People and non-profits will face difficult decisions that could directly affect access to care for low-income families\, children\, seniors and individuals with disabilities. It’s a reality that all of us — lawmakers\, health care providers\, nonprofits\, funders and communities — must face head-on\, and one that will require working together in new ways to ensure we protect the most vulnerable. \nFor decades\, Sentara has been committed to improving access to care for those most in need\, especially in medically underserved and economically disadvantaged communities. In 2024 alone\, Sentara invested $329 million into our communities. Of that\, $174 million went to uncompensated care — much of which supported Medicaid patients and those without insurance — and $40 million was distributed directly to nonprofits and community programs addressing social determinants of health like housing\, food security and behavioral health. These numbers represent real families receiving cancer screenings\, seniors accessing prescription medications and children receiving care in mobile health clinics brought into their neighborhoods. \nSafety-net hospitals and rural providers will be hit particularly hard. Some are already operating on razor-thin margins and simply can’t absorb further cuts without scaling back essential services or\, in some cases\, closing their doors. The loss of any provider\, urban or rural\, ripples through entire communities\, disrupting emergency response\, prenatal care\, chronic disease management and behavioral health services (further aggravating ER boarding\, long wait times\, left without being seen and possible adverse outcomes). \nWhile the challenges ahead are serious\, we are not without options. What this moment calls for is a coordinated response that blends responsible policymaking with the collaborative spirit that funders and nonprofits are known for. We must look for ways to serve the communities who rely on us\, advocate for those without a voice\, and work alongside state leaders\, nonprofit partners and fellow health systems to navigate the road ahead. \nThe challenge before us will require unity\, innovation and leadership. Strategic partnerships demonstrate that by working together\, we can build systems that serve everyone — fairly and effectively.[/vc_column_text]\n\n[vc_column_text css=”” wpf_visibility=”loggedin” wpf_tags=”293\, 347\, 281″]Dialogue Digest[/vc_column_text] URL:https://scottsdaleinstitute.org/event/dialogue-navigating-the-future-through-the-power-of-partnerships/ CATEGORIES:2025,Dialogue,Financial Management,Leadership,Partnerships,Population Health & Value-Based Care,Population Health, Care and Access END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250904T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250904T140000 DTSTAMP:20260515T034406 CREATED:20250725T145216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T170944Z UID:71579-1756990800-1756994400@scottsdaleinstitute.org SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Navigating Federal Policy Uncertainty: Tech-Enabled Strategies for Health-System Resilience & Growth DESCRIPTION:Dan Czech\, Vice President of Insights; and Emily Paxman\, SVP & Managing Director\, Consulting\, KLAS Research. Federal policy turbulence—from reimbursement shifts and tariff pressures to evolving AI and cybersecurity rules—is rewriting the playbook for provider strategy. \nDrawing on fresh KLAS Research findings from 169 healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs)\, this Scottsdale Institute webinar will unpack how leading systems are re-balancing budgets\, re-tooling technology investments\, and realigning payer partnerships to stay financially viable while protecting patient access.

This program empowered nurses to lead EHR personalization and process enhancements\, aligning organizational and regulatory documentation requirements with the need for efficient workflows. WCH addressed these challenges through two approaches: immediate IT-supported personalization settings and access updates\, and close collaboration with their EHR vendor to make more complex modifications. Ultimately\, WCH implemented 81 nurse-driven suggestions\, yielding impressive results: a 20% increase in nurses’ Net EHR Experience Score\, renewed governance engagement\, and an estimated annual saving of 1\,600 charting hours and nearly 2.8 million clicks. \nEric Gasser\, BS\, RN\, CHCIO\, Vice President of Information Systems/CIO at WCH shares the methodical approach he and his team used to address nurses’ needs and provide them with a direct channel for meaningful workflow changes. This included consistent formats for providing progress updates and user education. The webinar highlights WCH’s strategies\, successes\, and lessons learned\, offering actionable insights for optimizing your own EHR and freeing up nursing staff time to focus on patient care. \nWooster Community Hospital Health System Frees Up Nurses’ Charting Time by Almost 1\,600 Hours Annually in Expanse \nSponsored by MEDITECH URL:https://scottsdaleinstitute.org/event/webinar-reclaiming-nurses-time-a-blueprint-for-nurse-ehr-optimization/ CATEGORIES:2025,CIO,Clinical Informatics,CMIO,CNIO,CTO/VP Apps,Financial Management,IT Practice & Delivery,Leadership,Meditech,Population Health & Value-Based Care,Quality & Safety,Regulatory / Policy,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T140000 DTSTAMP:20260515T034406 CREATED:20250815T173053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T170943Z UID:71871-1759842000-1759845600@scottsdaleinstitute.org SUMMARY:FIRESIDE CHAT | Generations in Practice: Generative AI to Accelerate Clinical Decision-Making DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Goldman\, DO\, MBA\, FAAFP\, VP\, Chief Medical Information Officer\, and Chief of Primary Care\, Memorial Healthcare System; Charles Frazier\, MD\, FAAFP\, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Information and Innovation Officer\, Riverside Health; and Amanda Heidemann\, MD\, FAAFP\, FAMIA\, Senior Clinical Content Consultant\, Clinical Effectiveness\, Wolters Kluwer Health.

