Thank you to our wonderful participants this afternoon in the HCT Consulting Group Healthcare Transformation Executive Roundtable. Brian D. Washburn, DHA, MHA, FACHE, FACMPE, CHFP, PMP Chris Saxman Elizabeth Crawford Restat Elya Prystowsky, MS, PhD Mark Korth. I was encouraged by several insights from this amazing group: 👉 #Transformation - we know it when we see it! 👉 #Valuebasedcare - we know it when we don't! 👉 #Valuebasedcare means different things to #patients and #providers but we should not lose sight that like or not, we have to play by the language and definitions being proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 👉 #Transformation towards #VBC should be keeping healthcare simple, local and well-coordinated - what 99% of people are trying to do today. Organizing to stop the despicable 1% is adding 30% of costs to everyone - especially #ruralhealth 👉 #EMR Transformation has put some hospitals out of business and in some communities, when the hospital closes, the whole community shuts down 👉 #Transformation this group sees on the horizon includes demand for change only intensifying, doing more with fewer providers, addressing #documentation challenges, #AI should focus on removing the hassle of the little things 👉 MAJOR RISK AHEAD - Will #transformation defined by CMS #BigTech lead to a loss of simplifying the provider-patient experience? Will documentation to meet #VBC demands only escalate due to the 'potential' of what technology offers? And therefore, will health disparities only expand due to the inability of #ruralhealth to keep up? Ultimately - will we eventually have to unwind many of the current technology investments to one day return to a simpler provider-to-patient connection? Thanks again to our amazing participants. DM me if you'd like to be on our roster to participate in the next one!

Don't miss out on this morning's Association of Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals (AHVAP) 2024 Annual Conference and Industry Partner Expo Opening Keynote Speaker-Paul Martinelli. Paul Martinelli is an internationally acclaimed speaker, trainer, mentor, and coach who truly believes that if you can dream it, you can do it. While many people know Paul as the Founding President of The John Maxwell Team and Co-Founder of the Dr. Amen Brain Health Certification and The Cialdini Institute, what they may not know is that he is a high school dropout who overcame a stuttering disability to share the stage with some of the biggest names in leadership and personal development - names such as John C. Maxwell, Seth Godin, Dr. Robert Cialdini, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, Brian Tracy, Denis Waitley, Zig Ziglar, Les Brown, Nick Vujicic, Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Joseph McClendon 111, and Mark Victor Hansen. Paul was raised by a single mother in a Pittsburgh lower class family. In the late 1980’s, with just $200.00, a used vacuum, and a dream, he founded a small commercial cleaning company in South Florida.  He combined smart sales tactics with personal development teachings and propelled his business to unbelievable heights. Just 15 years later, he sold his commercial cleaning company to pursue his passion and purpose of teaching people how to achieve success in their own lives. His awareness and ability to apply the success strategies and principles that he has learned and taught to others, led to Paul’s success in life and business, including building 6 multi-million-dollar companies., with sales exceeding 1 Billion dollars, and clients in more than 162 countries throughout the world. He now leads the Empowered Living community, a global platform of more than 2.3 million followers, providing personal and professional development training and education to help individuals and businesses build and grow beyond their current results. Alongside of this, his most recent endeavor has him positioned as a leader in the field of sales training where his signature sales program teaches sales professionals what he has learned in his more than three decades experience as a successful entrepreneur and business leader. Paul Martinelli may not have a wall of diplomas, but you can’t argue with his PhD in results. Having worked his way up from mop bucket to multi-millionaire, Paul has practiced and proven what he preaches. #mindset #youcandoit #leadership #professionaldevelopment #AHVAP2024 #healthcare

Many organizations still rely on outdated and inefficient methods that are not suitable for the modern healthcare model. The journey toward a more efficient and profitable ambulatory care facility revolves around two pivotal strategies: process standardization and patient-centric care.
