Join Me at the Medical Informatics World 2016

Category : Healthcare General

medical informatics world (2)On April 4-5 I will be presenting at the Fourth Annual Medical Informatics World Conference 2016 in Boston, MA.

On April 4th I will be co-leading a breakout discussion group on Population Health Analytics and on April 5th, I will be presenting, “The Foundational Approach to Population Health Analytics”.

Description:
The shift from a fee for service business model to one based on population health requires healthcare organizations to not only understand the health of the patients in their portfolio but also, predict potential future health challenges. This presentation will help organizations understand the building blocks that must be in place to effectively compete using healthcare analytics. Guidelines for analytics implementation will be reviewed as well as presenting how it can be used to compete using healthcare analytics.

Please join me and a few hundred of your colleagues as we focus on to effectively use analytics in healthcare.

The study reveals the importance of executive leadership skills in bringing about support of analytics and the extent to which findings from analytic efforts are incorporated into how organizations change and adapt. This aspect of leadership, while learnable, needs to happen quickly if organizations want to achieve the desired incomes from their forays into analytics.

Do patients held for observation skew performance on quality measures?

Just how much success have hospitals had in their efforts to prevent patients from returning soon after leaving? Perhaps not as much as reported, two physicians argue at the blog for health policy journal Health Affairs.

Start With Champions, Not Antagonists – Like the Dancing Shirtless Guy

Category : Change Management Leadership

This article very interesting and contrary point of view towards leadership. Mr. Murphy is right on target though and his concepts are proven by watching how a dancing shirtless guy (see video below) creates a (change) movement. It’s uncanny how dead on he is. The ‘first follower’ would be the same as the champion. Enjoy.
