The Forgotten Patients – How Care Transitions Became the Black Hole Of Healthcare and What We Can Do About It
Held on: Thursday, October 29th – 1:00PM – 2:00PM hosted by Ensocare
There is an aspect of healthcare that is in dire need of our attention. It has been overlooked, underfunded and understaffed for far too long. It is an afterthought and it shouldn’t be. In fact, solving it will not only reduce length of stay and readmissions, it will also result in cost savings and happier staff.

The process of transitioning a patient from acute care to long-term and post-acute care is fraught with problems. For most organizations, it is only through the hard work and dedication of case managers that more errors do not occur. It doesn’t have to be this way and it doesn’t take a lot to make this process better. Join this educational webinar and hear from experts who are working to solve this transition challenge. You’ll learn:

– Why it makes financial sense to address the challenge of care transition
– What you can do to start solving the problem tomorrow
– The surprising ways technology + workflow can make transitions easier
– Tips on how to get all internal and 3rd party stakeholders working together

Ditch SMS reminders for an Epic-integrated Chatbot: How a Health System Improved Patient Experience Without Burdening Staff
Held on: Tuesday, September 15th – 1:00 – 1:45 PM hosted by Asparia
Right now, it is vitally important to provide the ease, convenience and safety that patients plus staff are looking for. For health and financial reasons, healthcare organizations need to do whatever they can to bring patients back. Thankfully there is a way do that while delighting patients and not burdening staff – an Epic integrated chatbot. If you can text, you can chatbot.

Tia Fagan leads digital patient engagement at AdvantageCare Physicians in New York (ACPNY). To engage their half a million+ patient community Fagan knew she needed more than SMS text reminders. After searching through the Epic App Orchard she found an integrated solution that had the features her staff and patients wanted.

Unlocking Healthcare’s “Digital Front Door” with Integrated Virtual Care
Held on: Thursday, July 16th – 1:00 – 1:45 PM hosted by Dell Technologies
Virtual care provides the ability to deliver in-person care experiences remotely, while reserving in-person visits for more urgent healthcare episodes. Healthcare organizations need to rethink the operational guidelines required to support this hybrid virtual/in-person world – from defining the supported disease states to determining the relevant rules of engagement.

This new paradigm will require improved digital dexterity with cross-functional teams designing protocols that integrate with the existing clinical workflows, rather than replacing or interrupting them. Coordination across solutions such as call centers, scheduling functions, patient engagement and monitoring capabilities is key to the integrated delivery of virtual care. This becomes the new “digital front door for patient care.”

How You Can Leverage Data-first, Patient-Centric Multi-Cloud Solutions to Make Your Healthcare Organization More Responsive
Held on: Thursday, June 18th – 1:00 – 1:45 PM hosted by Dell Technologies
In the complex world of patient care delivery, “cloud” can mean anything from public cloud to private cloud on-premise and everything in-between. Different workloads call for different solutions. As a result, most organizations operate in multiple clouds – experiencing amplified complexity and risks due to the resultant disparate tools and security postures.

In today’s environment, healthcare providers need agility for changing business and clinical requirements and tools to map when and where their data and applications should reside on the cloud to provide a consistent experience for end users. See what considerations should go into designing a hybrid multi-cloud strategy to support a data-first, patient-centric health IT ecosystem.

How Healthcare Organizations are Integrating Virtual Chronic Care Solutions to Adjust to the Next Normal
Held on: Thursday, May 28th – 1:00 – 1:45 PM hosted by Dell Technologies
The virtual care conversation has shifted from a nice-to-have to a more urgent requirement. Delivering patient care using virtual tools has become a reality for many healthcare providers overnight. Plus, it’s here to stay. To meet the next normal, healthcare organizations need to quickly adjust to shifting government reimbursements, limited facility capacity, and changing patient expectations – in both the acute and chronic care settings.

Healthcare IoT Data at the Point of Care
Held on: Thursday, April 9th – 12:00 – 12:45 PM hosted by Dell Technologies
IoT is here to stay. Smaller devices and more intelligent sensors, combined with the advent of 5G, are ushering in a new era of patient-generated data. Intelligence at the edge also opens the door to distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics. When building out your Edge and IoT ecosystem – both at the hospital and at the patient’s home – how should cybersecurity tools be incorporated to avoid unauthorized access? With new access points being introduced, how can security blueprints be designed proactively– rather than being an afterthought?

Let’s Talk About a National Patient Identifier
Held on: Wednesday, March 11th – 1:00 – 1:45 PM hosted by NextGate

Poor patient matching and identification have been an incessant, vexing issue for healthcare constituents. Despite years of deliberation, no national strategy has emerged to accurately and consistently match individuals to their health data. Watch the recording as experts explore the complexities of universal patient identifiers, the pros and cons, the technological and regulatory requirements, barriers to adoption, and how a mandated identifier works (and doesn’t) in other countries. Along with learning the value and challenges of a national patient identifier, we’ll also discuss what can be done today to improve patient matching and identification.

How Can Healthy Data Fix Healthcare?
Held on: Tuesday, March 10th – 4:00 – 4:45 PM hosted by InterSystems

There are a lot of pressures holding healthcare back from achieving higher quality of care and lower costs. One of them is the challenge of sharing healthcare data. Whether that’s data between organizations, or patients sharing wearable and other home health data with their doctors, sharing data is a challenge with major consequences, especially when the data isn’t clean. Join us for this meetup where we’ll talk about how a clean, healthy data pipeline is critical to solving today’s healthcare challenges and what the world of healthcare unbounded would look like. Is it possible to share data? What are the benefits? How do you overcome the challenges? How can we enable third party vendors?
