No More Surprise Medical Billing: Impact of Transparency on Healthcare Costs

The Department of Health and Human Services announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is issuing two rules that take historic steps to increase price transparency to empower patients and increase competition among all hospitals, group health plans and health insurance issuers in the individual and group markets. This will make previously unavailable price information accessible to patients and other stakeholders in a standardized way, allowing for easy comparisons. This panel will discuss and debate the new rules, how hospitals comply with the requirements, monitoring, auditing and corrective action plans.

A Person-Centered Future for Healthcare

With data analytics, machine learning, and electronic health records, individuals are increasingly looked at from a data perspective, instead of a human perspective. While the use of data analytics and artificial intelligence has increasingly provided better studies and results for patients, as well as created a more convenient environment, technology has taken a toll on the patient experience and put a barrier up between a person and their health.

Healthcare Outside the Hospital: Opportunities in Retail Clinics and Convenient Care

Trends in healthcare point to patients leaning toward care at a lower cost, the most convenient location, and a declining interest in a patient-physician relationship. Because of this, many hospitals are facing low admission and having to merge with other hospitals to continue caring for patients. Large health systems must compete to win over patients from going to a retail clinic instead. This session will discuss ways that health systems and their leaders can find opportunity in retail clinics through telemedicine services, reintroducing house calls, and other innovative ideas.

Partnering with Entrepreneurial and Venture-Backed Organizations

The growth of venture capital and venture capital -backed startups deserves the attention of healthcare leaders because advancements in medicine are no longer exclusively born from providers within the delivery system and increasingly from innovators outside of it. While venture capital-backed startups in digital health offer opportunities to affect the cost and quality of care, they often pose potential risks to patient care.

Innovative Management of Hospital Support Services

A core problem complex medical facilities face is the lack of clarity about where people are located within the system. Henry Ford Health System decided to face this problem with the implementation of the NavvTrack system. This system is a novel indoor location and logistics management platform that provides real-time location data for hospital support services such as transport, environmental services, and pharmacy using only WiFi networks and mobile devices. NavvTrack was collaboratively developed at HFHS using Apple technology, now commercialized by NAVV Systems, a spin-out from Henry Ford Innovations. This presentation will tell the story behind the design, development, and implementation of the NavvTrack system at Henry Ford Health System (HFHS).

How Healthcare Leaders are Addressing Behavioral Health

The healthcare industry has shown an increase in behavioral health cases as more and more patients are showing signs of mental illness. Conditions like depression, anxiety, and dementia have spiked in numbers and are changing how health systems handle these disorders. Gun violence has been an example of how individuals with struggling cognitive function have severely changed the industry’s focus onto behavioral health, while the opioid crisis has been an increasingly alarming topic as the rise of deaths from overdosing these medications has come to an all time high. This session will answer topics such as statistics for rising mental illnesses and how to combat large amounts of behavioral health cases.

Aligning Clinical and Claims Data to Improve Outcomes and Quality

Electronic Health Records have made a significant impact on how clinicians take care of their patients. Being able to see a patients' health history allows the clinicians to have a more holistic view of care. However, EHR data is not necessarily combined with a patients' claim data, making the water murky as clinicians have no idea what claims their patient has already made as they come in to receive care. While EHR data primarily focuses on recording patient care, and claims data focuses on the billing of health services, combining these two records has shown to improve overall quality measurement. Combining two sources of healthcare data creates an analytic resource stronger than either source individually.

Mergers and Acquisitions: Partnering for Success

Increasing financial pressures are pushing providers and even non-provider entities to engage in healthcare merger and acquisition activity. Value-based reimbursement, shrinking hospital margins, and record-high healthcare spending are pushing providers to consider new partnerships to achieve efficiency and cost control. And providers are contemplating healthcare mergers and acquisitions sooner rather than later to achieve their goals.

Linking Genetics and Primary Care: Taking Action on Genetic Conditions

Health systems are becoming increasingly interested in incorporating genetic information into a patient's care plan. As consumer interest in genetic testing continues to increase, since consumers are more interested in how their inherited health impacts future wellness, hospitals are looking for new ways to incorporate genetic information into primary care. Integrating genetic information into the day-to-day care of patients has been challenging. This case study presentation will discuss how hospitals and health systems are breaking down these barriers.
