Workshop #1
A Glimpse into the Future:  Emerging Partnership Models for Achieving Value-based Performance
Ed Giniat, National Sector Leader – Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, KPMG, Chicago, IL; Frederick Hessler, Managing Director, Healthcare Group, Citigroup, New York, NY; David M. Lawrence MD, MPH, Chairman and CEO (Retired), Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Oakland, CA and Jacque Sokolov, MD, Chairman and Senior Partner, SSB Solutions, Scottsdale, AZ.  Moderated by Ian Morrison

This highly interactive workshop will focus on the innovative and emerging partnerships and enterprise-to-enterprise interactions that are moving us toward a more integrated clinical delivery and financing model in which performance is based on value.   Senior leaders will gain an understanding of the breadth of non-traditional relationships and affiliations that are emerging between providers, insurers, physicians and private equity and other capital entrants, and gain clarity on the strategic implications for their organizations. We will address such issues as:

• What is occurring along the spectrum of insurer-sponsored, health system and physician led, and for-profit /private equity enabled initiatives?
  
  
• What’s driving the various examples in the different marketplaces?
  
  
• What are the options and strategies that a hospital or health system should be considering depending on what their organization is capable of financially and managerially?
  
  
• If the system is truly transitioning from fee-for-service to real value-based reimbursement structures, clinical integration is key and meaningful physician leadership is critical. What are the "ABC's" of the Clinically Integrated Organization?
  
  
• What are the core elements for the new business models, the "nuts and bolts" that must be in place – such as governance structure, process management, leadership competencies, and IT infrastructure – to form a high-functioning organization?

Workshop #2
Creating a Healing Experience: Improving Outcomes and Delivering Value through Healing Oriented Practices and Environments
Laurie Eberst, President and CEO, St John's Hospitals in Oxnard & Camarillo and Dignity Health, Senior Vice President Operations for Ventura County, Oxnard, CA; David M. Eisenberg, MD, Senior Fellow, Samueli Institute, Alexandria, VA; Wayne Jonas, MD, President and CEO, Samueli Institute, Alexandria, VA; and Lorissa MacAllister, President, Enviah, Grand Rapids, MI

In this session, you will learn why creating an optimal healing environment (OHE) in your hospital can help create a culture that supports health and healing, promotes safety, improved patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. Creating an OHE is a new way of thinking about how health care is delivered – by taking into consideration all factors that influence the optimal healing of the patient, from the built environment and organizational culture to integrative health practices and healthy lifestyles. Presenters will discuss creating healing spaces; building an organizational culture of healing; providing integrative team based care; and promoting healthy lifestyle changes using innovative techniques such as culinary experiential learning.

Workshop #3
The Leadership Skills Needed to Drive Down Hospital Readmissions
Michael E. Frisina, PhD, President, The Frisina Group, Elgin, SC

Preventing avoidable hospital readmissions is not only a quality issue; it’s a major financial concern. Healthcare leaders can adopt fresh strategies to reduce unnecessary readmissions, which begin when the patient is admitted and include discharge team assessment and home health collaboration. Despite process improvements, results are still lagging, and research points to a missing element—tactical capacity. It is the team’s inability to work under challenging conditions and rapidly translate strategies into tactical actions. Effective tactical capacity bridges the gap between strategy and execution to ensure good strategy does not fail because of bad execution.

Participants in this dynamic workshop will:

• Integrate the key elements of people, plan and process
  
  
• Discover the five components of tactical capacity that drive superior performance and reduce the likelihood of the patient returning to the hospital
  
  
• Identify the sources of disruptive behavior that lead to medical errors, mistakes and avoidable readmissions
  
  
• Master the influential leadership strategies to increase the cognitive skills leading to enhanced performance