Its recommended practices directly address imperatives for third party risk management in the Health Industry Cybersecurity Strategic Plan 2024-2029 released by the CWG last year. \nLarger organizations have dedicated resources to improve the resiliency of their critical functions\, but many small-to medium sized organizations lack similar scale and need support with tools appropriate to their size\, capability and resource constraints. The SMART Toolkit provides them actionable guidance and methods for managing systemic risks related to their critical functions and dependencies within the health system. It empowers these organizations to demand secure products and high-availability of services from their suppliers\, thereby driving improved standards for critical functions across the entire healthcare ecosystem. In situations where customer leverage is insufficient to influence third party security\, the SMART tool can help organizations anticipate potential incidents and develop backup and resiliency plans.[/vc_column_text]\n\n[vc_column_text css=”” wpf_visibility=”loggedin” wpf_tags=”289\, 347\, 281″] \n\nPress Release\nPresentation Slides\nDialogue Digest\n\n[/vc_column_text] URL:https://scottsdaleinstitute.org/event/dialogue-ciso-health-industry-cybersecurity-sector-mapping-and-risk-toolkit-smart/ CATEGORIES:2025,CISO,Dialogue END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251021 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251023 DTSTAMP:20260515T034406 CREATED:20250616T205645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260414T232654Z UID:71258-1761004800-1761177599@scottsdaleinstitute.org SUMMARY:SUMMIT | 2025 Population Health\, Access and Primary Care Innovation DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text][/vc_column_text]\n[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1756843384673{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_id=”summittextsize”] \nEnabling Access and Improved Outcomes: The Primary Care Gateway\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1756844129707{margin-top: 30px !important;}”] \nOctober 21-22\, 2025 \nSI Population Health\, Access and Primary Care Innovation Summit and Site Visit\nHosted by OneHealth\, Charlotte\, NC \nSponsored by Epic  \n[/vc_column_text]\n\n[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1756916083638{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” el_class=”underlined_links”] \nOpening Doors To Advance Quality Care For All\nWoven into the fabric of everything we do is a commitment to intentional action that ensures quality healthcare for every member of our community.

Healthcare organizations continue to face the challenge of translating clinical evidence into consistent\, sustainable practice. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) provides the foundation for “what” works\, while Performance Improvement (PI) science offers the methods for “how” to implement and sustain those practices reliably. When combined\, EBP and PI create a powerful framework for improving patient outcomes\, reducing variation\, and building a culture of continuous learning. \nThis webinar highlights current evidence and real-world examples\, including the use of standardized order sets\, rapid cycle improvement methods\, and leadership-driven initiatives—that demonstrate the impact of integrating EBP and PI. Participants explore common barriers to adoption\, strategies for embedding evidence into workflows\, and approaches to sustaining improvements across care settings. \nDrawing on recent studies and practical frameworks\, the discussion provides clinical leaders with actionable insights to accelerate adoption of evidence-based care and ensure that improvements are measurable\, reliable\, and lasting. \nAttendees leave equipped with practical strategies to “do the right things right” and strengthen their organizations’ capacity to achieve meaningful\, system-wide improvement in clinical outcomes.
