Description Coming Soon!

Recently, mental health has become a priority for both patients and providers. With an increased demand for behavioral health care, community health centers can implement innovative strategies to increase access to behavioral health. Integration of behavioral health and oral health is a strategy to help increase access to both behavioral health and oral health while acknowledging the importance of team-based care. This session will provide an overview for integration in health centers and share the framework for implementing integration projects in community health centers.

This presentation is designed to discuss leadership's role, responsibilities and strategies to implement integrated care at their community health center. We will discuss Visioning, Practice Transformation and case studies of successful and less successful practice transformations. We will discuss common implementation issues and challenges, particularly in areas with few behavioral health resources, and comprehensive leadership strategies to improve integrated care success. 

Criminal ransomware extortion gangs are targeting healthcare organizations everyday with ransomware. It's time to make sure you're ready to defend your patients, employees, and business.

In this presentation, you'll see the three very important steps to building a strong anti-ransomware program: Preventing, Detecting, and Responding. Most organizations focus too much on prevention without putting enough resources in detecting and responding. By focusing on all three steps, you'll be ready when the criminals get in. That means you'll limit the impact on patients, avoid ransom payments, and keep your business running.

We'll take you through real-world scenarios in which healthcare organizations stopped cybercriminals, and we'll show you how they did it, so you can too.

As our healthcare providers of all types come out of the COVID-19 pandemic having spent down any supplemental money that they had received and find themselves in an environment where revenue generation is becoming more and more challenging at the same time their costs centers are growing at an alarming rate to make their operating margins increasingly difficult to protect, there has never been a more important time for the patient care industry to learn how other successful industries use their quality programs to protect the money they can make and how they get to spend it. It is the time for all providers to learn the importance of managing money and quality like they are two sides of the same coin where the strength of one's quality program is central to protecting the health of the bottom line.
