About the ProgramJoin us virtually at noon ET on February 6 for our virtual interactive program, “Navigating Key Legislative Issues Facing Healthcare Leaders.”
Numerous public policy and legislative issues around healthcare delivery and public health affect healthcare organizations and demand the involvement of their leaders to respond and adjust organizational policies and procedures. These issues often relate to improving population health, access and coverage through Medicaid and other programs, improving value, addressing consumer issues and workforce shortages, and more.
Learning these issues and being involved in policy and organizational responses is important for healthcare leaders, regardless of how directly they may be involved.
This panel looks at the key healthcare legislative issues they are focusing on now.

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.

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. While these factors may sound simple, they are not, and healthcare executives must provide the leadership and support to ensure these factors are continuously addressed. 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.
Panelists Will Discuss:This exciting panel of leaders in healthcare and law enforcement will share their expertise and insights into staying secure in 2023 and beyond by discussing the following topics:

Awareness and Education
Governance, Risk Assessment and Compliance
Risks/Challenges and Action Planning
Trends – Technology and Bad Actors
Partnerships
