US Healthcare, T-Base CommunicationsShahid Shah, Publisher and Chief Editor, Medigy.com

Ep 20The Future of Interoperability: Healthcare Interoperability 2.0
HealthIMPACT Live Presents: The Future of Interoperability: Healthcare Interoperability 2.0Originally Published: Nov 15, 2021YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAmxJnUrbPAHospitals have been focused on interoperability since the introduction of HL7. However, while technologies, requirements, and regulations have changed, many healthcare leaders persist in thinking of interoperability in an outdated way. The legacy definition of interoperability focuses on getting internal systems to share data well, but today’s interoperability is more than a 30-year improvement on connecting labs to an EHR, all exchanges which happened within the same organization. Interoperability 2.0 focuses on releasing and unlocking hospital and health system data to connect and share it with individuals, programs, and organizations outside of the boundary of your organization.
