WELCOME LETTER

This was going to be our fourth annual Hospital of Tomorrow conference, but we’ve made a leap forward. Welcome to the first annual Healthcare of Tomorrow conference! The change is not just cosmetic labeling. In consultation with many of you, we made a considered decision to expand the conference framework to better reflect today’s dynamic healthcare industry. Hospitals are still at the center of the discussion—but not just as brick-and-mortar structures with limited bed space. Hospitals are the hubs of sprawling care networks that can reach into many corners of a community. We’re including pediatric hospitals, health systems, clinics, outpatient facilities and more. As the American health system evolves, institutions and relationships seem to be changing by the month. But our goal for HoT remains the same: to create a forum where the best minds from providers, payers and policymakers come together with the shared mission of improving consumer health. The agenda, developed in consultation with an advisory council of experts at leading hospitals, is full of the issues shaping the transformation of the healthcare industry as we speak and for years to come. Many of the innovations that you’ll hear about this week promise better outcomes for both your institutions and your patients. Our experts will look at the big picture and go deep into the most pressing topics. The new reality focuses on safer patients, lower costs and increased access to care for tens of millions of people who were previously uninsured. Underlying these challenges are the emerging medical breakthroughs and technologies that can truly change the game. Few are closer to the cutting edge of science and medicine than our keynote speaker, J. Craig Venter, regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his numerous invaluable contributions to genomic research. In addition to his groundbreaking research, Venter is taking those discoveries out of the lab and into the world. He helped found Synthetic Genomics Inc., a privately held company dedicated to commercializing genomic-driven solutions to address global needs such as new sources of energy, new food and nutritional products, and next-generation vaccines. Other headliners include Washington policy experts like former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, hospital CEOs from Johns Hopkins, Carolinas HealthCare System, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Nationwide Children’s and St. Jude. Expert panels will look at the progress of telemedicine, predictive data analysis, creating an innovative culture, making the leap to interoperability, enhancing the patient experience and more. Children’s hospitals have long been a focus for U.S. News. We appreciate the unique circumstances under which they operate, as well as the amazing care they provide for the youngest patients. This year we’re created a separate Children’s Hospital track to allow us to look in detail at their particular challenges with issues such as patient safety and population health. As you know, U.S. News has followed the hospital industry closely for nearly three decades; indeed, this year is the 27th year of the Best Hospitals rankings. As we continue to expand our role in publishing consumer health data and advice (in addition to custom products for hospital executives), we’re constantly seeking out the best measures of success. To that end, we’re convening a colloquium on Friday morning to wrestle with best practices for assessing hospital quality, safety and performance. With the federal government’s controversial “star ratings” front and center, we’ll bring together key players from the assessment world for a lively discussion about what works and what we can do better. Maintaining our tradition of transparency, we will also have a session on our own rankings and our plans for the future. I’m proud that HoT has evolved into a provocative but civil forum that allows a broad range of health professionals to make progress on solving the key challenges we all face. Few subjects that we cover at U.S. News are more important. I encourage you to engage in the many formal and informal dialogues among the industry professionals, policymakers and medical experts we have gathered here in the nation’s capital. We’re pleased that you could join us.

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS

Thursday, November 3, 2016 7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. USING THE U.S. NEWS HOSPITAL RANKING PROCESS AS A LEVER TO IMPROVE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES As the U.S. healthcare system rapidly evolves into pay for performance or other merit based payment systems, measuring and improving clinical performance has become a hospital imperative. Yet, at the same time, we are lacking an official, comprehensive structure and process by which hospitals and their outcomes can be measured. Archimedes once said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” The U.S. News & World Report survey questions provide a measurement platform in the absence thereof and subsequently provide a lever for improving care. At Texas Children’s Hospital, as our participation in the U.S. News & World Report hospital ranking process has matured, we have come to appreciate and embrace the survey as an important component of our overarching quality improvement strategy. The transparency that arises from publicly displayed rankings further lengthens the lever that can drive clinical care improvement. The rankings provide our clinicians, quality improvement specialists and administrative leaders with a highly visible tool to examine performance, foster necessary change and to “move the world”—at least from a quality improvement perspective. In this session, we briefly highlight two examples where this quality imperative, stimulated by the U.S. News & World Report survey process, has led to quality improvement and has energized the clinical and administrative leaders to search for other opportunities.

