SUMMARY:ACHE of MA Panel Series Presented by the ECN: The Future of Accountable Care
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 12\, 2019\nShriners Hospital\n5:30 PM – 8:00 PM\nShriners Auditorium\n51 Blossom Street\nBoston\, MA\nDirections \nAccountable care organizations cover over 10% of the US population and span across all payer sources: commercial\, Medicare\, and Medicaid. As the population ages and lives longer\, it’s more important now than ever to effectively manage and coordinate care across the continuum. Medicaid beneficiaries with a behavioral health diagnosis account for almost half of Medicaid spending\, yet traditional fee-for-service programs boast little to no incentive to coordinate care for this population. The launch of the ACO Certification program in 2017 made Massachusetts the first state to have statewide\, all-payer standards for care delivery. The programs continue to grow as payer reform continues and primary care providers become the quarterbacks of their patients’ care delivery\, yet significant challenges still exist as patients transition across multiple providers\, organizations and care settings. \nJoin ACHE of Massachusetts for a live panel series discussion designed to spark intriguing discussion around the future of accountable care in Massachusetts\, what health care leaders in the state are doing to manage their ACO population\, and how they establish a standard of brand equity and care across providers and settings. How will traditionally disparate organizations re-engineer communication? What types of careers will be created as a result of this paradigm shift? How do we truly integrate acute to post-acute\, and where do we go from here? \nWhy Attend?\n\nUnderstand the role of accountable care\, risk-based care models\, and community-based care in creating careers in healthcare\nLearn how local organizations are integrating care throughout their organization\nObtain long term career advancement strategies relating to accountable care\nCollaborate and network with fellow professionals who are passionate about healthcare\n\nSpeakers\n\nRachel Rosenblum\nChief Operating Officer\nAtrius Health\nJessica Dudley\, MD\nChief Medical Officer\nBrigham and Women’s Physician Organization\nRobin Hynds\, MSN\, RN\, CPHM\nVice President of Care Continuum and Network Development\nLawrence General Hospital\nChristine Rooney\, MD\nDirector of Clinical Initiatives & School Based Health Centers\, Great Lawrence Family Health Center & Director of Behavioral Health & Home Health\, My Care Family ACO\nCo-moderators\nNicholas D’Addabbo\nDirector of Clinical Strategy\nNizhoni Health\nShalina Patel\nProject Coordinator\nBrigham and Women’s Physicians Organization\n\nSpeaker Bios \nAgenda\n\n\n\n5:30 to 6:30 PM\nRegistration/Networking\n\n\n6:30 to 8:00 PM\nPanel Discussion and Q&A\n\n\n\n\nInvestment\n$5 ACHE & BYHP Student Members\n$15 Student Non-members\n$20 ACHE of Massachusetts/ACHE Members & BYHP Members\n$30 Non-members \n*Please note: Price will increase to $30 for all attendees on Wednesday\, September 11\, 2019. \nCANCELLATION: To cancel your registration\, please notify us in writing no later than one week prior to the event for a refund\, less a $5 nonrefundable processing.

SUMMARY:2019 Fall Conference: Social Determinants of Health: What they are\, why they matter and what health systems are doing
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 1\, 2019\n7:00 AM – Noon\nSheraton Needham Hotel\n100 Cabot Street\, Needham\, MA\n(Continental breakfast and lunch included.) \nHealthcare systems bear growing economic risk under contracts with third party payors and government programs. Focusing on medical care delivery alone is not an effective way of managing population health. Studies show that overall health is primarily — about 60% — determined by the social\, economic\, and physical conditions in the environments in which people live\, learn\, work\, play and worship. \nSOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH) include: housing safety\, food availability\, education access/quality\, job opportunities\, healthcare access\, public safety (crime and violence)\, transportation\, recreational opportunities\, social supports and social stressors (such as racial and other forms of discrimination). \nStrategies for addressing SDOH include behavior change interventions (including personalized feedback\, health coaching\, social support for physical activity\, adequate sleep\, weight management\, diabetes management\,  diet counseling and stress management) as well as support products and services (such as mobile health\, websites\, other computer-based applications\, text messaging\, wearable devices\, body and environmental sensors\, and telecommunications). \nThis conference will assist you in understanding the most effective responses to SDOH that will result in improved care\, lower costs\, and better quality of life for the populations we serve. \nOnline Registration \nKeynote Speakers\n\nSandro Galea\, MD\, MPH\, DrPh\, Dean and Robert A.

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.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Healthcare's Paradigm Shift
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut’s Virtual Annual Meeting\n“Healthcare’s Paradigm Shift”\n\nThursday\, June 18th\, 2020\n5:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nProgram will be approved for 1.5 ACHE Qualified Education \nThe Connecticut Association of Healthcare Executives is hosting a virtual annual meeting on June 18\, inviting all of our members\, sponsors and friends from the ACHE Massachusetts and ACHE Rhode Island Chapters to come together in a virtual environment to begin to heal from this unprecedented healthcare crisis. \nA paradigm shift\, as identified by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn\, is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. Paradigm shifts arise when the dominant paradigm under which normal science operates is rendered incompatible with new phenomena\, facilitating the adoption of a new theory or paradigm. \nIt is imperative that every healthcare professional realizes the healthcare landscape has completely changed. Clinical skills and services alone will not see us through this new paradigm after COVID-19. \nWe must focus on improving the health outcomes\, and the distribution of such outcomes\, through quality improvement\, improved workflows and systems of care within the communities we serve. \nFeaturing “Micro-Keynote” Sessions Presented by:\n-Dr. David Gruen\, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for IBM Watson Health on “Burnout in Healthcare”\n-Dr. Barry Stein\, Vice President and Chief Clinical Innovation Officer for Hartford Healthcare on “Crisis Innovation” \n-Panel Discussion: “COVID-19 Impact: Health Disparities On At-Risk Populations”\nFeaturing:\n-Dr. Linda Barry from the UConn School of Public Health\n-Maritza Bond\, MPH\, Director of Health for the City of New Haven\n-Dr. Tekisha Everette\, Executive Director of Health Equity Solutions\n-Sarah S.
