Webinar: Designing a Digital Patient Experience for the On-Demand Consumer

What lessons can other industries teach about ways to communicate with, and engage, patients (adult and pediatric) accustomed to rapid, convenient service in other areas of their lives; and how are these lessons now being applied? Hear from digital innovation and patient experience executives tasked with bringing health systems into the 21st century.

This webinar is part of Healthcare of Tomorrow, a virtual event series from U.S. News & World Report for hospital and health system executives and other industry leaders to discuss common priorities, best practices and perspectives on the future of the country’s health system and care delivery.

Scottsdale Institute Teleconference

Building an Operating System for Digital Care: The Making of DexCare

April 22, 2021

Sara Vaezy, Chief Digital and Business Development Officer, Providence
Derek Streat, Chief Executive Officer, DexCare

Despite investing billions of dollars in digital 70% of health systems have combined disparate point solutions that are disconnected and sub-optimized for consumers, providers and service lines. Pre-pandemic, Providence saw the need to build a digital relationship directly with consumers—across all care settings—and built DexCare. During the pandemic, this platform helped them manage and scale extreme shifts in venues of care. Providence has recently spun DexCare out into a separate company to enable other health systems to orchestrate digital demand and health systems capacity across all lines of care. Sara and Derek will discuss the origins of DexCare, the value of the platform in these unprecedented times and the reasoning behind the spinout.

NCQA Quality Talks

April 21, 2021 | 1PM ET

This isn’t your ordinary health care discussion. Quality Talks is a series of stirring, succinct talks by current and emerging health care leaders with ideas about how we can collaboratively improve American health care. In addition to the dynamic and thought-provoking speakers, the event features interactive dialogue among all attendees about advancing the health care system and improving patient care.

Quality Talks began as part of NCQA’s 25th Anniversary and was so successful that NCQA made it an annual event. We have been bringing speakers and health care quality leaders together to continue the discussion since 2015.

The Goal
NCQA wants to look ahead through the eyes of tomorrow’s leaders, who are inspiring the future of American health care. The Quality Talks are meant to inspire action to tackle the real and pressing problems in our health care system, and to dismantle barriers to a better future.

The Format
Far from a conventional conference, this event follows a “TED”-style format. That means the talks are shorter, compelling, memorable and novel in nature. Expect to leave this event hearing something you haven’t heard before.

The Virtual Hospital: Integrated Digital Systems, Analytics, and AI

January 19, 2021 | 10am Eastern

Aaron Martin, EVP & Chief Digital Officer, Providence

Similar to consumer industries being disrupted after the Internet and mobile revolutions, healthcare is facing a future of disruption from external digital forces as a result of these swift transformations resulting from COVID-19. Health systems must reorganize around the unique needs of patients rather than around their own functional areas, and digital has the opportunity to play a critical role. Swift changes in how care is delivered is creating a greater need for systems to adopt flexible digital models for patients to access care outside traditional brick-and-mortar healthcare facilities.