Presented by: HOW ON-DEMAND HEALTHCARE IS INCREASING ACCESS AND LOWERING COSTS The advent of on-demand mobile application technology and the effects of the Accountable Care Act has opened the door for innovation and the creation of an entirely new access point for medical care, from primary care as an extension of a current provider organization to episodic after hours urgent care. Culturally, the way consumers access services from shopping, to rides, to food delivery, pet care and other

14

essential services is changing rapidly. There are a growing number of mobile applications that can be downloaded onto mobile devices that offer a wide range of on-demand services to make life more convenient. With an on-demand mobile application, just one button on a phone can make it all happen. It was only a matter of time before on-demand mobile applications would find its place in creating the same outcome in healthcare. Contemporaneously, as hundreds of thousands of new patients gain access to medical care and one-third of primary care doctors retire over the next decade, mid-level providers, Nurse practitioners in particular, are gaining independence and establishing autonomy as they provide medical care either independently or with reduced oversight and management of a physician. Currently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have approved “full practice” status for nurse practitioners, allowing them to assess, diagnose, interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications independently. Nurse practitioners who operate in these areas are also free to establish and operate their own independent practices in the same way physicians do. The remaining states continue to hold reduced or restricted practice regulations for nurse practitioners. The convergence of these trends means that on-demand mobile applications can be integrated into a health system’s current enterprise systems and provider organizations in a way that seamlessly provides more access to patients while lowering overall costs and improving patient satisfaction. Presented by: SURGICAL INNOVATION WITH ACCOUNTABILITY Medical innovation continues to move forward at a rapid pace, making the development of metrics and establishment of standards for education and training of emerging technologies an urgent matter. Medical professionals and patients alike have recognized the need to increase public awareness of surgical technologies through integration of research, content development, and educational programming. This session will take an in-depth look at medical technological innovations from start to finish and feature discussions on bringing innovation to healthcare centers while also improving education standards for better outcomes.

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS

NEXT GENERATION PHYSICIAN ALIGNMENT: THE ONLY WINNING STRATEGY FOR PHYSICIANS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS

CAMPUS MASTER PLANNING: STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMIZING HEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES

Physician alignment and engagement with the health system have evolved significantly, particularly in the era of valuebased care. Now, more than ever, each aspect of health system performance is directly influenced by the decisions and behaviors of its physicians. The path forward requires a collaborative partnership between health systems and physicians to address the complexities and demands of providing care in today’s environment. Powerful physician alignment with enterprise strategy and operations will be a key differentiator for successful provider organizations moving forward. Leading provider organizations will recognize that the ability to deliver advanced crosscontinuum care depends on engaging their physicians as fully committed “owner-operators” of the clinical enterprise. They will ask several essential questions: “Are we aligned with our physicians—and they with us—so that we can operate as one? Are our physicians organized and structured in a manner which enables strong performance management? Does our physician alignment strategy go beyond business relationships and economics?” The answers will determine which providers thrive in the increasingly value-based and demanding healthcare environment. In this session, we share a next generation approach to physician alignment, proven to both foster and support high-affinity physician engagement with accountability for performance across the enterprise.

In the past, campus master planning exercises have been focused largely on translating future demand into space requirements and using this information to inform how the campus will evolve over time. The new healthcare paradigm—focused on value-based purchasing, population health and evolving workforce models—dictates that health systems must develop integrated solutions informed by clinical, operational, strategic and experiential perspectives to drive optimal outcomes. To respond to this new reality, health systems must adapt their planning frameworks. During this session, a new framework for strategic campus master planning that leverages quantitative, qualitative and experiential components will be presented. This framework focuses on ensuring the planning process delivers solutions that optimize performance and outcomes across the clinical enterprise. Presented by:

