One of the most important and challenging leadership roles within healthcare is the “Chief Medical Officer.” As senior physicians tasked with providing leadership to increasingly diverse medical staffs during times of unrivaled challenge and uncertainty, the leadership style of a CMO is absolutely essential for stability and sustained success.
The role of Chief Medical Officers is changing dramatically as they face a new set of challenges such as new Medicare & Medicaid rules, understanding what the Trump Administration means for healthcare, finance & technology in addition to their main role of Improving Quality of care while Reducing Costs and Developing a Medical Leadership Team.
This event is focused on the end-user Chief Medical Officer and told by other Chief Medical Officers in terms of topics/issues/perspectives and case studies to discuss these new challenges in a manner that allows the attendees great actionable takeaways.

The Third Curve: A Patient Centric Healthcare Model From an aging population to a looming shortage of physicians, there is tremendous and increasing pressure on the healthcare system. If managed properly, the convergence of personalized medicine, rising consumer expectations, technological disruption and innovative payment structures will accelerate the move to a patient-centric health system. In this presentation, Dr. Knecht will posit that health care has moved from the first curve (fee-for-service) to the second curve (population health), and is now poised to embrace the third curve, which leverages technology and analytics to provide more patient-centered and patient-directed care. He will argue that payers, health systems, and physicians must work together to form a seamless healthcare ecosystem that truly puts the individual at the center.

Technology = Better Care & Reduced Costs Technology — whether mobile, cloud computing, big data analysis, systems software, or medical device advancements — is a tool that can aid healthcare organizations in providing better care while reducing costs. However, choosing wisely and parsing through the promises of sales representatives requires expertise in house. Someone must be able to evaluate new potential systems, plan implementation programs, and know when and how to push back on vendors when problems occur. Providers and Payers also need to optimize the systems they currently have to be sure they are getting the most value possible and not searching for tools that should already be in place. This session will provide best practices and lessons learned from various CMOs and CMIOs. George Daneker | Chief Medical Officer | Cancer Treatment Centers of America |

You Are Ready for Disruption, but is Everyone Else? — How to Avoid Triggering the Corporate Immune System Using a case study from a large regional Health System, participants will learn how a smart CEO making an insightful, relevant and critically important strategic decision to move their Health System from FFS towards FFV/population health, ultimately failed. They will learn what happened, why it happened and how to prevent making the same mistakes. Participants will also learn how to identify the “corporate immune system” that is present in every organization, always lurking to prevent you from implementing significant changes. While the case study focuses on a strategic decision to move a Health System towards Fee for Value, all major organizational decisions, often driven by the CMO, are at risk for triggering the “corporate immune system”.

Understanding and Using Quality Metrics to Drive Improvement Physicians today often feel inundated by the multitude of measures and data purporting to assess the quality of their work. It is important, therefore, for physicians to understand exactly what quality measures and metrics are, and how they can be used to improve the quality, safety and value of care that we provide to our patients. We believe that, “If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it: if you can’t understand it, you can’t control it; and if you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.” Quality measurement in healthcare is the process of using data to evaluate the performance of providers against recognized quality standards or quality metrics. Physician leaders need to understand how measures and metrics can be used to assess the quality of healthcare; the types of quality measures used and where the data comes from; how the measures are currently being used and how they may be used in the future; and how physician leaders can use quality measures to drive improvement.

She will offer a bird’s eye view of those public and private sector shifts and offer advice for CMOs on navigating competing, changing, and sometimes even contradictory demands in this evolving landscape.
