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.

Physician burnout and staffing shortages are severe with no end in sight. Physician practices are facing an uphill climb to recover from COVID-19, hire and retain adequate staff, improve patient safety, drive revenue and provide quality care for patients. They also are making up for two years of patients delaying preventative care. Despite enormous investments in technology like the EHR physician productivity hasn’t advanced. In fact, high levels of productivity are only seen when clinicians have to work at unsuitably high levels, resulting in burnout and possible departure. Economic models suggest that if healthcare productivity could grow by 4%, the healthcare cost problem could be solved. How can we increase productivity or efficiency without an adequate level of caregivers? Can we lower labor costs for nurses and doctors that have hit astronomical highs? The answer is YES, by leveraging solutions that are quick to implement, that improve workflow and that reduce physician burnout all for a fraction of the labor investment. 

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: 

• Discover how to reduce administrative burden throughout the patient encounter  
• Demonstrate how to enhance quality of care and patient satisfaction 
• Apply strategies to increase productivity with time savings, patient volume and workflow improvements
