Gettysburg, PA. (September 10, 2023) — On October 25th, OPEN MINDS will offer two half-day seminars designed to equip executives with the digital tools, strategies and skill sets necessary to chart their organization’s path to long term success. Featured at The 2023 OPEN MINDS Technology & Analytics Institute in Philadelphia, the first seminar, Finding An Electronic Health Record System For Your Future: The 2023 OPEN MINDS Seminar On Best Practices In EHR Selection, Contracting & Optimization, sponsored by Streamline Healthcare, will guide attendees through step-by-step process for selecting an EHR that encompasses the “big picture” of an organization’s needs.
This essential seminar is for any executive considering a new EHR system—whether it is your organization’s first EHR or upgrading a system that isn’t delivering the functionality needed for sustainability. OPEN MINDS Senior Associates, Joseph P. Naughton-Travers, EdM, and Sharon Hicks, will guide attendees through evaluating and selecting the perfect system. Key objectives for this seminar include:
- The best practice model for assessing the tech functionality your organization needs for future success
- Steps for vetting vendors and their products and services
- Budgeting for EHR software and implementation
- Ensuring the best value and performance in contract negotiating
Then later in the same day, we dive into strategies for Becoming A Data-Driven Organization – Using Metrics To Drive Performance & Success: The 2023 OPEN MINDS Seminar, sponsored by Streamline Healthcare.
This seminar, led by OPEN MINDS Senior Associates Carol Clayton, Ph.D , and Sharon Hicks, is dedicated to the latest performance landscape and critical domains for measuring and managing business and clinical effectiveness. Health and human services organizations have unique and evolving competition in the market—from new digital-first applications demonstrating speedy access, engagement, and satisfaction with consumers, to industry disrupters such as retail health clinics providing convenient access to care right where individuals shop. Key objectives for this seminar include:
- A look at the critical strategic performance domains and metrics for managing business and clinical health effectiveness
- Scorecard and framework for becoming a data-driven organization and for evaluating business health operations
- Decision-making model for prioritization and selection of measures
