This interactive session demonstrates tools and methodologies that will provide an effective strategy to utilize your organization’s existing talent. You will learn ways to create a customizable approach to effectively engage your workforce, elevate their productivity and transform them into high performing teams.
Objectives:

Connecting Providers Forum: Healthcare Is Scorching Its Providers: The Burnout Epidemic

Friday, October 27th – 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Provider burnout is at an all-time high. Two thirds of family physicians report at least one element of burnout. Some specialties suffer higher burnout rates than others. Many factors contribute including growing regulatory pressures, inefficient EHRs, emphasis on RVUs, poor workflows, and work-life imbalance. Dr. Steven Waldren, Director of the Alliance for eHealth Innovation of the American Academy of Family Physicians will discuss the impact of burnout on healthcare providers and ways to avoid it. We will then have an open forum with GE Healthcare exploring how Centricity can assist providers to lessen the burden of EHRs on burnout.

Introducing Hospital Connect: See How You Can Save Providers an Hour per Day

Join our webinar to learn more

October 12, 2017

Dear Centricity™ Practice Solution and Centricity EMR Customers:

The value of patient care is the single most important factor of success for healthcare organizations transitioning to value-based care. Care coordination across delivery settings is one powerful way for ambulatory practices to increase that value by enhancing care quality, reducing cost of care, and improving patient satisfaction.

However, care coordination has been challenging for the healthcare system. For ambulatory practices, current referral and information flow processes can waste provider and staff time and lack flexibility. Hospitals face the same challenges and also suffer from limited or no access to ambulatory records or detailed care plans, especially after-hours.

As a leader in standards-based interoperability, GE Healthcare has demonstrated that seamless clinical data integration among different providers and healthcare organizations can facilitate care coordination, thereby helping to increase the value of care delivered.

That’s why we are pleased to introduce Hospital Connect. This new solution, a part of Project Northstar, provides real-time access to clinical data from thousands of acute and ambulatory healthcare organizations via a single interface to the cloud. In addition, by integrating selected data into providers’ native workflow, this solution can save an hour per provider per day1 in chart reviews.

Hospital Connect is one of the first products in our new Centricity Healthcare Connections family that is intended to simplify your ability to communicate and collaborate with the greater healthcare community.

Join us for a webinar to learn more.

Connecting Providers Forum: Healthcare Is Scorching Its Providers: The Burnout Epidemic

Friday, October 27th – 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Provider burnout is at an all-time high. Two thirds of family physicians report at least one element of burnout. Some specialties suffer higher burnout rates than others. Many factors contribute including growing regulatory pressures, inefficient EHRs, emphasis on RVUs, poor workflows, and work-life imbalance. Dr. Steven Waldren, Director of the Alliance for eHealth Innovation of the American Academy of Family Physicians will discuss the impact of burnout on healthcare providers and ways to avoid it. We will then have an open forum with GE Healthcare exploring how Centricity can assist providers to lessen the burden of EHRs on burnout.
