Are your care providers speaking the same language?
More often, patients are coming to hospitals with multiple complex conditions, and require care from a team of providers working across multiple disciplines—and multiple technology systems.
Recent technological innovations in healthcare are facilitating this and improving the way we deliver care to our patients every day. Many of them, like EHRs, have been mandated by the government.
Get all technologies and providers in your organization on the same page, operating off of one primary clinical dashboard that integrates your systems. Join presenter Joel Diamond, Chief Medical Officer of dbMotion Inc., as he uses the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) as a case study for how you can improve operations, and ultimately patient outcomes, at your organization.

The landscape of the past 20 years is littered with the fragments of failed attempts at integration among healthcare providers. But healthcare reform legislation requires new levels of integration.
The Accountable Care Organization (ACO) concept has been supported enthusiastically by many healthcare experts who believe it will improve quality of care and reduce operating costs. But successful organizations should answer some important questions before proceeding too quickly:
• Will potential cost savings offset the expense of implementation?
• Can this be initiated without an interoperable EMR?
• What cultural challenges will arise?
In this webinar, you will learn the differences in ACOs and their impact on your organization. Join Don Seymour, president, Don Seymour & Associates, as he shares more than 25 years experience as a consultant on board and medical staff issues to help you identify how ACOs affect you.

With impending policy and payment changes for healthcare, setting priorities and making well-informed decisions to ensure growth in your organization is critical.

Middle managers are a key element to successful change in your organization. Have we forgotten them in our improvement work?
They serve as the link between your organization’s goals and those at the front line. They must translate strategic-level goals into actionable improvement at the department or unit level, engage staff in safety and quality improvement efforts, help determine which care processes need to be improved and how, and establish processes for spreading and sustaining improvement over time.
But many managers are not prepared to lead improvement projects.
During this webinar, you will learn how to engage middle managers, understand their needs and identify ways to build improvement skills.

Heavy shoulders come hand-in-hand with big hearts when it comes to delivering healthcare. Life and death, sickness and health are unavoidable and ever-present pressures, requiring a dedication that is both taxing and liberating for the caregivers. Sometimes, they can become numb.

Did the patient “believe it”? In this webinar, you’ll learn specific strategies for providing authentic customer service.

The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has created uncertainty about the future of the nation’s healthcare delivery system.
Traditional means of subsidizing the underfunding of Medicare and Medicaid (i.e. investments and cost shifting) will not be sufficient to achieve optimal performance, and the impact of theoretical models like consumer-directed healthcare, medical homes and deployment of information technology may actually add cost over the next five to 10 years.
This webinar will identify strategies focusing on reducing cost, improving care coordination, effectively engaging with physicians and maintaining strong financial performance. Even if PPACA is repealed or modified, your organization will have “no regrets” and will be well-positioned for whatever comes next.
