NJHIMSS Reclaiming Care Time: Enhancing Operations for Patient Experience

Reclaiming Care Time: Enhancing Operations for the Patient Experience

Join us for an exciting event focused on exploring strategies and solutions for enhancing operational efficiencies while prioritizing exceptional patient experiences. This event focuses on the critical challenge of reclaiming valuable time for patient care by streamlining workflows, leveraging advanced technologies, and optimizing processes. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how healthcare systems can reduce administrative burdens, improve team productivity, and foster meaningful patient-provider interactions.Learn from industry experts and network with healthcare professionals at the APA Hotel Woodbridge.

Info: o Understand the relationship between patient experience and clinician experience/burnout. Examine how patient experience can be negatively impacted through case examples of well-intended policies that resulted in operational inefficiencies
o Explore how the science of human factors and ergonomics can help with operational decision-making and planning when implementing technology to improve both patient experience and streamline workflows
o Explore how AI-based solutions are reducing administrative burdens and the emerging published research on the impact on clinician wellbeing, patient experience and patient safety
o Review how past federal and state policies have led to worsened administrative burden and patient experience, and explore opportunities at both the policy and health system level to return time and presence back to patients and their care teams

Info: We'll be joined by Vikas Khosla (Digital Health Growth Strategist), Kennedy Ganti (Regional VP of Health Informatics, RWJBarnabas Health) & Mary Akin (Director, HCIS). Learn how local leaders are leveraging Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in different aspects of clinical care and hospital operations. Clinician burdens affect patient safety and experience, by implementing initiatives that simplify clinical documentation through ambient AI tools and coding support we can optimize clinical care.

Info: In this presentation, we delve into the critical strategies for reducing readmissions and improving care coordination. As healthcare organizations face steep penalties for readmissions, the need to optimize patient transitions has never been more urgent. We explore how forming robust post-acute networks can enhance patient outcomes, and the importance of real-time monitoring of length of stay. By enhancing visibility into post-acute clinical data, including for out-of-network patients, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions and improve the overall quality of care transitions. Under the new administration, we are seeing a need for more cost control and utilizing technology to be successful in reducing cost. This panel will discuss these topics through moderation by Christine McBride.
