      Hub Chats: Big Ideas. Bite-Sized. Brought to You by Industry Innovators.

      Located in The Hub, these fast-paced, 20-minute sessions will deliver fresh perspectives and actionable insights from leading solution providers and your health system and medical group peers. 

      Amee Devani, Chief Executive Officer, WellBeam, and Jill Martiin, Chief Executive Officer, Cedars-Sinai Medical Network

      Physicians in their ambulatory practices are still reliant upon manual, fax-based care management with their home health agency partners. These non-EMR integrated workflows  create care delays, administrative burden on physician teams, and lost revenue opportunities for providers in the physician networks doing the work but not easily able to capture billing charges for work taking place outside of their EMR. In this 20-minute executive briefing, Amee Devani, CEO of WellBeam, joins Jill Martin, CEO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Network, to discuss how CSMN utilized WellBeam across both primary care and specialty provider functions to bring these clinical workflows directly within the EMR.

      The results were rapid and measurable:
      1.    Providers were able to automate the capture of the billing charges directly within Epic, enabling the project to break even within 4 months from go-live;
      2.     Home health order turnaround time was reduced by 85% enabling compliance with the 30-day home health billing window;
      3.    Automation of this heavily manual workflow workflow reduced the administrative workload for provider teams by 70%, opening up time for patient focused care.

      This session offers practical insights for healthcare executives seeking scalable ways to streamline physician–home health collaboration, reduce administrative overhead and improve the financial sustainability of longitudinal care management programs.

      According to the CDC, every 8 seconds someone >65 falls and visits the emergency room due to an injury costing the health system billions of dollars. At the same time, and as demonstrated by dozens of published peer reviewed research, the positive impact of physical activity on chronic medical conditions is undisputed.  CMS/CMMI’s three pillars, which include evidence-based prevention and helping patients meet their health goals, and the new LEAD ACO, and CARA framework, will focus more on fall prevention.  Join Philip Oravetz, MD Ochsner Health’s Chief Population Health Officer and Pete Fronte, MBA Altura’s Founder and CEO discuss the latest trends and options for healthcare systems.

      Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) provide risk assessments that trigger care coordination and disease-specific interventions. However, accurately determining the current state of HCCs is challenging. Leveraging AI to accurately understand a patient’s disease burden benefits patients, care teams, and improves value-based financial performance. It facilitates effective communication of the patient’s disease status for risk stratification, leading to enhanced care coordination, and improved value performance. AI offers the potential to streamline routine tasks for physicians, care teams, and support staff. After listening to this session the audience will recognize the significance of accurate disease recognition; understand the impact of accurate HCCs on care coordination and quality of care; learn how AI can seamlessly enhance disease recognition in the provider workflow; and understand how AI can speed operational efficiencies.
