🔍 Navigating the Changing Healthcare Landscape: Insights & Strategies for 2024 🔍 As healthcare professionals, we stand at the crossroads of an evolving industry, challenged by financial pressures yet buoyed by opportunities for innovation and improvement. A recent article highlights the financial momentum hospitals carried into 2024, despite rising expenses and the need for pivotal strategic decisions. Key takeaways include: ▪ Hospitals saw a year-to-date median operating margin of 2.3% in December, marking a continuous positive trend. ▪ Outpatient and inpatient revenues showed significant growth, alongside a notable reduction in the average length of stay, indicating operational efficiencies. ▪ The sector faced increased expenses, particularly in non-labor costs, yet labor expenses showed a slight decrease on a per adjusted discharge basis. ▪ Strategic considerations for hospitals now include service line rationalization and exploring partnerships for clinical service delivery. This landscape underscores the necessity for healthcare leaders to adapt, innovate, and make informed decisions to navigate through lean times. As part of Boise State's Masters of Population and Health Systems Management program, we equip future healthcare leaders with the knowledge and skills to tackle these challenges head-on. Our program emphasizes strategic management, operational efficiency, and innovation in healthcare delivery, preparing graduates to lead with confidence in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. We extend our gratitude to the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) for shedding light on these crucial developments. Their insights are invaluable to those of us committed to advancing healthcare management practices.

We're putting on a Speed Networking event at Scaling Up, and I am PUMPED. I realize I'm pumped for everything about Scaling Up, but let me tell you why this has me SUPER-PUMPED: The whole reason Scaling Up is amazing is because we've got dozens of the top healthcare marketers in the game, coming together to share their valuable insights and actionable tips. Fantastic, right? But take it one step further: What if you had a community of talented performance healthcare marketers that you could turn to whenever you ran into something tricky and wanted advice? Let me tell you from personal experience: It's pretty great to be able to jump on LinkedIn and drop a message to some of my private groups of healthcare marketers and say, "Hey, how would you handle this?" These communities are so valuable, I know I've been helped a ton by the wisdom and experience of my network so I'm excited to facilitate the opportunity for more community building.

Among the goals of the #EuropeanHealthDataSpace is facilitating data access for research and innovation purposes. A recent #comment published in #NatureMedicine by experts in various health data research fields highlights how cross-border sharing of health data can benefit the public. The authors note that "the research community has a lot at stake in terms of securing #public #support." In fact, although the EHDS mandates data holders to share their data, individual citizens still have the option to #OptOut. "Public opinion studies suggest that although the majority of citizens support using health data for research purposes, they also document a hesitation towards both commercial access and cross-border data usage. People might therefore choose to opt out on the basis of general reluctance, especially if the research community does not clearly demonstrate the benefits to public health of cross-border data sharing. For EHDS to deliver on its research promise, it is therefore necessary to explain why research enabled by the EHDS infrastructure might be beneficial to European citizens." The authors identify four interconnected areas in which improved data availability can enable better research outputs: 1️⃣ opportunities to explore differences 2️⃣ access to real-world data, 3️⃣ continuous public health surveillance 4️⃣ increased data diversity 🗞 Read the full paper in Nature Medicine (Nature Portfolio) https://buff.ly/3BB0vw9 #EHDS #HealthData #RareCancers #IDEA4RC

Payers, providers, and patients all win when they form collaborative, trusting partnerships – that’s why the KLAS K2 Collaborative Payer/Provider Summit highlights initiatives between payers, providers, and technology vendors that yield mutually beneficial outcomes. Recently, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Neil Kulkarni, Vice President, Product Management, Provider & Clinical Experience, Highmark Health, and Adrienne Mabee, Software Product Manager, enGen, attended the Summit to present their case study, titled “Transformative Collaboration with Long Term Outcomes.” Speaking to how enGen collaborated with providers and payers to bring the latest and most secure technical standards forward, Neil and Adrienne explained how Predictal – our Clinical Solution – ultimately drives health care impacts through industry best practices, resulting in scalable, repeatable, and sustainable business outcomes.

I am very much looking forward to moderating a panel at the 6th Annual International Patient Experience Symposium https://lnkd.in/gYxDrPre in Abu Dhabi 0n 27 - 29 May at The Regis Abu Dhabi. I will be exploring Patient Experience Excellence and Innovation as a key differentiator for healthcare. Being good at Patient Experience is a start and many healthcare orgs are achieving that. The critical question for many is how do you make Patient Experience a critical differentiator for your organisation? - Is it by trying to be as good as possible at your best practice? - Is it about technology and innovation? - Is it just about skilled and motivated people? - A combination? Or something else? Some of the newer insights may surprise you. Join us at what should be a fascinating and very worthwhile event - www.biiipx.com/register    #IPXSymposium #IPX #PX2024 #HealthcareRevolution #PatientExperience #PatientExperience2024 #PatientCentric #PatientEngagement #CareMeetsInnovation #healthcareinnovation #PatientCare #EmpathyInHealthcare #empathy #patientcenteredcare #patientsfirst #patientcentricity #patientoutcomes #healthcare #healthcareinnovations #healthtech
