The day will begin with a retrospective on the pandemic by Professor Simon Szreter. The purpose of the retrospective is twofold. First, to put the Pandemic into broader historical perspectives, including previous pandemics and second, to consider the way that the response to a novel corona virus was informed by past experience and by the need to make urgent decisions quickly in the face of the most serious public health emergency of the last hundred years.

The meeting will then move to consider the question of where we are now with Professor Kevin Fenton. This will be a reflection on the implications of the emergency response, and especially the implications of the impact on of the pandemic on particular social groups - notably older people, black and ethnic minority communities, the socially disadvantaged, and those with particular pre-existing medical conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia including many older people and those in care settings. The way that responses to the disproportionate impacts of the disease were formulated will be the focus.

Hospitals and health systems that seek to improve safety, quality, and patient experience—while managing costs—would do well to take a close look at the radiology department. More than 80 percent of all hospital and health system visits include at least one imaging test. Estimates suggest that, overall, hospitals and health systems spend $65 billion each year on imaging. Also, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is moving forward with site-neutral payments, potentially cutting reimbursements further. Operational excellence in a hospital or health system’s imaging department is an important goal for two reasons. First, a focus on operational excellence enables radiology departments to identify and eliminate wasted resources. Whether it’s wasted time, supplies, equipment, or staff, reducing waste is an effective way to improve the way a radiology department works. Second, operational excellence has the dual effect of reducing cost while improving quality, which drives value. By devoting attention to operational excellence, radiology departments can start a virtuous cycle of efficiencies, ultimately resulting in better care. This gives patients confidence in their treatment, which improves their experience; staff are proud to work in the department as well. Radiology departments face real challenges. With reimbursements going down, costs going up, and an ultracompetitive landscape, it’s smart to keep an open mind. Organizations that are receptive to new ideas are the ones that will move ahead. This conference will all this and strategies to achieve radiology department excellence.

Healthcare is one of the greatest success stories of our times. Medical science has improved rapidly, increasing life expectancy around the world, but as longevity increases, hospitals and healthsystems face growing demand for their services, rising costs and a workforce that is struggling to meet the needs of its patients. Demand is driven by a combination of unstoppable forces: a shift in lifestyle choices, changing patient expectations, and the never-ending cycle of innovation being but a few. Of these, the implications from an aging population stand out. By 2050, one in four people in Europe and North America will be over the age of 65 this means the health systems will have to deal with more patients with complex needs. Managing such patients is expensive and requires systems to shift from an episodic care-based philosophy to one that is much more proactive and focused on long-term care management. Healthcare spending is simply not keeping up. Without major structural and transformational change, healthcare systems will struggle to remain sustainable. Health systems also need a larger workforce, but although the global economy could create 40 million new health-sector jobs by 2030, there is still a projected shortfall of 9.9 million physicians and nurses globally over the same period. We need not only to attract, train and retain more healthcare professionals, but we also need to ensure their time is used where it adds most value caring for patients.

Building on automation, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare and help address some of the challenges set out above. AI can lead to better care outcomes and improve the productivity and efficiency of care delivery. It can also improve the day-to-day life of healthcare practitioners, letting them spend more time looking after patients and in so doing, raise staff morale and improve retention. It can even get life-saving treatments to market faster.

This event will focus on healthcare providers, attracting physicians, clinicians and IT leaders from hospitals across the country that are applying AI to solve problems, create opportunities, and leveraging it to deliver new value. They will share their experiences using AI in the clinical care and hospital operations settings. You will come away with a wealth of practical tips and actionable insights that will enable you and your organization to become a leader in AI’s imminent transformation of healthcare. The program is focused on helping you along on your AI journey, at whatever stage you may be. Hear case studies and real-world applications of AI in healthcare and its impact on future jobs.

Hospital-at-home programs are gaining momentum because of the benefits for patients and health systems, including increased patient satisfaction, improved patient outcomes, better performance on value-based metrics and relieving facility capacity constraints. Research suggests 30 percent of existing admissions can be addressed by a hospital-at-home program supported by a successful home health program. A strong Home Health foundation is a key ingredient in delivering a successful hospital-at-home program. Health systems need to assemble and integrate the required ecosystem, particularly skilled and nonskilled home health. Other factors include predictive analytics, telehealth, remote monitoring and in-home diagnostics. This webinar will share how health systems can coordinate their portfolio of physicians and family members to ensure their patients receive the appropriate level of care, deliver superior quality/satisfaction and receive pertinent information across the continuum to continually maintain the best care and outcomes.
