SUMMARY:ACHE WFC Behavioral Healthcare: Approaches to Increase Value
DESCRIPTION:**This is a VIRTUAL event. If you purchased your Eventbrite ticket & completed your registration with the link provided to you for ACHE National\, you received a Zoom link in your e-mail. 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. You must fully attend the event and complete the evaluation on ACHE.org in order to receive F2F credit.** \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. \nTo purchase your ticket\, use the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/355559176067 \nAgenda \n9:00 – 9:15 – Event & speaker introduction \n9:15 -10:15 – Speakers Present \n10:15 – 10:30 – Speaker Q & A \nVirtual Face-to-Face Credit Hours: 1.5 \n** Upon Eventbrite Ticket Purchase\, you will be directed to ACHE National’s website to COMPLETE your Registration.

SUMMARY:ACHE WFC Presents: Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Lead and Reward a Just Culture and Establish Organizational Behavior Expectations \n \n\n\nMedical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States at 220\,000 to 440\,000 people dying each year from preventable errors according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Clinicians and hospital staff face a devastating impact as a result of being involved with a medical error especially in organizations without a support system in place. Moreover\, only 64% of staff who responded to the 2016 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture’s hospital comparative database felt that reported mistakes led to positive changes. To help healthcare leaders achieve total system safety across the continuum\, ACHE\, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement/National Patient Safety Foundation Lucian Leape Institute developed a guide “Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success”. This Blueprint is designed to help leaders shape\, create and sustain the type of organizational culture needed to ensure patient and workforce safety and inspire healthcare leaders on the journey to zero harm. \nAgenda \n11:00 -11:15 – Event & speaker introduction \n11:15 -12:15 – Speakers Present \n12:15 – 12:30 – Speaker Q & A \nVirtual Face-to-Face Credit Hours: 1.5 \nTo register\, use the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/323558390857 \n** Upon Eventbrite Ticket Purchase\, you will be directed to ACHE National’s website to COMPLETE your Registration.
