A key principle of most successful businesses is this—make it easy for consumers to buy. Unfortunately, health systems with disparate applications, diverse service lines, multiple portals of entry, and fast-paced environments, often fall short of this standard. Their culture and processes have not yet matured enough to support the level of data stewardship needed to ensure robust provider master data management. The result? Patients who might otherwise have quickly found the right care for their needs are forced to spend more of their time (and often use the time of health system employees) to find a meaningful match. In this webinar, we'll speak to leaders who are focused on getting—and keeping—their provider data in order so patients don't spend more time looking for care than receiving it.

Data quality is a huge issue in healthcare – and the impacts of it will continue to grow as that data is increasingly relied upon with advances in automation & AI. It's so big, yet it is often not addressed in a planned way. Sometimes -- such as when an organization is migrating from one EHR to another, or extending its EHR to a newly acquired entity -- an opportunity presents itself that cannot be ignored. And it certainly should not be missed, as poor data quality (often revealed by having a large % of duplicate records, an incomplete medical record, or inaccurate data within the record) impacts everything from patient safety to compliance to reimbursement. And lest anyone think such components of the migration will be squared away by the EHR vendor, think again. In this webinar, we'll speak to leaders who have worked through data migrations, and in the process improved the information upon which the entire organization depends.

As health systems continue to grow in size and complexity, the need for an enterprise approach to imaging becomes more acute. But while the general direction may be clear, the ultimate destination (and thus the path to get there) will look differently for everyone. That's because no one is starting from a blank slate (not to mention a blank check) or holds the same priorities; thus the use and arrangement of modalities, PACS, workflow managers, universal/enterprise viewers and VNAs will vary. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders who can offer principles, frameworks and advice around moving in an enterprise imaging direction so your journey can be a bit smoother.