Presented by: LEADING WITH CULTURE: HOW PROVIDERS ARE SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATING A POPULATION HEALTHBASED MODEL Culture has a powerful effect on business results, helping to make or break even the most insightful strategy or the most experienced executives. At this critical inflection point in healthcare, where both providers and payers are changing their business models to effectively structure their organizations to successfully adapt to a population healthbased world, organizational culture, and the senior leaders who help define and communicate it, play a critical role in overcoming some of the nuanced challenges toward the shift of integration, including assimilating non-traditional leaders into the organization. Despite its influence on business performance, culture is notoriously difficult to manage because the underlying drivers are usually hidden. Truly understanding the culture and diagnosing the elements of a culture that do or do not support the strategic priorities of the business can unlock the full potential of an organization. Because the senior leadership team tends to have a disproportionate influence on the culture, selecting and developing executives and teams that reinforce the current culture—or help to evolve it—is one of the most important ways to make sure the culture is supporting the business.

BREAKFAST ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS

Thursday, November 3, 2016 7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. DISCHARGED, NOT DISENGAGED Payment model reforms are forcing hospitals to consider what happens to patients after discharge. Wheeling a patient out with a few days’ supply of medication and an incomprehensible discharge plan won’t cut it when significant reimbursements are at stake. How can patient outreach and follow-up services within the critical 24-72 hours after discharge from an acute care or urgent care setting support the recovery process – and keep the hospital safe from reimbursement cuts? Stephen Cavalieri, M.D, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Envera Health, will lead this conversation. Presented by: DO YOU KNOW HOW WELL YOUR CLINICALLYINTEGRATED NETWORK IS PERFORMING? As payment reform accelerates, healthcare leaders need to carefully consider how clearly defined their delivery network’s journey from today’s fee-for-service environment to tomorrow’s alternative advanced payment models really is. Do you have a sense of the appropriate pace that you need to transition to risk-based payments? Do you have a comprehensive understanding of current and future states of infrastructure needed to support that transition? Your organization will need to significantly evolve in areas of leadership, resource use, data access, healthcare information technology, clinical quality measure alignment, staffing models and integrated services to succeed under new valuebased payment models. By attending this highly interactive session, you’ll learn from your peers and HealthTeamWorks about concrete steps you can take to drive clinical and financial improvement. As a leader in clinical transformation, HealthTeamWorks can provide guidance on leveraging federal programs and commercial contracts to support the transition to value-based care, as well as assistance to assess and optimize your own organization in preparation for payment reform.

REVOLUTIONIZING PATIENT CARE WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES In the last few decades, technology has played a growing role in the evolution of patient care. The concept of using emerging technologies in healthcare has progressed over time, from phone calls with physicians to virtual doctor visits and remote patient monitoring. With the use of telehealth, healthcare providers can make use of long distance patient/ clinician contact, care and monitoring. Stanford Children’s Health realizes the capacity and potential of telehealth in the proliferation of value-based care, along with its ability to help with population health management by keeping patients out of doctors’ offices and hospitals. Ultimately, telehealth has the ability to improve patient care and lower medical costs for payers and patients. To take full advantage of such technologies, however, we will need to develop new models of care and interaction. At present, our healthcare system is based on a model of direct patient-doctor interaction, with an emphasis placed on standing procedures. Through collaboration between payers, providers, regulators and patients, we are confident that healthcare systems can drive change to reap the full benefits of virtual healthcare management. In this session, we discuss the evolution of emerging technology and explore the present and future of telehealth, along with the systematic changes within the healthcare system that will make these goals a reality. Presented by: FINDING SUCCESS WITH CAPITATED MODELS OF CARE As the healthcare industry migrates toward a value-based payment system, with risk-based bundled payment models gaining speed, it is vital for hospitals and health systems to understand and reduce costs. However, an overwhelming majority of providers are not yet ready, as they don’t have the cost data they need to determine a cost for an episode of care. Considering that at least 60 percent of hospitals participating in Medicare’s Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model are at risk for penalties based on their cost performance, the importance of having accurate cost data is clear. Attend this discussion to learn how your peers are using comprehensive cost data to understand and manage the total cost of care and drive value in Cardiac Care and Comprehensive Joint Replacement bundles.

