“Strategies to Create Meaningful Executive Alignment with Physicians and Organizational Financial Goals”

March 6, 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM ET Via Zoom
Registration Is Limited to 90
Registration Is Now Open!

About the ProgramJoin us virtually at noon ET on March 6 for our virtual interactive program, “Strategies to Create Meaningful Executive Alignment with Physicians and Organizational Financial Goals.”
To truly transform the delivery of healthcare, the alignment and integration of executive and physician goals should be developed to create economic incentives to achieve clinical care transformations, which require behavioral and cultural changes in the delivery systems. Future success for health systems will likely depend on physicians not only successfully adapting to evolving healthcare regulatory and practice requirements, but also learning how to succeed in a world of new reimbursement models.
To address these changes, physician alignment has become a common term used by healthcare leaders to describe the activities used to motivate behavior change. Developing a case for change that articulates why transformation must occur to achieve desired clinical and business outcomes and associated implementation plans may seem easy to tackle in theory.
This session will provide strategies and tactics on how to create meaningful physician and healthcare organizational goals, increase return on investment, and improve quality and efficiencies in the organization.

About the ProgramJoin us virtually at noon ET on February 27 for our virtual interactive program, “Equity of Care.”
Equity of care is a core principle of the healthcare management profession and is also an ethical and business imperative. Healthcare organizations must ensure their staff is educated on disparities to appropriately address the needs of patients from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds to provide equitable high-quality care to all.
It has been shown that patient-centered care improves clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing medical errors and costs. Eliminating healthcare disparities provides a strategic component to ensure organizational excellence and long-term financial viability.
This panel looks at methods and strategies organizations are using to strengthen care delivery to vulnerable and diverse populations.

THURSDAY JANUARY 16 IN PERSON LUNCH AND LEARN
2025-01-16 11:30 - 14:00 | Maggiano’s Atlanta Buckhead, 3368 Peachtree Rd., Atlanta, GA, 30326, United States
“Integrating Acute to Post Acute Care Settings: Where Do We Go From Here?”

January 16 In-Person Lunch and Learn Approved for 1.5 Hours of ACHE In-Person Education Credit!

About the ProgramJoin us on January 16 at Maggiano’s in Buckhead for our in-person lunch and learn program, “Integrating Acute to Post Acute Care Settings: Where Do We Go From Here?” The program has been approved for 1.5 hours of ACHE In-Person Education credit.
Acute care hospitals are faced with ever more regulatory requirements and expanding financial penalties all to elevate the standard of care across the healthcare system on a national scale. The regulatory requirements and the corresponding financial penalties are not new phenomena. Most hospitals aggressively develop performance improvement plans that center on the resolution of these deficits for minimization of potential financial exposure.
Driving forces are pushing acute care hospitals to work collaboratively with members of the post-acute care continuum to cohesively manage patient populations through increasingly more aspects of a patient’s post-acute care progression.
This discussion will look at how these post-acute facilities will continue to play an even greater role in supporting our acute care hospitals in the management of patient populations through the continuum of care.

Networking TimeRegistration opens at 11:30 am and we will have 30 minutes of networking time before and after the program, with plenty of time for questions and answers during the program. Lunch will be served beginning at 11:30 am.

Register Now

Our January 16 program will be held at Maggiano’s in Buckhead.

Panelists Will Discuss:Some of the questions our panelists will cover include:

What does care collaboration along the post-acute care continuum look like?
How do you achieve “buy-in” from partners along the continuum of care?
What are the common challenges in gaining and preserving funding or authorization for post-acute care?
What are “typical” re-admission rates to hospitals by post-acute care providers?
What are some “best practices” with post-acute care providers to enhance collaborative relationships with providers upstream in the acute care hospitals and with providers downstream along the post-acute care continuum?

About the ProgramJoin us on November 16 at Maggiano’s in Buckhead for our luncheon F2F program, “Cybersecurity.”
Keep it secure in 2023 and beyond!There are 5 factors that Forbes says should be the focus of every healthcare organization in 2023 – Awareness, addressing legacy vulnerabilities, maximizing efforts, staying secure with lean funding, and compliance.

Additionally, keeping up with the constant trends and changes as the bad actors continue to evolve is vital to healthcare cybersecurity and ensuring the trust of staff, patients and the community is unbroken.

Awareness and Education
Governance, Risk Assessment and Compliance
