SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Spring Conference: Reenvisioning Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:After serious discussion at our MA Chapter Board Meeting on March 8\, we have decided to postpone all ACHE of Massachusetts Chapter events through May as healthcare organizations manage the coronavirus. We plan to reschedule the May 1\, 2020 conference in the Fall. If you have already registered for the conference\, we will refund your registration fee on the card you used over the next week or so. \nAlso\, we heard from some of you that our May 1st conference speakers did not reflect the Chapter’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. Thank you for reaching out to us\, and we agree. The panel of speakers should have been more representative of our Chapter’s membership and aligned with where we want to be as a Chapter and as an organization. We apologize for not having been more thoughtful about our full membership’s perspective in this area. Our Program Committee will be redoubling their efforts on a revamped roster of speakers for our Fall event and are committed to ensuring all of our future events are more inclusive. \nFurthermore\, while we have begun to receive nominations for our 2nd annual Diversity and Inclusion Award\, we will postpone the process as the award will be given out at our Fall Conference on October 21st. We applaud you for the work your organizations are doing in their commitment to creating a more diverse\, inclusive\, and equitable environment. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions as to the nomination process. \nRegards\,\nJohn Fogarty\, FACHE\nACHE of MA President \n\nHealthcare costs in the United States have grown at an astounding rate: \n\n50 years ago\, we spent approximately $400 Billion (in 2018 dollars) — or $1\,800 dollars per person.\nToday we spend over $3.6 Trillion – or $11\,172 per person.\n\nOur Spring conference will focus on innovation\, technology and those people and organizations that are swimming against the tide\, disrupting our healthcare delivery infrastructure in an effort to improve access\, quality\, service and safety\, while at the same time working to bend the cost curve. \nJoin us for another exhilarating and informative discussion that will help you position yourself and your organization so that you don’t get left behind in the new\, fast-moving world of healthcare. \n \nKEYNOTES\nDavid Betts\, Principal\, Deloitte Consulting\nSteve Strongwater\, MD\, President & CEO\, Atrius Health\nAndrew Dreyfus\, President & CEO\, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts \nPANELISTS\nModerator: Steve Walsh\, President & CEO\, Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association\nCory Gustafson\, Commissioner\, Department of Vermont Health Access\nGary Janko\, Executive Vice President & COO\, Senscio Systems\nThea James\, MD\, Vice President of Mission and Associate Chief Medical Officer\,\nBoston Medical Center\nThomas Kiesau\, Senior Partner\, The Chartis Group\nOther panelists TBA \nSpeaker Bios  \n\nAgenda\n7:00 AM Registration\, Continental Breakfast and Networking\n7:30 AM Opening Remarks\, Kinzer Award & Diversity and Inclusion Award\n8:00 AM Governor Charlie Baker via video\n8:10 AM David Betts\n8:50 AM Steve Strongwater\, MD & Andrew Dreyfus\n10:15 AM Networking Break\n10:45 AM Panel Discussion\n12:15 PM Closing Remarks & “Retirement Recognition Luncheon in honor of Donna Powell\, ACHE of MA Administrator” \n\nThe American College of Healthcare Executives has awarded 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face Education Credits to this program.\n2.25 ACHE Qualified Education credits have been approved for the Keynote portion of this program.\n\nCANCELLATION: To cancel your registration\, please notify us in writing no later than one week prior to the event for a refund\, less a $25 nonrefundable processing.