ASSESSING IMPLEMENTATION OF PATHWAYS AND CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS IN ADVANCING QUALITY AND COST-EFFECTIVE CARE According to multiple sources, pathways and counseling tools were developed with the goals of managing the use of high cost—high touch drugs, streamlining variations in treatment, and improving quality of care, while containing costs. More prescriptive than treatment guidelines, clinical pathways can be defined as detailed, evidence-based processes for delivering care by the state and stage of disease. According to 2015 data from IMS, more than 83% of oncologists are now part of an integrated delivery network (IDN) or other system with a corporate parent and are more likely to follow pathways for treatments than independent standards of care. Clinical pathway development varies widely in scope, level of detail, and the types of organizations offering the pathways. Developers range from payersponsored, third-party companies that may use incentives and penalties to drive pathway compliance, as well as provider-driven pathways developed internally by academic medical centers. Cost considerations, particularly the rising costs of specialty drugs, remain a major focus in guiding pathway development. While some studies have shown that the costs of acute hospitalizations are greater than the direct costs of the drugs, other studies have demonstrated growing evidence that oncology pathways can decrease spending on chemotherapy patients. A study by Blue Cross Blue Shield found potential system-wide savings of more than $30 million through the use of pathways. Another study of adherence to Level I Pathways for non-small cell lung found that total mean direct medical costs were 35% lower in patients treated on- versus off-pathway, suggesting that pathway adherence saves costs in this particular disease setting. However, there is no consensus on which aspects of treatment are most effective in lowering costs. In spite of the goals of increasing high-quality, standardized care, while reducing unnecessary resource utilization and drug costs, there is current widespread debate among the community, especially by oncologists against the “cookie-cutter” approach of clinical pathways, particularly as treatment becomes more personalized. Because metrics for assessing care pathways have not been standardized, the true impact of pathways on patient outcomes, quality of care, medical resource use, and treatment are not yet fully understood. The roundtable could be an opportunity to initiate a discussion and gather insight and feedback from participants on development and implementation of these pathways or guidelines in their systems and its impact on cost, quality and patient outcomes.

SAFEGUARDING PATIENT ENVIRONMENTS WITH ADVANCED UV TECHNOLOGY Today’s hospitals and patient care facilities face a number of challenges, including strains on their financial and physical resources, achieving compliance with established infection control protocols and continuing to meet nationwide healthcare reform policies for reducing healthcare-acquired infection (HAI) rates. In the fast-paced hospital environment, terminal cleaning and disinfecting is often suboptimal. Manual cleaning and disinfection is a critical step to limiting the spread of pathogens, but studies have demonstrated that less than 50% of hospital room surfaces are adequately cleaned and disinfected – leaving facilities and patients vulnerable to dangerous pathogens. Drawing on its centurylong legacy in cleaning and disinfecting, Clorox Healthcare will discuss advanced UV technology and how it can be seamlessly implemented and used as a supplement to manual surface cleaning in healthcare environments by killing microorganisms in high-risk settings or hard-to-reach areas. Presented by: THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY AND PRIMARY CARE PEDIATRICS IN RECOGNIZING TOP HOSPITALS Denice Cora-Bramble, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Ambulatory and Community Health Services at Children’s National Health System, will lead a dialogue about the vital role that community and primary care pediatrics play in our health system.

Friday, November 4, 2016 7:30 a.m.–8:30 a.m. MEDICARE AND PUBLIC QUALITY REPORTING: CAN I LOOK UP HOW MY PEDIATRICIAN REALLY COMPARES? While Medicare has been a dominant player in quality reporting and pay for performance in adult medical services for decades, it has only recently begun driving public quality reporting within the pediatric arena. Many pediatric centers are involved in Medicare based institutional programs such as Accountable Care Organizations and Electronic Health Record Incentive Programs, complemented by Medicare physician based quality reporting. Started in 2008, the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) is focused on the quality of care provided to Medicare recipients of all ages. Many pediatric institutions may not recognize that they are subject to Medicare reporting requirements by virtue of caring for pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease (dialysis and renal transplant patients) and that these patients touch almost every type of physician services in a pediatric hospital. At our own institution in 2015, more than 100 providers met Medicare criteria for PQRS reporting. Many pediatric centers either choose not to report data or are unaware of reporting requirements. Not only does failure to comply with quality reporting requirements have financial disincentives, but quality metrics for all physicians who care for Medicare patients—whether they choose to report or not —are publicly accessible via the CMS-run Physician Compare website. Many of the PQRS reporting measures are broadly applicable across multiple providers and specialties, and thus offer the potential to compare nationally standardized quality metrics not just across pediatric institutions but also against institutions that provide adult care.

