Webinar: Overcoming Barriers: Capturing Clinical Data Using the Cloud

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Overview

Cloud has been widely adopted across many industries. Gone are the days of fragmented legacy IT systems. Data is now on-demand analytics, and easily accessible and actionable through the cloud.

However, of all the industries, healthcare is lagging due to shaky confidence in cloud data security and a lack of financial incentives in a fee-for-service reimbursement model. With value-based care models becoming increasingly more common and incentivized, requiring providers to build longitudinal views of their patients, challenges have shifted – providers...

Webinar: Avoid Unintended Bias: How to Responsibly Use AI/Machine Learning to Address Health Disparities

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

A Thought Leadership Series with UnitedHealth Group

Activity Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly being used in healthcare settings with applications in decision support, patient care, and disease management.

Webinar: Overcoming Potential Barriers to RPM Implementation

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Overview

While remote patient monitoring (RPM) has exploded in recent years, many providers are not equipped to purchase, set up, or manage RPM devices (especially multiple RPM solutions), not to mention the access and reimbursement needed to incentivize wide adoption. Clinicians are already time-constrained and creating additional administrative tasks would sacrifice other important office work or patient care.

How do we overcome this? How can we deliver a...

Oct 26

Webinar: Removing the Barriers to Deliver a Whole Patient Experience

02:00 PM - 03:00 PM

Overview

Today, patient engagement and individual care experience are top of mind amongst players in the healthcare industry, especially providers. To remain competitive, providers are considering patients more as customers and, as a result, are working to improve the overall healthcare experience and keep patients within their networks. This has placed priority on the whole patient journey, from clinical and administrative, to financial, and everything in between.

While great in theory, providers are facing challenges while attempting to ensure a positive...

Policy Briefing: The Future of Interoperability Measurement

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Overview
The ability to properly exchange and use health information is essential to patient care. It drives improved health outcomes at both the personal and population level.

This isn’t news to the healthcare industry. However, currently, there is no nation-wide standard measurement for interoperability. How can healthcare stakeholders measure their programs and continue to produce positive health outcomes if they can’t quantify this work?

In 2020, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) created a series of...

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

What: During this event, experts from health systems, payers and community organizations will provide insights into their experiences implementing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Organizational Maturity Models, and how they applied these models to ensure their SDOH programs led to better health outcomes.

Webinar: Using AI/Machine Learning for Patient Matching to Support Patient Safety and Improve Care

02:00 PM - 03:00 PM

Overview
Access to accurate, complete, and timely data is one of the most valuable assets in any healthcare organization. Quality data improves care coordination, clinical outcomes, and saves lives but can only be achieved with accurate patient identification or matching across multiple sources. Interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) allow the electronic sharing of patient information between these difference sources, but sharing the data successfully requires the capacity to connect each patient with the correct record. Despite best practices in patient...

May 19

Webinar: Ensuring Provider Data Isn’t the Source of Surprises

01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Overview
The No Surprises Act (NSA) which went into effect on January 1, 2022, provides consumers federal protections from unexpected medical bills. One of the provisions of the No Surprises Act requires health plans to update their provider directories more frequently. This gets to the root cause of surprise billing, which is patients’ ability to easily identify which providers are in-network. If payers can update their directory in just 48 hours, as the law mandates, patients will have a much better chance of finding care that’s actually covered by their plans....

May 17

Overview
The Covid-19 pandemic forever changed many aspects of daily life, including the way we work. Healthcare has arguably been the most disrupted industry during this time. Driven largely by increased consumer demand, workforce burnout, and staff shortages, hospitals and health systems are now facing a challenging task of rebuilding a new workforce. This unprecedented effort requires a reimagining of the way we hire, train, and retain workers.

During this timely and important event, you’ll hear from a group of diverse leaders who can speak from firsthand...
