Great Resignation – Let’s Revisit
Skills, Skills, Skills - The New Workforce Currency

Professional growth empowers staff members to become more competent at their jobs as their career advances. Providing opportunities for employees to develop their skill set, acknowledge the employer wants to see the employee succeed, which contributes to perception that the healthcare enterprise is a positive place to work. How can we create a growth and development plan for every employee with maximum result and minimal impact on the enterprise limited resources.

Great Resignation – Let’s Revisit
Technology Implementation – Key Decisions

The American Hospital Association estimated U.S. hospitals and health systems lost $206.6 billion from March 1 through June 30, 2020, while a study by FAIR Health found that provider revenue declined 48% in April compared with April 2019 Priorities for hospitals in this environment has been to preserve cash on hand, to reduce risk and to safeguard against financial volatility in the event of future pandemics or other disruptive events. But it also is important now, more than ever, for hospitals to rectify inefficient processes that often were given low priority under normal circumstances. As thought leaders have turned to technology, what are the key issues with technology decisions and implementations as we seek to improve stakeholder satisfaction,(patient, team, customers, board, regulators) and provide protection to the enterprise.

Sterling Universal Group

Purna Prasad is a recognized leader, researcher, and innovator with three decades of experience in the field of clinical information technology and biomedical engineering. He is the CTO & Co-Founder of Sterling Universal Group that is the Ai & RPA research arm for multiple acute care providers in NAM. Previously Dr Prasad was the chief technology officer and vice president for information technology at Northwell Health, New York's largest healthcare system. Prasad has a career-long record of accomplishment spanning information technology, clinical technology, and biomedical program development, infrastructure/architecture planning, solution engineering, and enterprise-wide integration. Dr. Prasad's pioneering work in clinical information technology research resulted in the first networked physiological monitoring system for acute care, distant patient care using telemedicine, computerized brain monitoring system, sleeping brain monitoring and diagnosis, and application of robotics in medicine. He successfully established the first information technology innovation center at Northwell Health in New York. This innovation center is a sandbox for the 66,000-strong Northwell clinicians, scientists, and staff to think differently. The center produced the first 3-D printed prototype of an artificial limb that enabled a wounded veteran to swim again. The center excels in using commoditized technology to empower patients to care for themselves and successfully tested the first unmanned air drone delivery of an emergency first aid pack. Dr. Prasad holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, a master's degree in biomedical engineering, and a Ph.D. in information technology.

Improving Healthcare Outcomes
Impacts of AI On Patient Care

Ai is being applied within the healthcare field, especially for the tasks of diagnosis and treatment recommendations, patient engagement and adherence, and administrative activities of the healthcare workforce. Seemingly, the best thing about applying AI in healthcare is that it can be used to improve various spheres: from gathering and processing valuable patient data to being used for programming surgeon robots. Let’s take a closer look at how AI is impacting healthcare diagnosis including detecting and classifying disease; improving decision making process and driving treatment solutions.

Patient Centric Care

Patient-centered care (PCC) is a multidimensional approach that focuses on the quality of care that each patient receives. Contrasted with another model of care that focused on treating a patient’s disease. Patient-centered care requires respecting and responding to the patient’s values, needs, preferences, goals, and hopes for the future. The management of patient centered care can make or break the healthcare experience. We strive to center the visit on the patient, but there are many moving pieces to the care experience that can put us off target. What do we need to manage in a patient centers care model?