Presented by: ON-DEMAND MOBILE APPLICATIONS: THE PEDIATRIC STARTING POINT On-demand mobile apps are quickly simplifying the process of booking and utilizing a broad range of services, and medical care is among the most commonly requested service in our economy. The adoption of apps in healthcare will create customer demand and allow health systems and provider organizations the opportunity to broaden their reach and offer greater patient access to consumers. However, introducing service innovation through an app enabled technology has specific criteria for successful consumer adoption, and healthcare is far more complicated than ordering a ride, making adoption even more difficult. A review of the best on-demand mobile app services reveal the basic characteristics required for success. These include target demographics, frequency of use, and immediacy of need, response time, ease of access, cost/time benefit, and

other essential factors. In this session, we will explain why after hours pediatric care represents the best entry point for innovation and the introduction of on-demand mobile app services, and the highest opportunity for success for health systems and healthcare providers. Presented by: SYSTEMWIDE INNOVATIONS IN HEALTH As the medical technology industry transforms and creates new and exciting opportunities for patients and healthcare providers alike, it is imperative that both industry experts and our nation’s leaders set high standards for training while also supporting new technologies. The position on medical innovation by our leaders will impact not only the medical and technology industries, but also our ability as a country to move modern science forward and provide patients with the best healthcare options available. The healthcare experts in this roundtable will explore the benefits of medical innovations at a systems level that will impact patient outcomes on a local, regional and national scale. Presented by: DIGITAL HEALTH STRATEGY FOR U.S. HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS Healthcare is beginning to undergoing some of the same disruptive technology-enabled shifts that the banking, travel and transportation industries experienced over the past decade. As it does, providers will need to be able to understand individual consumer preferences and provide personalized care that effectively coordinates activities, both among stakeholders throughout the care continuum and the broader healthcare ecosystem, and leverages an extended delivery network. Digital Health Strategy integrates clinical, operational, technical and informational assets through a cohesive approach to deepen connectivity between health systems and their consumers, clinicians, payors and care continuum partners. Providers that are able to harness these extraordinary assets from the health system, and effectively employ the information to both adapt their market strategy and transform internal business processes, will be able to achieve a competitive advantage. In this session, we will explore the key components of a Digital Health Strategy and will share important learnings from innovative providers with innovative digital strategies and development efforts from across the nation.

REDEFINING HEALTHCARE LEADERSHIP: HOW GOVERNANCE, TALENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES ARE CHANGING Healthcare reform is presenting unprecedented challenges and opportunities for U.S. healthcare organizations. As healthcare delivery moves away from the traditional feefor-service system toward a population health management system with value-based reimbursement and a focus on improving the quality, safety and efficiency of patient care, healthcare organizations will require new skill sets. Success in this new world will require the development of new business and service models, the creation of new partnerships and alliances, and the development of new capabilities and approaches to organizing effectively around these new models. In this discussion, Spencer Stuart explores how the evolution in healthcare delivery and payment models is impacting the leadership needs in the industry, and driving demand for executives who have the learning intelligence and leadership capabilities to adapt to and lead transformational change and encourage innovation. Presented by: CAMPUS MASTER PLANNING: STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMIZING HEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES In the past, campus master planning exercises have been focused largely on translating future demand into space requirements and using this information to inform how the campus will evolve over time. The new healthcare paradigm—focused on value-based purchasing, population health and evolving workforce models—dictates that health systems must develop integrated solutions informed by clinical, operational, strategic and experiential perspectives to drive optimal outcomes. To respond to this new reality, health systems must adapt their planning frameworks. During this session, a new framework for strategic campus master planning that leverages quantitative, qualitative and experiential components will be presented. This framework focuses on ensuring the planning process delivers solutions that optimize performance and outcomes across the clinical enterprise. Presented by:

