Hospital @ Home Leadership Summit
2023-06-05 - 2023-06-06 | Boston, MA
While health care challenges in the first wave of COVID-19 sparked interest, the value proposition of in-home hospitalization alternatives is fueling the model’s momentum as we move out of the public health emergency. Although, early in the pandemic, large academic medical centers and health systems adopted the shift through the government’s Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver, payers are increasingly leaning into strategies that include high-acuity health care in the home. However, to create sustainable reimbursement mechanisms, we first need a better definition of the value provided by this model of care. Permanente physician leader Vivian Reyes, MD, join the panel, “The Payer’s Perspective: A Broader Definition of Value,” which will explore the considerations from the perspective of a payer including how to clinical comfortability (quality and safety), member experience of care, and figuring out mundane logistics like billing procedures. Join this panel on June 6, at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Learning objectives

Discussing the key metrics to better understand bottom line value
Exploring the payer’s perspective on the value of high-acuity healthcare in the home, including quality and safety; measuring medical cost savings; and the value beyond direct medical cost savings
Understanding the obstacles to ongoing scaling of these programs
Learning more about the monthly reporting requirements including unanticipated mortality, transfer to inpatient care at brick-and-mortar hospitals, and volume of patients treated

As hospitals and health systems grapple with a myriad of priorities and significant challenges, there is increasing public and political pressure to add environmental sustainability to the work. In keeping with their missions, hospitals and health systems are seeking to be better stewards of the environment while addressing financial pressures, staffing challenges, and other priorities. There are significant opportunities to use environmental sustainability work to supplement and even enhance the work on these other priorities. During the American Hospital Association’s Leadership Summit in Seattle, a panel session featuring Permanente physician leader Colin Cave, MD, will examine how environmental sustainability fits into a hospital’s mission, provide specific examples of the benefits of using environmental stewardship to bolster already existing work, and discuss innovative approaches to best incorporate environmental sustainability efforts into an organization’s ongoing priorities.
Speakers

Colin Cave, MD, director of External Affairs, Government Relations, and Community Health, Northwest Permanente
Ali Santore, executive vice president and chief advocacy and social responsibility officer, Providence
Terri Scannell, principal advisor, Sustainability and ESG, OhioHealth
Richie Stever, vice president of Real Estate and Construction, University of Maryland Medical System
Mark Howell, director, Policy and Patient Safety, American Hospital Association (moderator)

The health care industry faces an ongoing physician shortage, so there’s a need to ensure a regular pipeline of new doctors. During the summer, residency begins for a lot of medical school graduates and graduate medical education (GME) is a necessity for residents to gain the training they need to enter practice. Are there enough GME programs to sufficiently meet the needs of residents, and what are some innovative programs to advance resident training? Join is for this PermanenteDocs Chat on GME, co-presented with the American Medical Association, on July 17, 2023, Monday, at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET with host Alex McDonald, MD, chatting with guest Sanjay Desai, MD, of the AMA.
