“Meeting the Needs of Today’s Healthcare Consumer”

Consumer-driven services in business and the need for efficiency are accelerating changes in the way organizations operate and compete. Many consumers today are taking greater control of their purchasing power and healthcare decisions and are demanding excellence in service. The challenge is how to give them the best service in a meaningful and economic way.

Organizational survival relies on healthcare leaders with the vision, determination, and courage to test various methods of enhancing the patient experience. Patient expectations are being set by other industries and healthcare disrupters like retail clinics. How can hospitals and health systems provide the same level of customer service to stay competitive?

Panelists Will Discuss:

  1. What is the experience that consumers/patients really want from healthcare organizations?
  2. How can we meet patient and provider needs in a better, faster, and cheaper way (while eliminating waste within the system)?
  3. What are some best practices you have seen work in healthcare or other industries around patient/customer care?
  4. What are some new technologies (whether currently affordable or not) that can aid in increasing patient satisfaction?
  5. What are some approaches for fostering patient trust and engagement in an increasingly digital healthcare landscape?

Panel Discussion: 1:15 PM – 2:45 PM:
“Rethinking the Ambulatory Care Network”

Organic growth and acquisitions have rendered existing Ambulatory Care Networks obsolete and inefficient. Healthcare systems are focusing on developing ideal geographic distributions of new and current sites of care that optimize access, capital costs, operational costs, and population health management goals. They are creating standardized templates for the “Medical Office Building of the Future,” including a common vision for end-to-end flow of patients, staff, and providers in the new facilities, and space requirements to support lean operations, and virtual care.

Healthcare executives and ambulatory care managers must understand how to deploy ambulatory care to best support their organizations’ strategic, financial, and operating goals.

Panelists Will Discuss:

  1. How should we be positioning ourselves for the future?
  2. What are the implications for models of care? Operations? Technology?
  3. What are the key measures in assessing the effectiveness of ambulatory care?
  4. What are some common tools used in ambulatory network planning?
  5. What role will telehealth play in shaping our ambulatory networks? How can we quantify and plan for telehealth in our ambulatory environments?
  6. Where are opportunities for collaboration and other synergies?
  7. What other disruptors are important factors to know in the provision of ambulatory care?
