Healthcare executives have had more sleepless nights in recent times. Underpayments from Medicare and Medicaid to hospitals continue to increase. Clinicians and their hospitals continue to see an increase in providing uncompensated care. Diagnostic errors are increasing. Physicians and care givers are reporting they are burned out, and looking at alternative career options. While the challenges are numerous there have been some wins. We'll discuss the strategies and technologies that are showing a favorable ROI.

Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care—it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. Unfortunately, diagnostic errors stem from a wide variety of causes including inadequate collaboration and communication various stakeholders. Generative artificial Intelligence and data science applications can help combat and prevent some of the common errors. Our panel will discuss how they've implemented these tools for the benefit of their clinicians, hospitals and patients.

During a time of tremendous cost pressures, increasing nurse and staffing shortages, and patient safety declines, health systems are striving to improve patient outcomes and clinical proficiency. Health system leaders need a better, more efficient way to train that respects learners’ time and expertise by teaching them only what they need to know. Legacy training is often costly and fails to find and fix misinformation and knowledge gaps that directly contribute to adverse outcomes for health systems and the patients who rely on top-tier care.

In this session, we’ll explore how recent cognitive science discoveries have been applied to make learning stick, allowing individuals to learn faster, commit knowledge to long-term memory, and perform better. Amplifire has applied this unique model to healthcare, disrupting traditional learning and developing a collaborative model with over 20 health systems. Health system collaborators are achieving material reductions in training time and costs, including reduced training time, better patient outcomes, and more proficient and satisfied clinicians and staff.

Higher staff turnover is a problem for everyone in healthcare, especially frontline leaders. They bear the brunt of the burden of interviewing candidates, onboarding new recruits, and figuring out how to fill staffing gaps every day. The rub: they also hold the keys to engaging and retaining the staff they recruit.

In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies for developing frontline leaders as they strive to engage and retain staff, especially nurses and medical professionals. We’ll also emphasize the role of senior leadership in supporting frontline leaders’ efforts to re-build a workforce culture that helps all members of the care team be at their best.

Should hospitals reconsider how and where they deliver care to patients? Some are seeing the hospital-at-home model as a promising approach to improve value. What is the ROI on hospital-at-home, and specifically for patients who need acute-level care? Does this care delivery model reduce costs, improve outcomes and enhance the patient experience?

Digital transformation impacts every aspect of care delivery, from the administrative centers, to the hospital campuses and primary care clinics where patients are seen. As new capabilities are added, some services must migrate to a cloud-first or hybrid cloud model based on business requirements. Ensuring uptime, availability and fidelity of patient and provider experience becomes increasingly more difficult in such a dynamic environment.

The cost of attrition in critical categories is increasing, in fiscal and qualitative metrics. How can we use data and analytics to improve employee retention? What tools are there that impact the employee experience? Which recruitment channels should be prioritized to attract the most talented professionals? What trainings can provide real-time numbers on the effectiveness of employee training?

Successfully being able to manage teams of professionals who straddle multiple generations and cultures is of extreme importance in clinical settings. Healthcare leaders must think differently and challenge each other to see past generational stereotypes and recognize everyone’s seat at the table. How do you recognize the need to plan differently and find opportunities to personalize the employee experience?
