Building Skills: A Pathway to Patient Connection, Team Collaboration and Leadership Effectiveness 
Sponsored by Practicing Excellence 

Stephen Beeson, MD, Family Medicine Physician and Founder, Clinician Experience Project, Practicing Excellence

Every organization is challenged with two fundamental imperatives. First, create a culture where care team members stay and engage. And two, create an experience for patients that advances loyalty to our organizations, and engagement in care. As workforce instability and burnout reach all-time highs, and the rise of consumerism and patient choice are challenging our hold on the market, both are equally important to assure the success of our organizations. 

In this session, Dr. Stephen Beeson, Founder of Practicing Excellence, author, and family medicine physician, takes you on the application of people development to power the experience of patients and care team simultaneously. Dr. Beeson outlines a tested method of systemic skill-building to render witnessable patient connection, team collaboration, and leadership effectiveness by targeting skill development directly to team engagement and patient experience goals.

Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Outline recent data on the state of experience for patients and care teams.
• Apply a sequenced approach of mapping a skill-building approach to priorities of patient connection, team collaboration, and leadership effectiveness.
• Review the results and data when skill-building is applied as a path to achieve priorities in patient connection and talent retention.

Grace Terrell, MD, Chief Medical Officer; Sri Madabushi, MD, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Value-Based Care; and Elise-Marie Menke, Vice President of Product, IKS Health 

Cost-effective whole-person care is a holy grail. In a world where whole-person health requires compassionate human touch, considerations of social determinants, mental and psychological well-being, etc., is the brouhaha over generative AI misplaced and a distraction? 

In this session, a technologist and a physician executive will debate the role of emerging technologies, including generative AI, in helping to meet the healthcare challenges of today and the future. They will each start in their respective corners and argue their side, but will then make a case for why success likely lies in an AND, and not an OR.
