CMS defines health equity as the attainment of the highest level of health for all people, where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain optimal health regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, preferred language, or other factors that affect access to care and health outcomes. These factors or Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are widely recognized as important predictors in clinical care, as patients with social risk factors often experience worse outcomes and increased costs. During this session, we will explore the benefits, barriers, considerations, and strategies to developing programs that screen for, collect, and intervene on SDOH factors in your community, while leveraging data analytics and the EHR.

Revolutionizing the Revenue Cycle for the Patient Experience

Betsey O'Brien, Director, EHR, Revenue Cycle & Access Applications, BILH IT System Services, EHR-MEDITECH, Beth Israel Lahey Clinic

It's time for a revolution! There are countless factors that pressure the financial health of a healthcare organization, such as price transparency, forced cancellations of elective procedures, and ongoing clinician burnout. These can result in increased costs while institutions see decreased reimbursement. So how can healthcare leaders employ technology to ease the burdens that these and other factors are placing on their organizations? Attend this session to learn how automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning can be applied to the revenue cycle process to evolve RCM capabilities and improve an organization's financial health while also enhancing the patient experience.