ATTENTION, PHYSICIANS: DATA IS AN ENABLER, NOT A BARRIER Putting data at the heart of medicine promises great advances in clinical care and coordination. When data drives care, it can focus resources on those who are most in need of care, provide an understanding of the costs of clinical treatment, and drive improvement in quality measures. In practice, however, many physicians feel data becomes a barrier in the patient-clinician relationship. What is the right infrastructure at the patient-clinician level to ensure that data is a connector rather than a barrier? Madhu Sasidhar, M.D., Chief Medical Information Officer of Envera Health and board-certified in critical care, internal and pulmonary medicine from the American Board of Internal Medicine, will lead this discussion. Presented by: LEVERAGING DATA TO DRIVE VALUE-BASED CARE DELIVERY In the transition from fee-for-service–oriented delivery systems to value- and population-based outcomes and payment models, it is critical to have the appropriate technology to access and facilitate the flow of data and information. Do you have a clear and comprehensive view of all the data analytics tools that are currently deployed across your organization? Can your organization drill down to the data it needs to make sound decisions related to care? Where are the gaps in data availability, and what conversations are happening to address those gaps in your region? With multiple technological solutions available, it can be difficult to make informed decisions and find and implement the right tools, at the right times, and in the right places without overlap in functionality. By attending this highly interactive session, you’ll learn from your peers and HealthTeamWorks about how others are addressing these critical questions. As a leader in clinical transformation, HealthTeamWorks can provide guidance leveraging data and technology in the transition to value-based care, as well as assistance to assess and optimize your organization in preparation for payment reform.

Friday, November 4, 2016 7:30 a.m.–8:30 a.m. REVOLUTIONIZING PATIENT CARE WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

SAFEGUARDING PATIENT ENVIRONMENTS WITH ADVANCED UV TECHNOLOGY

In the last few decades, technology has played a growing role in the evolution of patient care. The concept of using emerging technologies in healthcare has progressed over time, from phone calls with physicians to virtual doctor visits and remote patient monitoring. With the use of telehealth, healthcare providers can make use of long distance patient/ clinician contact, care and monitoring. Stanford Children’s Health realizes the capacity and potential of telehealth in the proliferation of value-based care, along with its ability to help with population health management by keeping patients out of doctors’ offices and hospitals. Ultimately, telehealth has the ability to improve patient care and lower medical costs for payers and patients. To take full advantage of such technologies, however, we will need to develop new models of care and interaction. At present, our healthcare system is based on a model of direct patient-doctor interaction, with an emphasis placed on standing procedures. Through collaboration between payers, providers, regulators and patients, we are confident that healthcare systems can drive change to reap the full benefits of virtual healthcare management. In this session, we discuss the evolution of emerging technology and explore the present and future of telehealth, along with the systematic changes within the healthcare system that will make these goals a reality.

Today’s hospitals and patient care facilities face a number of challenges, including strains on their financial and physical resources, achieving compliance with established infection control protocols and continuing to meet nationwide healthcare reform policies for reducing healthcare-acquired infection (HAI) rates. In the fast-paced hospital environment, terminal cleaning and disinfecting is often suboptimal. Manual cleaning and disinfection is a critical step to limiting the spread of pathogens, but studies have demonstrated that less than 50% of hospital room surfaces are adequately cleaned and disinfected – leaving facilities and patients vulnerable to dangerous pathogens. Drawing on its centurylong legacy in cleaning and disinfecting, Clorox Healthcare will discuss advanced UV technology and how it can be seamlessly implemented and used as a supplement to manual surface cleaning in healthcare environments by killing microorganisms in high-risk settings or hard-to-reach areas.

