How did we get here? We are told that "culture eats strategy" but what does that mean? What is the "culture" of a healthcare organization. This session will discuss the cultural dynamics in healthcare and the historical context of evolution. Personal stories will be shared on how the culture of a healthcare organization strengthens or weakens the ability to provide exceptional care.

How do you measure culture? Why do some co-workers believe the culture is toxic and others praise its vibrance? There has to be some way to measure organizational culture! This course will introduce the Cultural IQ or CIQ: a tested, self-evaluation tool that organizations can use to identify cultural perceptions. We will also share ideas on how to strengthen the ten dimensions of organizational culture.

    This session focuses on sharing the story of one practice’s journey in negotiating next generation payer contracts. First, we will set the stage by discussing alternative payment models, defining key elements and identifying core drivers. We will cover the essential fundamentals of value-based contracting methodologies and discuss approaches for uncovering practice potential. The case study will include a deep dive into how the practice moved through the process including data gathering, analyses, the creation of a value proposition and payer relationship building. We will identify sources for determining the total cost of care, estimating cost savings and suggestions for how to effectively tell your practice story. This talk will include many tips for payer negotiations and tactile guidance relative to positioning effectively in next-generation payer contract negotiations.
