FLYING THE PLANE WHILE BUILDING THE PLANE: DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO PILOT THE TRANSFORMATION OF HEALTHCARE?

HCEG’s Executive Leadership Roundtable at HLTH

DATE AND TIME
Wednesday, October 30th, 2019
12:00PM to 3:00PM ET

Hosted by: HealthCare Executive Group (HCEG) in collaboration with the Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI), the International Association of Innovation Professionals (IAOIP), and the Workgroup Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) and sponsored by Appian

Flying the Plane While Building a Plane: Do you have what it takes to pilot the transformation of healthcare?

The change required to successfully evolve today’s complex and costly health system will rely not only of technological and digital innovation, but on leadership as well.  Healthcare organizations need to be able to build trust, collaboration, and cooperation amongst payers, providers, patients, and members across today’s massive healthcare ecosystem that accounted for 17.9% of the US economy in 2017.

Join an expert panel from groups dedicated to healthcare, innovation and information exchange will guide you on your flight, offering insights on the leadership precursors to real innovation, how to overcome barriers to lasting change and your checklist on what healthcare leaders must do to transform healthcare as they implement emerging technologies like AI, edge-computing, and robotic process automation..

In roundtable and large groups discussions, the session will tackle:

  • How the digital revolution makes leadership, transformation and innovation more challenging, especially for healthcare organizations transitioning to a consumer-centric focus
  • Identifying hidden barriers that keeps leaders from creating a workplace culture that supports long-term success and leading-edge technologies
  • Personal success factors (expertise, knowledge, technical skills) that can actually distort leadership’s ability to see problems clearly and truthfully over time
  • How to create greater organizational accountability and collaboration to unleash expertise and innovation
  • Approaches to adopting the values required for digital transformation while recognizing the value of legacy businesses
  • How to address the public’s declining trust in US health care systems
  • Avenues to promote and support innovation, change and transformation in your organization

VALUE-BASED RELATIONSHIPS AND REIMBURSEMENT: HOW CAN INDUSTRY COLLABORATE TO SPEED THE MOVE TO VALUE?

HCEG ELR at HCEG’s Annual Forum

DATE AND TIME
Wednesday, September 11th, 2019
8:00AM to 10:00AM ET
The U.S. healthcare system remains predominantly fee-for-service, despite considerable investment, evolving regulation, and prolific conversation aimed at moving to value. In reality, few are incentivized to provide value-based care, and most have varying definitions of what value means. Panel experts kick off a conversation about top challenges and opportunities in transitioning from FFS, and which realistic next step they plan to take to make real progress in the move to value.
  • Persistent challenges in the move to value, and thoughts on overcoming them
  • Recent successes in new payment models and lessons-learned
  • Collaborating for value-based care – a look at cross-industry partnerships
  • What key decisions need to be made to move forward on this HCEG Top 10 issue?

Five Reasons to Attend Our Executive Leadership Roundtable

  1. Extend the value of your attendance at the 2019 HCEG Annual Forum
  2. Have a chance to clarify and extend the information and insight obtained in the previous two days of the Annual Forum

TOTAL CONSUMER HEALTH & THE DIGITAL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION

HCEG ELR at AHIP’s Consumer Experience and Digital Health Event

DATE AND TIME
Thursday, December 13th, 2018
1:00 PM to 3:30 PM CT
(Lunch Served at 1PM)

The trend toward healthcare consumerism and digital health is driving what health plans, health systems, and healthcare providers are offering – or in the process of offering – their plan sponsors, the members those plan sponsors serve and the individuals participating in the U.S. healthcare market. Indeed, Total Consumer Health and The Digital Healthcare Organization are ranked #2 and #5 respectively by health insurance, health system and healthcare providers on the 2019 HCEG Top 10. Moreover, these two items and their closely aligned variations have ranked in the HCEG Top 10 for the last decade.

It’s obvious that healthcare consumerism and digitally-enabled organizations are front and center on the mind of healthcare leaders. Digitally transforming their organizations with a focus on facilitating consumerism is critical for all healthcare leaders.

Healthcare Consumerism & Digital Healthcare

Brian Lobley and Stuart Hanson will share their insight and engage ELR participants on expanding the overall theme of the AHIP’s Consumer Experience & Digital Health Forum. Tentative topics that will be discussed include:

  1. Insight into how healthcare organization can enhance member/patient engagement
  2. How competition from new entrants, cost containment pressures associated with value-based programs, health/entitlement reforms, and technological innovations may impact ‘healthcare consumerism’
  3. Approaches for turning passive health plan members and health system patients into active healthcare consumers
  4. Catalysts for healthcare consumerism change: employer groups demanding better value and trend of health plan members and individuals directly engaging with plans and providers
  5. How value-based relationships demand that healthcare organizations engage with their members and patients

To be sure, HCEG roundtables are free-flowing interactions with heavy attendee participation and they often take a direction of their own. There’s a good chance that the above pre-planned topics may take a turn toward what participants share with Brian, Stuart, and Ferris.

In the era of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity), decision-making is very challenging for leaders because one can rarely foresee the consequences of one’s decisions. Traditional leadership (command and control) must give way to a whole new approach to leadership.
