Embracing Medical Scribing to  Increase Revenue and Decrease Physician Burnout

Physicians spend about 50% of their time documenting patient visits and only 27% with direct patient care.  Physician burnout leads to unhappy physicians and patients, poor physician performance, and a strain on the medical practice as these physicians can create unproductive, stressful environments.

A study published in JAMA Dermatology followed the implementation of a scribe program over 12 months in a large dermatology practice.  The findings included a 50% reduction in documenting time, a willingness by 79% of physicians to increase their patient volumes, and a 7.7% increase in revenue. 

In this session, Andrea Caliri, M.D.,  MindLeaf Medical Consultant and

John Kemp, M.D., Subject Matter Expert – Virtual Scribes will:

•  Describe the pros and cons of physical, virtual and dictation scribing options
• Discuss how to determine which scribing solutions are the best fit for your practice
• Explain how scribing can reduce physician burnout by improving work-life balance
• Discuss how you can increase your physician productivity and return-on-investment by increasing the number of patients seen per hour
• Provide you with a medical scribe options calculator that will help you identify the annual cost savings from each type of scribing solution.

Better Data for Better Health: Enhancing Community Data in 

New York City

WEBINAR ONLY

TIME 10-11:30AM

• In this presentation, members of the HealthDataViz team will share their recent work redesigning NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (NYC DoHMH) interactive public health data website.  The new, groundbreaking site is an innovative example of how public health agencies, providers, payers, policy makers and researchers can present complex health and healthcare data from different sources in an engaging and exciting way. 

  Every month more than 1,000 people visit the NYC Epiquery (a combination of the words Epidemiology and Query) website to access public health survey, vital records and surveillance data and related information. Leveraging Tableau data visualization software, HealthDataViz collaborated with a team of experts in Information Technology, Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Database Management to re-imagine the website’s design and technology architecture.  They revamped the site with rich media and graphical presentation of data, improved user experience through guided navigation, and added advanced statistical analysis capabilities. The new site employs best practices of data visualization and innovative use of technology to create a seamless, easy-to-use and high-impact application that enables policy makers, researchers, program developers and the general public to easily access and understand the data they need for decision-making.  HealthDataViz will showcase examples ranging from the user-friendly Community Health Profiles designed for novice users to the sophisticated exploratory and statistical tools designed for experts to perform in-depth analysis and statistical testing about topics such as quality of care, social determinants of health and population health trends.

  Lessons to be learned:

  • A great example of presenting complex health data tailored to different audiences
  • How best practices in data visualization were applied in the new website
  • Various user needs and how they were considered to create a website effective for everyone from the novice to the advanced data user
  • An overview of the technology innovations that enabled the final product to be realized

User behavior causes 68% of corporate security breaches.  Users choose convenience over security, blur the line between personal and professional identity, and create risk for you.  Especially true in healthcare, with so many needing quick and easy access to sensitive data, it’s been a problem for decades.  Traditional security awareness efforts haven’t had much impact, so what now?

There’s a new approach emerging to solve this, combining the behavior science behind addictive consumer apps with security automation.  User Behavior Management makes improving security fast, simple, and personally rewarding – and enables organizations to understand and benchmark user-based risk, and target, drive, and measure user behavior.

Based on research and customer operations across 1 million people, Covered Security has delivered a User Behavior Management platform that motivates and empowers people to improve their security – and reduce the risk to their employers.  It’s like Fitbit for user security. 

Please join us to see what Covered Security has learned about the keys to successfully measuring and changing user behavior.

Learning Objectives:

• Why users are compromised online at a rate 124.7% higher than security professionals
• Behavior science research findings that can be used to drive user behavior
• Measuring and benchmarking an organization’s level of user-driven risk
• How to efficiently target security awareness efforts
• Effectively driving security behavior change with personalization, gamification, and rewards

Why Purpose-Built Identity and Access Management is Critical to Solving Healthcare’s Increasingly

Complex Security, Compliance, and Workflow Challenges

WEBINAR ONLY

• As healthcare organizations continue to shift to value-based care and evolve as modern digital enterprises, the care delivery ecosystem is rapidly changing. Today’s healthcare ecosystem includes a more extensive population of users, the number and types of devices from which users are accessing information is constantly growing, and applications are being delivered and accessed in a variety of different ways, including through virtual desktops, mobile applications, and from the cloud. 

  In this new ecosystem, organizations must establish trusted identities across a complex network of people, technology, and information. With focus on trusted digital identity and robust identity and access management (IAM) capabilities, organizations can optimize processes and technologies to solve critical workflow, security, and compliance challenges. They can give users secure access to the applications, devices, and information they need, anywhere and anytime they need it. 

  However, there are unique considerations and challenges in healthcare that impact IAM decisions, including healthcare’s unique ecosystem of users, devices, and applications, industry-specific regulations, and, very importantly, the need to balance security with efficiency for clinical staff.

  Attend this Webinar to learn:

• Why IAM is critical in today’s increasingly complex healthcare delivery ecosystem
• Unique healthcare considerations that impact the success of an IAM initiative
• How Imprivata’s purpose-built IAM solutions meet the unique, demanding, and constantly changing security, compliance, and workflow challenges of the modern healthcare enterprise
• Speaker:  Dan Borgasano,  Vice President of Product Marketing Imprivata

Successful Strategies for Aligning Payment Innovation to Value-Based Contracts

The emphasis on value-over volume is growing at an accelerated pace –and is going to continue to grow as payers, providers and government programs move more business into value-based contracting programs. 90% of payers and 80% of hospitals have value plays in their reimbursement mixes, and payers anticipate fee-for-service checks to drop to less than one-third of the total over the next five years.

The question remains, what makes a successful value-based reimbursement approach?  This webinar explores the need for clear agreement on what defines success and especially between partnering organizations that often face multiple uncoordinated and unsynchronized episode definitions, metrics and data requirements.

Programs for public and private patient populations have different goals, different definitions of quality and different ways to measure whether quality objectives are attained. And many of these programs continue to change and evolve. 

The webinar will explore:

• Understanding elements of successful value-based reimbursement contracts

• The role of actionable performance reports
• Data management in a value-driven world

Do you know that HealthCare is the #1 cyber attacked industry and that 45% of all ransomware attacks in 2017 involved healthcare organizations? Furthermore,

• The cybersecurity research body suggests that ransomware damage costs will rise to $11.5 billion in 2019. 
• Mobile malware, banking malware, and ransomware are the primary threats to expect in 2019 according to Fortinet.
• Every 14 seconds a healthcare organization is expected to fall victim to a ransomware attack.

These are shocking statistics that create enough alarm for CIO’s to evaluate their existing downtime policies and preparedness prior to becoming a statistic. Downtime events are common in healthcare, but as cyber-attacks have become more frequent and lengthier, the importance of preparation for just such an event is crucial.

In this session, Joy Bauer and Sandra Murray of HealthNET Systems Consulting will provide practical information and recommendations to IT leaders including:

• Statistics and examples of recent downtime events
• Why Healthcare systems are targeted at an increased rate
• NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)  CIO recommendations - for your reference
• Ensuring the continuity of patient care and business operations
