    Workshops

    ACMPE Workshop – Karen Bowman, FACMPE, CPC, CPMA & Deborah Hudson, FACMPE

    This intensive, three-hour board certification workshop is a comprehensive preparation for those seeking to complete their Board Certification through ACMPE, with review of medical practice management concepts and industry best practices based on the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management (BOK). The BOK review will cover the skills and understanding of concepts needed to achieve the certified medical practice executive (CMPE) designation as well as review the process to complete the certification. Participants will be given the opportunity to take a full multiple-choice and scenario-based mock exam to serve as an initial benchmark for an individual, self-scored, knowledge-level assessment.

    How We Do What We Do – Open Discussion Around the New Healthcare Landscape – Charles Lathram, III, FACMPE  
    Healthcare administration in 2024 continues to evolve with significant emphasis on enhancing patient care, improving outcomes, and reducing costs and successfully transitioning from volume-based care to value-based care.  During our time together we will focus on 5 factors to discuss and provide insight and effective tactics that healthcare managers can implement as they navigate this new landscape: 1) Value-Based Care Framework; 2) Data Analysis for Healthcare Decision-Making; 3) Patient Engagement and Satisfaction in the New Era of Consumerism; 4) Compliance, Risk Management and Ethics; and 5) Leadership in Healthcare Transformation.

    Reclaiming Your Time Through Delegation – Matt Griswold and Don Harkey
    This is going to be a fantastic topic and workshop! It is so relatable and it's relatable because people typically don't do this and if they do, they don't do it well. This workshop will focus on the pitfalls and hesitations people have with this concept but also the fruit of actually being able to do it successfully. The side topics that feed into this will be succession planning, executive quicksand, what does it actually mean to be a leader of people and more!

    Rethinking the Role of IT in Healthcare Aaron Sherrill & Brian Strong

    Healthcare organizations of all sizes are facing a relentless stream of challenges - decreasing margins, mounting technical debt, staffing burnout and shortages, the stress of digital transformation, operational inefficiencies, and growing competitive pressures - just to name a few. Simply surviving is no longer enough. To adapt, complete, and thrive in the midst of these challenges it is imperative that healthcare organizations look to leverage an enterprise approach to IT. This session will explore strategic approaches to IT and uncover why siloed, tactical approaches to IT are holding healthcare organizations back.  We will investigate how to move IT from a cost center to a strategic catalyst, how to align IT to the organization's goals, and how to leverage technology to drive competitive advantage and provide a patient first experience.

    Heroes and Villains – The Stories We Tell Ourselves That Create Conflict Don Harkey
    We all love a good story. Whether it is at the movies, on Netflix, or a book you can't put down, humans are conditioned to enjoy the art of storytelling. But did you know that each person has their own version of each story? Communication experts have determined that how we interpret a story paints our perception of reality. Additionally, our perceived experiences alter our interpretations of future experiences and interactions with others. This oftentimes leads us to be the hero in our own story and makes others the villains.

    Things You Don’t Know You Don’t Know: Customized Business Intelligence for Medical Practices – Nate Moore
    How much have your practice management system reports changed in the past ten or twenty years?  How much has your practice changed in just the past year?  Seeing charges, payments, and adjustments is interesting, but understanding what is driving charges, payments, and adjustments in your practice is essential.  What metrics are savvy practices reviewing today?  How does the way your practice schedules appointments drive financial results?  Are there better ways to measure productivity, track denials, or chase appeals?  What critical information are you entering into your electronic medical records but struggling to retrieve efficiently?  If practice management reports are weak, typically clinical data is even harder to gather and analyze.  Watch examples of how practices are achieving better outcomes by mining and organizing clinical data.  You will see examples of care management, quality metrics, and medical decision making.
