This session highlights Sutter Health’s best practices in the development of a long-term organizational well-being strategy, and illuminates the current state of physician and APP well-being using de-identified data from a national comparison report. As an organization with multiple medical foundations under one health system, Sutter Health measures above the national averages across a number of organizational well-being factors – including satisfaction, stress, burnout, intent to leave, and feeling valued.

These well-being factors contribute to the session dialogue regarding what resources are needed to keep clinicians in their place of practice, with research showing that top factors include compensation, consistent staffing and enhanced workflow efficiency. Additionally, a protective factor to burnout involves feeling valued by one’s organization. The dialogue includes how to foster that feeling of value and what impact on the business of medicine these interventions deliver.

Due to the ubiquity of big data, its value often gets lost. AMGA member Advocare and AMGA partners MagMutual and Acadia have spent years identifying data that can both reduce risk and increase revenue. What started as a small set of quality measures has grown into a comprehensive analytics platform that aligns quality with reimbursements. 

MagMutual PolicyOwner Advocare is one of those practices using the data to make informed business decisions and ensure their long-term ability to service their communities. Throughout the course of the webinar, they will share how it has positively affected their practice in numerous ways.

One slice of data relates to the commercial reimbursement rates that are now, for the first time, publicly available (but incredibly difficult to structure and analyze). These data will rewrite antitrust law and render "black box" analyses obsolete. But how can they be used today?

Sponsored by MagMutual, a highly data-driven and innovative medical professional liability insurer, this webinar will feature the organization’s experts, as well as those from Acadia and Advocare. The group will highlight this new data set and walk through how healthcare organizations can leverage it.
