Event Lineup

Session 1: Playing the Long Game: Moving Beyond Cost Cutting
Wednesday, Sept 4, 2024  |  9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. MST

Presented by Craig Deao

Leading healthcare systems must focus on performance improvement (reducing costs) and growth. Typically, the focus on cost-cutting is the common reaction to headwinds . . . 89% of hospitals currently have a cost-reduction plan (but only 6% characterized their programs as effective!) However, growth can have a greater near- and long-term impact on value. Growth can have a compounding effect on value creation and come in a variety of ways: Grow revenue at the same margin (top line); Substitute lower margin for higher margin services (bottom line); Expand volumes in higher margin services (top and bottom line).

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the limitations of cost-cutting as a sole strategy for healthcare performance improvement.
  • Identify different growth strategies that can create sustainable value for healthcare systems.

Session 2: Reimage Your Work Design: Processes, Roles, and Workflows to Best Support Your Workforce Ecosystem
Wednesday, October 2, 2024  |  9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. MST

Presented by Jennifer Miller and Buffy Kelly

By thoughtfully designing WHAT work needs to be done to create maximum value and align to the organization’s strategic priorities, WHO does the work so that you have the right resources at the right place at the right time, and HOW work is performed to create exceptional customer, employee, & provider experiences, organizations can accelerate realizing their goals and priorities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how to rethink the way core work can be done within healthcare organizations
  • Build awareness of digital tools that can be leveraged to reduce the need for human capital
  • Learn how to maintain experience while transforming the way work is done

Session 3: Challenges and Winning Practices for Behavioral Health Management
Wednesday, November 6, 2024  |  9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. MST

Presented by Angie Esbenshade

Behavioral health challenges continue to grow within our communities and healthcare organizations. As those challenges grow, what are the leading practices that communities and healthcare organizations have developed to keep patients and staff safe and meet the increasing demands. As organizations come together to help solve the crisis for behavioral health patients, the patients truly receive the care they need at the right time and at the right location. This webinar will focus on practices like collaboration on community resources, streamlining care within the community and emergency departments, telemedicine utilization, and managing workplace violence – as well as the positive impacts they are having on caring for behavioral health population.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop collaboration strategies between community and hospital/healthcare organizations
  • Recognize benefits of leading practices of telemedicine with psychiatric population
  • Identify risks and responses to workplace violence associated with psychiatric patient population

Session 4: Improving Health Outcomes Through Effective Operations to Enhance Population Health Management and Equity
Wednesday, December 4, 2024  |  9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. MST

Presented by Matthew Berkley

Population health management (PHM) is a framework that aims to improve a population’s health by focusing on the health needs of individuals. Effective PHM is crucial in the healthcare industry because it can reduce costs, improve quality, and enhance patient outcomes. Additionally, it can help reduce health disparities and achieve equity in health outcomes. In this session, we will discuss the importance of effective population health management in healthcare and its relationship with equity in health outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

· Gain a comprehensive understanding of the PHM framework, including its goals, strategies, and significance in the healthcare industry.

· Learn how efficient operational practices can enhance the quality of care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve overall patient outcomes within the context of population health management.

· Examine how effective PHM strategies can address and reduce health disparities, contributing to equitable health outcomes across diverse populations.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of this learning experience, brought to you by the collective expertise of this collaboration of MHA and Huron.

Space is limited, so we encourage you to register early and reserve your place in this exclusive webinar series.

Meanwhile, thousands of Wyomingites remain without health coverage, and hospitals are still writing off millions of dollars treating people who can’t afford healthcare.
