Abstract:

CXOs discuss the responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities that arise from M&A and divestitures.

A merger and acquisition (M&A) or divestiture is a pivotal phase for any organization to navigate, but it is also a great opportunity for positive change. You can use the transition period to implement better processes going forward. Your role is also vitally important in the due diligence process that leads up to deals, as you’re responsible for reviewing technical publications, evaluating patents, and, ultimately, determining the valuation of the target organization.

And, as all technology leaders have learned over the last couple years, onboarding, aligning, and working in today’s remote and hybrid work environments requires even more planning and forethought. Join your peers in a discussion about how to best navigate technology infrastructure changes that inevitably come with M&A and divestiture.

Speakers:
Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO

Sami Ramachandran, Sr. Director, IT M&A, Divestiture & Private Equity

Ed Marx, Consultant & Former CIO

Market discussions on ChatGPT and the potential of generative AI have proliferated this year. Yet separating fact from fiction and translating hype into action is not easy. 

Health systems now face an overwhelming decision about how to shape their AI strategies and make progress against challenges—like workforce shortages and burnout, financial pressures, and patient acquisition retention and experience, quality of care and growth. Over half of provider organizations have begun planning and early implementation of AI strategies, but less than 10% have a system-wide, coordinated program in place to optimize the immense upside that AI presents.

AI capabilities are predicted to be 1 million times more powerful than ChatGPT within 10 years. While many have not yet adopted AI at scale, recent breakthroughs make the opportunity cost too high to ignore—and the linkage with health system’s current business intelligence and analytics programs is more important than ever. 

It requires establishing the building blocks of a coordinated and coherent AI and data and analytics strategy and harnessing existing intelligence and these emerging innovations in a deliberate and strategic way.

Hear from peers in a panel discussion about their approach with AI and analytics to create actionable outputs that could be used to address some of the biggest challenges facing health systems—such as workforce shortages and burnout, margin compression, and patient acquisition, retention, and experience, quality of care and growth.  Discuss how they’re evolving Data and Analytics programs and teams for the decision engineering capabilities and roles that will be required.

Session Description:

The aspirations and hype of interoperability, data aggregation and informatics have long been touted as the solution for transforming patient care - and yet we are still drowning in data but starved for insights.

Over the past 20 years, healthcare has continued to make great advances in harnessing technology and innovation for the patient and also for the workforce, this incremental impact is still out of step with the true transformational potential of integrating data from across all systems and devices throughout the healthcare system. Without the ability to aggregate, normalize, optimize, and operationalize different formats and sources of data to improve patient outcomes, streamline workflows, help clinicians to be more efficient and help healthcare systems, the hype is still the reality. Can we convert the hype into transformational insights, or will we continue to drown, hoping for some change in the future?

Join the team behind InterScripts and Children's Hospital & Medical Center to present how they bootstrapped a new application designed to dramatically increase patient healthcare outcomes during an emergency.  Their goal is to improve outcomes by empowering pediatric patients and their families to take control of their health, make informed decisions, and quickly respond to potential health issues. By providing easy access to individualized care plans, medical guidance, resources, and communication with healthcare providers, AdaptCare can help families stay informed and take proactive steps to manage their health while saving healthcare organizations.  

Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) are a vulnerable population that require special medical treatment in the hospital and home community.  When emergencies occur at home, many of these children are treated by local EMS, such as fire/rescue and Emergency Departments (ED).  EMS and ED have minimal training caring CMC, so they are underprepared to address this population’s special needs leading to increased harm to the patient due to delay in treatment, unnecessary tests or procedures, and serious preventable errors.  Project Austin and The Patient Assistance Team for Children’s Health (PATCH) programs provide children with individualized emergency medical and adaptive care plans, respectively. These care plans are put into the hands of emergency responders as a guidance to emergency care of the child. 

Concisely put, this team has applied a unique cadre of technologies to ensure CMC in Nebraska (and beyond) receive specialized care, saving their lives in emergent situations. This project called “impossible to scope” by numerous others, yet persistence and a calling to care for others among this collaborative team gave them the inspiration and motivation to make “impossible”, a reality. There was no “playbook” or framework to work from, Project Austin and PATCH, came together with InterScripts to develop an app that has become a resource for first responders, children, and parents to provide critical care. 

By providing this valuable resource to first responders and ED healthcare teams, medical care to the child is improving when it matters most, during an emergency.  This improvement in medical care has a direct impact on morbidity and mortality, and ultimately healthcare costs. Through the compilation of data over a five-year time span, a 55% financial cost avoidance, or approximately $221,500,000, directly correlated to a 50% decrease in overall hospital length of stay, 27% reduction in hospital admissions and 23% reduction in ED visits was yielded.
