Time: Thursday 8:10am - 9:00am Credits: 1 TB
Matthew J. Wright, Senior Associate Director, Federal Relations, American Hospital Association
In 2020, COVID-19 undermined our nation’s health and severely tested our hospitals and health systems. At the same time that a series of spikes in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations put intense pressure on hospital staff and resources, steep declines in non-COVID-19 volume led to sharply lower revenues. It remains important to positively influence public policies at the federal level that will impact patients, communities, and the health care field. During this session, you will learn about public policies that have impacted the health care sector in 2021, as well public policies that may have an impact in the months to come.

Combating Security and Privacy Challenges for Telehealth
Time: Thursday 9:05am - 9:55am Credits: 1 AA
Deepak Chaudhry, MSIS, ITIL, FHIMSS, CPHIMS, Managing Director, IT Services, BDO Digital, LLC
Many health care organizations are struggling with the effective deployment of a new patient care approach. Organizations adapted to work from home and remote patient care overnight but now need to make it compliant, manage its security and scale as demands grow. Without adequate security and privacy protections for underlying telehealth data and systems, providers and patients will lack trust in the use of telehealth solutions. Although some federal and state guidelines for telehealth security and privacy have been established, many gaps remain. This session will review security and privacy challenges related to telehealth and how to address such challenges.

Time: Thursday 10:20am - 11:10am Credits: 1 AA
Daron Tarlton, CPA, Partner, Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP
Kelly Smith, CPA, Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP
From the moment the first round of Provider Relief Funds were sent out (unsolicited and practically unannounced) in April 2020, healthcare providers across the country have struggled to understand the "moving target" of PRF compliance. All along the way, there have been more questions than answers...and the answers have often been contradictory. How do you define "lost revenue"? What expenses are allowable? How long are the funds available? Can I transfer them to affiliates? What are the reporting and auditing requirements? Is HHS going to reject and/or recoup funds? What are the deadlines? How should they be accounted for? And on and on and on. Whether you have been tracking closely all along, or have barely been paying attention, attend this in-depth session to get fully up to speed and learn what you need to know now about the Provider Relief Funds.

Keynote Presentation: Whole Person Care: Meeting the Consumer Where They Are to Provide the Best Possible Care
Time: Thursday 1:15pm - 2:05pm Credits: 1 TB
Terry Shaw, President and Chief Executive Officer, Advent Health
Patients are much more than their diagnosis, they are a whole being comprised of their body, mind and spirit. In addition, they are also a reflection of their thoughts, beliefs and experiences. Healthcare is the most personal and intimate experience for all of us and those who provide care must take all of this into account to treat the whole person. However, the healthcare experience has become less personal, and consumers often find themselves lost and frustrated in an overwhelming and confusing bureaucracy.
AdventHealth is built on a legacy of providing whole person care, dating back to the founding of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As such, AdventHealth has been pursuing a vision for the organization where whole person care is delivered to every person, every time. Delivering whole person care begins with an assurance that your organization exemplifies clinical excellence, putting the needs of the consumer are up front, offering spiritual care and people staying connected to the system because it’s easy to navigate.
Terry Shaw, President and CEO of AdventHealth will provide an overview of the steps that AdventHealth has pursued through its Vision 2030 plan. This begins with a firm mission, values and service standards for the organization. Some of the key areas that will be covered include the steps for achieving clinical excellence, creating a platform for delivering spiritual care, addressing health inequities, taking care of the team members who deliver care, and developing a connected system that is more easily navigated by the consumer.

Time: Friday 12:30pm - 1:20pm Credits: 1 AA

The Dunning Kruger Effect: Not knowing what we don't know. We often don't know what we don't know, and we're usually most confident in those areas where we are most ignorant. Compounding this problem is that we are too busy, view things as immaterial, and have an "It can't happen here mentality." This results in comfortable inaction, or not doing or investigating the very things we should! We'll look into these risk areas, understand why we don't react until it's too late, and the red flags which are hidden in plain sight that we often miss as it relates to various fraud and vendor-related billing schemes. We will also provide tools you can immediately use to identify and mitigate risks in your own organization before it too late.
