The Western Florida Chapter of ACHE invites you to an educational event.
Strategic and Operational Implications of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act
MACRA significantly changes how physicians are reimbursed by Medicare and establishes new incentives that will drive payment and delivery reform efforts across the industry. The law will encourage clinicians to develop new care models and collaborations with plans and hospitals. The law is intended to continue the transition to value-based care, which represents a significantly different set of incentives for healthcare delivery and a different set of capabilities for healthcare providers. This long transition is fraught with new and untested strategies, investments in information technology, and new roles within the healthcare delivery team. The challenge for all healthcare providers is how to balance investment into this new system, while at the same time venturing into new models of reimbursement.

Innovation in Healthcare Summit: Using Advanced Technologies for Personalized Care
Precision medicine and Telehealth hold great promise for improving the delivery of healthcare. Telemedicine has become increasingly popular throughout the years. Its innovative benefits are of vital interest amid the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Telemedicine uses a variety of forms of electronic communication technology to provide a convenient method to deliver healthcare services and education.
Advances in precision medicine have already led to powerful new discoveries and several new treatments that are tailored to specific characteristics, such as a person’s genetic makeup, or the genetic profile of an individual’s tumor. As the number of effective targeted therapies grows, more patients are being assessed for genetic variations; indeed, some experts believe that sequencing a patient’s genome will soon be standard procedure. But there are many challenges being faced including enormous costs of treatment, regulatory, infrastructure, logistical, and ethical issues.

ACHE has awarded 3.0 Face-to-Face Education credits for this event for the panel sessions.

Leading a Successful Multigenerational Organization
In today’s complex healthcare environment, a multigenerational workforce presents unfamiliar terrain for healthcare leaders. As a result, conflicts may develop in healthcare organizations due to the generational differences in core values and work-related issues. Other factors include economic and political differences, size of each generation’s populations, the transition of younger generations to leadership roles and social influences of the generational periods. This combination of factors results in further conflict among healthcare employees. Healthcare executives must take proactive steps to create cohesion across generational segments.

Diversity and Inclusion - Tampa
2019-06-20 17:30 - 19:30 UTC | James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, 13000 Bruce B Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL, 33612, United States
Diversity and Inclusion
The 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.

Behavioral Healthcare: Approaches to Increase Value for the Organization and Meet Community Needs
2020-03-01 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, 1324 Lakeland Hills Blvd Auditorium Lakeland, FL 33805
Thursday, March 19, 2020
Historically, 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.
Managing 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.
This 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.

POSTPONED: Symposium - Managing Morale (Turnover) and Leading Change at Lee Health
2020-05-21 00:00 UTC
This event is postponed due to COVID-19. Please check back for updates.
Symposium – Managing Morale (Turnover) and Leading Change at Lee Health
Staff 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.
In 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.
The 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.

The U.S. Roadmap for Interoperable Health Records
2020-09-04
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)
National 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.
In 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.
