Summary
Nearly all of the 30 speakers framed their talks around the healthcare staffing crisis and the escalating complexities of and solutions for caring for sicker patients in home-based settings. More panels discussed why leveraging analytics at the point of care doesn’t just improve operational expenses but can also enhance the provider experience. Speaker Nick Knowlton, vice president of strategic initiatives at ResMed and board chairman of CommonWell Health Alliance, expanded on this point and stated technology systems must overcome the friction for stakeholders to share, collect and act on information, saying, “if you want to manage patients with multiple co-morbidities and improve their outcomes...you have to have multiple stakeholders engaged. As part of its recognition, Forcura gifted $5,000 to the Amedisys Foundation, which provides financial assistance to home health, hospice and personal care patients as well as employees. The Forcura suite of tools is powered by Forcura Connect, a proprietary framework for standardizing interoperability and integration among post-acute health care organizations, physicians, electronic health records (EHRs) and other supporting technology vendors.