Presented by: THE NEW CONVERSATION ON COST: BRINGING PHYSICIANS INTO THE DISCUSSION It’s no surprise that providers are under pressure to reduce healthcare costs, especially considering that an estimated 80 percent of all costs are under clinician control with the decisions they make. What is surprising is that providers are asked to reduce such costs without giving doctors access to accurate cost information. This is slowly changing as more organizations are seeing the value in sharing cost data directly with providers. Attend this session to learn how organizations are using cost accounting data to better analyze the cost to care for patient populations and understand how to compare and reduce unnecessary variation in cost per case by physician, streamline administrative processes and labor costs, and negotiate more favorable contracts with payers. And find out how organizations such as Yale New Haven Health and CentraCare have been able to make changes that have saved millions of dollars and gain support from those who actually control expenses.

Better clinical decisions. Reduced chronic care costs. Lower readmissions rates. More effective disease prevention. These are just some of the benefits that predictive modeling offers. By smartly applying data mining and historical trends, hospitals can better allocate resources and design more personalized, effective treatment plans and population health strategies. Yet for these benefits to be realized, hospitals must have the proper infrastructure, staffing, processes, and clinical goals in place so that the right analytics are developed and applied in the most actionable way. Our panel will discuss the best practices and approaches being used by medical centers to harness the power of big data and predictive analytics to help them achieve their missions of delivering quality healthcare at a lower cost.

While debate still rages on the importance and validity of different metrics, there is near unanimity on the need to improve patient experience, particularly as hospitals move to a value-based model. Many institutions are hiring patient experience managers to expedite change, investing in technology like iPads for patients and visitors to access their EMRs or to schedule appointments, providing one-stop coordinated care for people with chronic illnesses, and training staff to have a “patient-first” mentality in every interaction. Studies have shown that hospitals that rank in the top tier for patient experience tend to reap other benefits, including higher profitability and lower staff turnover. This session will explore the practices shown to have the greatest impact in increasing patient satisfaction. Speakers: • Greg F.

KEEPING THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION HEALTHY

MEETING ROOM 8 Pediatric healthcare is gradually moving to a new goal: reducing the population of sick children by focusing on fending off illness and disease. To initiate full-scale prevention, hospitals are developing their own health plans or ACOs to drive better outcomes and impose greater financial responsibility. They are working with schools, nonprofits, governments, businesses and their peers to spearhead ambitious population health initiatives like reducing asthma and obesity rates or expanding mental health services. And when the patient can’t get to them, they’re going to the patient with home care units and mobile medical units that target uninsured and homeless teens.

MOUNT VERNON SQUARE A Healthcare systems rely on management approaches and organizational architectures developed during the industrial age, so it’s no wonder that many are finding it difficult to keep pace with today’s dynamic landscape, explosive knowledge growth, and rapid innovation. At the same time, networks are transforming other industries that face similar challenges by building on the science of cooperation, non-market economics, and evolutionary biology. Such self-organizing, complex systems are driving innovation in a variety of fields and can provide a model for how learning networks can transform healthcare. Cincinnati Children’s Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence is at the forefront of the learning network movement, which is transforming the delivery of care by using big data to mobilize collaboration between patients, families, clinicians, and scientists. The Anderson Center supports networks that bring together patients, clinicians, and health system leaders across 412 care centers at 271 organizations in 43 states, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Working together, these networks have improved remission rates in children with inflammatory bowel disease, reduced mortality in children with complex congenital heart disease, decreased infant mortality, and saved children from harm and medical

Join thought leaders from Children’s Mercy, Children’s National and UPMC to hear how the industry is transforming healthcare by accelerating and implementing secure cloud solutions–and reinventing how health organizations work today.

THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL: A LESSON IN SURVIVING AND THRIVING

MEETING ROOM 3 In an age of rampant hospital mergers and consolidation, millions of patients still receive care at community and public hospitals. While these institutions often serve high-need populations in urban and rural areas, many of them are struggling to stay open. Indeed, dozens of rural facilities have closed in the last several years, leaving residents with less access to quality care. Still, some institutions are finding ways to adapt by utilizing telehealth, revamping quality and patient safety, building creative community and government partnerships, and more. Hear from the leaders of several public and community hospitals that are thriving at a precarious time for many of their peers.

