Please check your spam/junk folders. The e-mail is from Blue Sky or ACHE itself. Passcode is ACHE for the event with your unique Zoom link.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Roadmap for Interoperable Health Records
DESCRIPTION:September – The U.S. Roadmap for Interoperable Health Records and the Healthcare Executive’s Role in IT Decisions at James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (September 4\, 2020) \nNational policy calls for requirements for designing and provisioning interoperable medical information resources between disparate health providers’ electronic health record systems. The Panel on US Roadmap for Interoperable Electronic Health Records will discuss how leaders can develop new skills and resources be needed to effectively use new generations of software and technology features. \nIn addition\, today’s healthcare executive works in a world of ever-increasing information technology options. How do they navigate\, evolve and respond to the changing informatics world? These leaders often do not work directly with information technology\, nor necessarily understand the application\, but they are asked to make crucial decisions about their implementation. This program will assist the non-technical executive to proactively make technology decisions.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Symposium - Managing Morale (Turnover) and Leading Change at Lee Health
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed due to COVID-19. Please check back for updates.\nSymposium – Managing Morale (Turnover) and Leading Change at Lee Health \nStaff retention continues to be a top priority for most healthcare executives. This event will include topics related to “Managing for Morale — Effective Management Techniques to Retain” An expert panel will engage senior-level managers to discuss best practices in staff retention. \nIn addition\, the program will address how to “Successfully Leading Change in Healthcare Organizations.” The healthcare environment is constantly changing\, and provider organizations must adapt in order to survive and thrive. Organizations are frequently asked to respond to legislative changes\, market fluctuations\, safety concerns\, and patient or staff demands. The success of major change implementation hinges on how it communicated and how it impacts individuals and processes in the organization. Learn from your peers as they share approaches that were successful and those that impeded the change process. \nThe program will begin with brief opening remarks of approximately 10 minutes by the moderator\, followed by 15-minute presentations by each panelist\, and concluding with a 30-minute question-and-answer period.

SUMMARY:Behavioral Healthcare: Approaches to Increase Value for the Organization and Meet Community Needs
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 19\, 2020 \nHistorically\, hospitals and health systems have not always embraced a role in meeting behavioral health needs in communities because managing behavioral healthcare and mental health is very complex. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million\, or 18.5%—experiences mental illness in a given year. The rate of youth with severe depression increased from 5.9% in 2012 to 8.2% in 2015. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder also meet criteria related to having a physical illness or substance abuse. Physical health and mental health issues occur together. For example\, people with diabetes or cardiac conditions often develop depression as well. Being able to receive treatment for both conditions through an integrated behavioral health and primary care setting can be especially helpful since how we live our lives (behave) and our physical and mental health all interact with each other in complex ways. Ultimately\, the goals of behavioral health interventions are similar to those of other primary care treatment: helping people function so they can lead healthier\, fuller lives. Receiving both behavioral health and primary care treatment in one integrated setting can help people continue to work or attend school\, to engage with their families\, to participate in their communities\, and to be able to thrive. \nManaging co-morbidities can lead to an increase in cost and potentially a decrease in reimbursement. Mental Health America has reported that while most Americans have access to mental healthcare services through the affordable care act about 56% of individuals with a mental health disorder do not receive treatment. It is noted that in states with low workforce\, there is a shortage of mental healthcare providers (psychiatrists\, psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, and psychiatric nurses). As hospitals and healthcare systems begin to make the movement away from volume toward value-based care healthcare executives need to implement best practices to align and coordinate high quality care\, reduce utilization in the emergency room\, address workforce composition\, control costs and meet the ethnic and racial disparities of the community. \nThis program has been developed and is presented locally by the Western Florida Chapter. The American College of Healthcare Executives has awarded 1.5​ ​ACHE Face-to-Face​ ​Education Credits to this program. \nAgenda \n6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.: Registration\, Networking & Dinner \n6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.: Panel Discussion & Questions \n8:00 p.m.: Adjourn

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Diversity & Inclusion: Workshop\nThe communities for which healthcare organizations operate are rapidly diversifying. Not only do they provide care for a diverse community of patients and families\, but their workforce is also growing more diverse. This diversity is exhibited in a number of ways\, including nationality\, race\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, language\, age\, sexual orientation and physical ability. The business implications and imperatives healthcare organizations face concerning diversity and inclusion are immense. Diverse communities will demand different care needs\, improved quality\, new or modified operational processes and services\, strategic planning for a diverse patient demographic and continuum of care. It is incumbent on healthcare organizations and their leaders to both understand and embrace the needs of diverse populations. Their ability to respond to the needs and preferences of a broader customer base will be critical to their financial and operational survival. \nThis session is eligible for 1.5 face-to-face education credits. \nAgenda \n5:30 – 6:00 p.m.: Registration\, Networking & Dinner \n6:00 – 7:30 p.m.: Panel Discussion \n7:30 p.m.: Adjourn \nFor more information\, including a list of panelists and to register\, CLICK HERE.

SUMMARY:Gamification in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Behavior Change and Patient Engagement: The Endgame for Gamification in Healthcare\nWith today’s emphasis in the healthcare industry on population health and the integration of innovative technology\, healthcare leaders must be ready to consider new avenues to reach patients and engage healthcare workers.
