Reuters Events™: Increase Women’s Access to Gender Specific Care and Preventative Care
2023-08-17 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual Event
Poor access, increasing levels of maternal morbidity, and mortality as well as limited ob-gyn care team numbers. Is this the reality for American women?
With resources having been directed away from women’s health over the past 3 years due to the global health emergency, gender–specific care access among the female population in North America has drastically worsened every year, causing a concerning spike in negative patient outcomes.
This Reuters Events webinar looks at how health organizations can leverage digital tools to increase interaction between women and their care teams, as well as maximize the potential remote monitoring initiatives have, in battling the “OB deserts” crisis.
In this webinar, a group of experts in the women’s health space will share the blueprint on how to:

Increase women’s engagement with their own health by providing higher levels of interaction with their care team via a central platform.
Reduce negative patient outcomes as a result of “OB deserts” and build in-house remote care programs of which cater to women in high-risk situations, particularly pregnancies, as well as low risk ones.
Successfully scale out and operate women’s remote care programs across large catchment areas in such a way, that maternal morbidity and mortality decreases regardless of the lack of OB providers.

Over the next decade, nontraditional primary care physicians could capture around 30% of the U.S. market. For a decade now, primary care has seen a steady stream of new business and clinical models, including those from advanced primary care doctors, retailers, and payers. By 2030, the space won’t look the same at all, with expectations that nontraditional primary care physicians will make up as much as a third of the market. Payers, health systems, and investors will need to make strategic choices to determine where to play and how to win over the next decade.
The first discussion on September 15, from 8 to 9 a.m. ET is entitled: “Primary Care 2030: Innovative Models That Will Transform the Healthcare Landscape.”
Speakers

Hospitals without Walls: The Future of Healthcare
January 22, 2024, 9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.
In the wake of the pandemic, doctors and designers are radically adapting their thinking about what a hospital can be and what it should deliver. The healthcare industry as we know it is undergoing a monumental transformation as providers increasingly connect with patients outside of a hospital’s four walls to enable more care and healing at home. Telehealth is quickly becoming a new best practice in the industry and accepted way to enhance the patient experience and improve patient outcomes, all while potentially lowering the cost of care. Rather than serving as hubs of all care, hospitals are fast becoming centers of excellence for specialized care or highly acute conditions, and health care systems are turning to hospital-at-home models of care for other services traditionally delivered in person. With these shifts, telehealth becomes the patient’s first point of access for urgent care, consultations with a specialist, self-care education, chronic care management, and more. While COVID-19 was certainly a catalyst for this transition, telehealth utilization has stabilized at levels higher than before the pandemic – a clear sign that it is here to stay. This session will explore hospital-at-home models.

Speaker

Vivian Reyes, MD, national physician lead, Kaiser Permanente Care at Home, The Permanente Federation, and regional medical director, The Permanente Medical Group

Panel: Hospital at Home Success Stories
January 22, 2024, 2:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
How can a healthcare organization provide high-quality hospital-level care to acutely ill older adults in their home that improves outcomes, reduces health care costs, and enhances the patient experience? Hospital at Home is an innovative care model being adopted by health care organizations that provides hospital-level care in a patient’s home as a full substitute for acute hospital care. The program is being implemented at numerous sites around the country by hospitals, health systems, home care providers, and managed care programs as a tool to cost-effectively treat acutely ill older adults, while improving patient safety, quality, and satisfaction. In this session you will hear success stories from leaders in the hospital at home field.
