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.

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. Participants will hear the latest data on contingency planning (86 % of HDOs already have at least one in motion)\, learn why three-quarters of organizations plan to maintain or increase IT spend despite shrinking margins\, and explore the fast-emerging role of AI in relieving administrative burden and driving ROI. \nThe webinar translates these insights into practical\, board-ready talking points and action steps your team can use immediately. \nThese take-aways will equip executives\, clinical leaders\, and IT strategists to convert policy uncertainty into a catalyst for resilient\, tech-enabled growth in 2025 and beyond. \nNavigating the Uncertainty of Federal Policy 2025 Examining the Government & Regulatory Impact on Healthcare Delivery Organizations URL:https://scottsdaleinstitute.org/event/webinar-navigating-federal-policy-uncertainty-tech-enabled-strategies-for-health-system-resilience-growth/ CATEGORIES:2025,AI,Analytics,Artificial Intelligence,CIO,CISO,Clinical Informatics,CMIO,CNIO,CTO/VP Apps,Data & Analytics,Digital Health & Virtual Care,Financial Management,IT Practice & Delivery,Leadership,Population Health & Value-Based Care,Quality & Safety,Regulatory / Policy,Security/Privacy/Compliance,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250911T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250911T133000 DTSTAMP:20260515T104537 CREATED:20250725T142746Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260414T213029Z UID:71570-1757592000-1757597400@scottsdaleinstitute.org SUMMARY:ROUNDTABLE | "Sustainable Innovation: Mapping Your Enterprise Intelligently" DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text css=””]Sustainable innovation programs require a problem-oriented and value-driven mindset.

Health systems often talk about their “digital front door\,” but too often\, the experience patients find there is confusing\, transactional\, and uninspired. The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) decided to take a different path. In this webinar\, Crystal Broj\, Chief Digital Transformation Officer\, shares how MUSC challenged industry norms\, reimagined the patient journey\, and dramatically accelerated new patient acquisition. By prioritizing design\, ease of use\, and a willingness to take risks\, MUSC created a digital experience (and chose partner DexCare) that not only meets patient expectations but positions the organization as a true innovator in digital healthcare. Attendees will leave with insights on how to stand out in a competitive market by delivering digital experiences that attract\, convert\, and retain patients.

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:20260515T104537 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 END:VCALENDAR
