CPE Type: Business Management & Organization 1.5 CPE Credits | Level: Basic | Prerequisites - None Course MS1804

Innovation is a way of thinking beginning with the CEO and moving down through the organization. It is the ability to have a process in place while taking risks that will not jeopardize the well-being of patient care or delivery of care by the staff. This can include a “safe” space to create a laboratory environment in which to brainstorm ideas, create new products or services, or a place for testing and implementation.

Innovation is not like any other area, because it is a unique culture that promotes ownership within a staff member’s department. The staff member or a team within that department recognizes an opportunity for improvement through an app, a medical device, other technology, or just an improved process to move toward a solution. They don’t wait until they are told about the problem; they know it and own it.

It is difficult to change a culture that is rooted in following orders, since healthcare is so regulated. Culture can’t be taught, but should be demonstrated through leadership providing the staff with the freedoms to express their opinions, the tools to make the changes, and support to implement the changes. As fast as change is happening, healthcare facilities will need to control innovation or they will be left behind.


• Culture is about a community and not an individual

• Making a mistake is not a failure

• Empower and encourage

Scott Vogel has recently accepted his “first” corporate job as the Executive Director for Regional One Health Center for Innovation. The Center for Innovation offers an internal incubator for staff innovation and a “post-acceleration” program for external teams that have completed an accelerator program. As a serial entrepreneur throughout his career, he has a strong interest for innovation, creative thinking, and building new businesses. He has built his career in the healthcare innovation and technology sector for 18 years. His community involvement includes being on the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital/ALSAC Board serving as a National Committee Member, the board of the University of Memphis Research Foundation Board, Jewish Community Partners Executive Committee Member, Plough Towers Executive Committee member and current member of the Epicenter’s Tech Council. Additionally Mr. Vogel was President of TN HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) Chapter from 2002-2006.


This presentation discusses the latest healthcare regulatory and legislative issues moving through Congress, Health and Human Services (HHS) and, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This presentation also focuses on several key issues such as:

• Where we are with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as we prepare for the 2018 plan year • What ACA legislative and regulatory changes to expect; where we are regarding potential repeal-and-replace legislation • Update on CMS Medicare payment regulations for FY2018 for providers, including inpatient/outpatient hospitals, LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs, inpatient psychiatric, home health, hospice, physicians, ASCs, and dialysis • Other CMS Regulatory relief efforts, including modifications and delays to CMS Demonstration programs • Medicaid payment reforms and waiver efforts in the states • CHIP re-authorization, along with potential Medicare extender provisions that expire at the end of FY2017 • Update on drug pricing efforts, including potential modifications to Medicare Part B drug


• Examine the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on hospitals, physicians, health plans, post-acute providers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers

• Review strategic and operational plans to succeed in a changing regulatory environment

• Identify potential changes in healthcare reform given the shifting political environment

As health care continues its transition from fee-for-service to payment for value, clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs must also evolve. Documentation initiatives need to support financial and quality interests, rather than only supporting one or the other. With so much revenue potential at stake, CDI programs risk losing as much as they gain unless they expand their focus to mitigating quality penalties. This discussion covers CDI governance models, best-in-class documentation specialist workflow, strategic inpatient and ambulatory expansion, and advanced models for documentation champion/physician liaison support.


• Review recent evolutions of CDI as a function in the acute and ambulatory arenas

• Share best practices for driving physician engagement, CDIS productivity, and query effectiveness

• Highlight key analytics that drive CDI success

Across his client base, Mr. Beadle-Ryby has helped his partners achieve the following results:

• Led documentation improvement initiatives, including CDI program development and enhancement as well as data-driven physician education, resulting in average CMI improvement of 10% and quality performance improvement for expected LOS, mortality, readmissions, and complications • Returns on investment ranging from 5:1 to 30:1 across client base in documentation improvement terrain • Reduced DNFC and optimized PFS performance to result in a 14.5 day drop in A/R for 2014 HFMA Map Award winning hospital • Achieved 450+% increase in POS collections at three hospital system in mid-west • Centralized business office operations for multi-hospital health system in mid-west • Recovered $1.35M in underpayments over one year at urban health system in the northeast • Served as dedicated ICD-10 Project Manager for three hospital health system on east coast • Achieved 501(r) compliance and protected non-profit status for health system in mid-west

Days in net accounts receivable (AR) is a key factor in determining a hospital revenue cycle’s effectiveness, as it takes into account both internal processes and payer workflows. Industry-wide, AR is creeping up. Poor performing organizations experience significant delays between patient discharge and final payment, which negatively impact both cash flow and cash on hand. This discussion details what benchmarks and best practices you can leverage for a renewed focus on decreasing your organization’s net AR days.


• Review industry trends for AR performance compared to cost to collect

• Identify new best practices for managing AR, staff productivity, and overall cash flow in a smart, efficient manner

• Discuss the merits of how an integrated acute and ambulatory revenue cycle can support AR management across the health system enterprise
