Dear Esteemed Colleague,

From payment models to new reporting measures, health reform and a number of other environmental factors are fundamentally impacting health care organizations. As reimbursements begin to drop and budgets start to stagnate, health care providers must focus on quality, efficiency, and transparency to maintain market share and reimbursement rates from public and private payers.

I invite you to join us on June 24-25, 2014 in Philadelphia for the the Hospital and Health System Summit on improving Patient Safety and Clinical outcomes, where we convene as an industry to discuss these problems, pose pragmatic solutions, and discuss strategies to continue the transition from volume to value.

Content during this innovative and comprehensive meeting shows hospitals and health systems how to survive and thrive in the post-reform landscape by making quality improvements financially feasible for 2015 and beyond. Fresh perspectives through case studies, interactive panel discussions, and in-depth sessions provide participants with actionable solutions and strategies to better their organizations.

Key topics of discussion include data analytics and clinical care process improvements that reduce waste, physician engagement strategies, input from various hospital rating entities, and a Spotlight Address from the Joint Commission and Connecticut Hospital Association regarding High Reliability Organizations.

I hope to see you at this year’s Summit as we work to integrate innovation and quality improvements that strengthen your organization.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Mort, Md, MPH Senior Vice President, Quality and Safety, Chief Quality Officer, MASSACHuSEttS GEnErAl HoSPitAl

Pre-Summit Workshops (Choose A or B)8:30 am – 11:45 am Option A:

C-Suite Invitational Roundtable*In this exclusive gathering, top executives from hospitals, health systems, and integrated delivery systems convene to discuss and debate the top trends and issues in health care quality. The role of the C-suite executive has evolved to reflect the tremendous market changes instituted by health reform and technology. In this intimate meeting, C-Suite executives discuss the industry’s biggest challenges, issues unique to their C-Suite role, strategic vision, and the next steps for health care organizations in a post-reform world.

• Discuss rapid market changes and challenges specific to C-Suite roles• Explore the interdependence of quality and cost, and long-term strategy

to unite the two entities• Share best practices for creating, evaluating, and measuring the

success, return, and cost of quality programs • Understand and evaluate the concepts of innovative and

transformational health care• Prepare and share solutions that create added value within your

organization and address declining reimbursement rates• Examine the addition of a Chief Clinical Officer, Chief Quality Officer,

Chief Analytics Officer, and Chief Patient Experience Officer to the C-Suite

• Outline the use of technology as an industry disrupter that has significant impact on long and short term costs

• Identify the opportunities and consequences of internal and external transparency– Will it last? How has it changed care? Has it influenced standards?

How was it shifted priorities? Has it affected brand value? Should you be more involved?

Option B: Build the Case for Quality — How to Communicate ROI to Ensure Quality Program Funding and Sustainability For many health care providers, quality has always been at the center of their organization’s core mission values. However for others, the transition from volume to value is a difficult shift. To make this transition easier, introducing the role of a Chief Quality Officer is vital. However, not all organizations have this quality advocate in their executive leadership team. In this in-depth workshop, learn how to effectively communicate the importance of a strong quality program to senior leadership and outline ways quality can contribute to overall success.

• Learn how to best communicate the vitality of a quality program to executive leadership teams

• Identify how quality can positively influence other areas, such as marketing and branding, finance, etc.

• Partner with IT, finance, clinical units, supply chain, and other departments for research, support, and implementation planning

• Outline the interdependence of quality and costs• Discover innovative ways to measure ROI and other intangible

measures of success and profitability• Cultivate a culture of collaboration that puts quality and patient

experience at the center of the organization’s mission• Build dashboards and metrics to report on the progress of your

program and measure results• Effectively build a case for continued and growing investments

into quality programs over the next five to ten years, despite reimbursement cutbacks and budget restraints– staffing, system improvements, infrastructure, etc.

Perspective From the RatersMany entities have started to release quarterly or annual quality ratings for hospitals, health systems, and other health care organizations in hopes to promote price and quality transparency.