THE RETAIL CLINIC PHENOMENON

INSIDE THE U.S. NEWS CHILDREN’S HOSPITALS RANKINGS

The number of consumer-oriented healthcare clinics is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years as many people see these providers as cheaper and more convenient alternatives to the hospital or physician’s office. Some health systems are creating their own urgent care clinics and even tapping retail providers as partners to step up preventive care and wellness programs. While their overall market share is still small, these clinics are transforming the landscape of care, particularly for vaccines and common conditions. Get an inside look at these emerging models of everyday and urgent care and how the traditional players are responding.

RE-ENGINEERING THE HOSPITAL: TAKING A SYSTEMS APPROACH

FORTIFYING AGAINST CYBERTHREATS

MEETING ROOM 8

Earlier this year, a California hospital paid a ransom to hackers to regain access to its own EMRs—just another sign of the virtual threats faced by the healthcare community. From simple malware infections and network failures to the potential hacking of medical devices, patient portals, EMRs, and mobile apps, the healthcare industry has stamped this issue urgent. Of equal concern is the fact that some intrusions can take months to detect, further magnifying the threat to patient care. Join the discussion to hear about how hospitals and healthcare systems can prioritize and implement systemwide cybersecurity standards and processes to keep pace with the industry’s increasing reliance on technology.

It’s been a decade since the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering noted that, in order to improve patient safety and quality of care, systems engineering principles that govern in other arenas from aviation to auto manufacturing to nuclear aircraft carriers would need to be applied in healthcare. But the challenges are great—notably the lack of interoperability of technologies, a payment model that rewards based on volume rather than efficiency and outcomes, and the complexity of care—and progress has been limited. We’ll hear from a few pioneers about the obstacles they faced and lessons learned. Speakers: • James C.

MOUNT VERNON SQUARE A The next era of healthcare will require organizations to drive behavior and performance as they never have previously. From clinical quality to patient access and engagement to physician alignment, providers will need to develop a wide range of new capabilities to succeed. Understanding how to benchmark and improve performance across such strategies will be key to succeeding in a patient-centric world. Join this session to discover how several organizations are using deep data visibility to measure and improve their performance.

CASE STUDY: ENGAGING PATIENTS TO EXPAND YOUR MARKET

CHARTING A NEW COURSE IN PEDIATRIC GENOMIC MEDICINE

MEETING ROOM 8

MEETING ROOM 2

As we move to a world of value-based healthcare that leverages reimbursements to achieve improved outcomes, the quality and efficiency of care delivery will be the difference between success and hardship. Equally important, as healthcare providers become financially accountable for the care they provide, external cultural factors and comorbidities that might be beyond a provider’s control will affect payments. Studies show that there is a definitive disparity in the prevalence of such external factors among racial and ethnic minority populations compared to other demographic groups. Helping these patients understand and manage these factors can lead to more efficient episodes of care and better outcomes, particularly for patients who suffer from chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Engaging patients in improving their overall health can lead to a higher quality, more efficient, and less costly experience. Through our Shared Decision Making tool, marginalized patients who might have been turned away by providers in the past become healthier patients who are less likely to experience re-hospitalization and complications. The tool helps patients understand the effects various treatment options can have both medically and financially. When patients comprehend the value of surgical intervention rather than delaying or deferring treatment altogether, they can make more informed choices. Hear from several providers about the demonstrable improvements that Shared Decision Making can deliver.

As technology has advanced and costs have come down, more and more children’s hospitals are tapping the power of sophisticated genetic testing as an increasingly routine part of care. Many pediatric institutions have established genomic medicine centers, sometimes in collaboration with adult hospitals or research universities. Such institutions are building sweeping databases of genetic data to more deeply understand the genetics of childhood cancers or rare diseases, for instance, and craft personalized treatment protocols where they can. But much of the territory is still uncharted, and many challenges remain, from hiring more genetic experts to putting in place the proper analytics infrastructure to interpret the data. This session will feature pediatric programs that are ahead of the curve in genomic medicine.
