Combine that urgency with new federal regulations that require expanded access and control for healthcare consumers, and it’s clear hospitals and health systems need to think more proactively about their interoperability strategies.

COVID-19 Vaccine Administration & Tracking: Understanding the Privacy Implications – At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, privacy concerns related to contact tracing were a dominating topic in the national dialogue around the virus. As its days appear finally to be numbered, it is closing with an uproar over the privacy implications of “vaccine passports” and the delicate balance between protecting the public and an individual’s right to privacy. Along the way, we as a nation have worried about data collection, storage, and sharing; public health surveillance; and potential bias and discrimination related to one’s COVID and/or vaccine status. Although there are no easy answers to these complex public health, civil liberties, and equity issues, understanding the issues and where the tensions lie is key to combating and ultimately eradicating the virus.

Optimize Your Healthcare Data Quality Investment: Three Ways to Accelerate Time to Value and Prepare for the Future – Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on data to inform strategic decisions. This growing dependence makes ensuring data across the organization is fit for purpose more critical than ever. Decision-making challenges associated with pandemic-driven urgency, variety of data, and lack of resources have further highlighted the critical importance of healthcare data quality and prompted more focus and investment. However, many data quality initiatives are too narrow in focus and reactive in nature or take longer than expected to demonstrate value. This leaves organizations unprepared for future events, like COVID-19, that require a rapid enterprise-wide analytic response. What are some actionable ways you can help your organization guard against the data quality challenges uncovered this past year and better prepare to respond in the future? Join this live webinar with Taylor Larsen, Director of Data Quality for Health Catalyst, to learn more.

Denials Management – Path to Real Return On Investment (ROI) – Denials Management (DM) is a mainstay of traditional revenue cycle management. For that reason, it is often undervalued by strategic finance leaders who are focused on the shift from volume to value. This is a mistake, because Denials Management is as relevant today as it was decades ago. Effective Denials Management not only supports a strong revenue stream under existing fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement, it is a key tool for managing the full range of value-based payment (VBP) contracts.
