KNOW WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON.Gather practice-enhancing strategies that will position you for what’s next.

I am thrilled to unveil what’s in store for PRACTICE MANAGEMENT™ 2020 and invite you to be among the first to sign up.

This year’s theme, Pushing the Boundaries, examines how we can look beyond the present practice environment to shape the future of anesthesia through comprehensive, visionary business strategies. We will delve into topics on so many of our minds, including value-based payment models, gender equity, quality initiatives, and current regulatory and compliance challenges, as well as the basics of building strong teams and managing effectively. Our keynote explores a particularly pertinent hot button—how to rise above negative discourse about health care to focus on superior patient care and creating a more hopeful future.

Whether you’re a physician anesthesiologist or practice administrator, you will find ample opportunities to interact with thought leaders and peers, get ideas for optimizing practice performance, develop more collaborative, high-performing care teams and clear any operational hurdles that may be in your way.

We’ve brought back the Touchpoint Series with eight timely new topics, incorporated greater interactivity, and a crafted track for residents and fellows as well as anesthesia administrators and executives. And, of course, you won’t want to miss what the exhibitors have in store for you—the exhibit hall is filled with cutting-edge products and technology that make it easier to do your job better. There really is something for everyone.

Dear Friend,

See you in January!

TOUCHPOINT SERIES

Back by popular demand—industry leaders have come together to forecast the most relevant topics for the coming months and years. Choose the four Touchpoint Series topics that matter most to you and receive access to educational materials for all eight sessions.

He Said, She Said: Opportunities for Alignment on Patient Experience

Moderated by James R. Mesrobian, M.D., FASA

The need for anesthesiologists to measure patient satisfaction and experience continues to grow, thanks to regulatory changes, consumerism and value-based anesthesia contracts. Yet many practices struggle to address this issue. Discuss these challenges in an interactive, roundtable format and identify areas for alignment with facilities and health care organizations.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss current factors driving measurement of patient experience with anesthesia care.

• Analyze the measurement of patient experience with anesthesia from three different perspectives: large system CEO, hospital CEO and practicing anesthesiologist.

• Identify areas of shared goals and opportunities to measure patient experience common to both hospitals and practices.

Participation in Value-Based Payment Models to Secure Your Future

Moderated by Jonathan S. Gal, M.D., FASA

Learn not just why anesthesiologists should participate in value-based payment models, but also how to do so successfully. This discussion will review each type of model for context, then gather expertise and insight from those with success in the trenches, as well as answer audience questions. Now that value-based payment models (VBPMs) are becoming more widely adopted, it's crucial that physician anesthesiologists don't lag behind other specialties.

Learning Objectives

• Identify the different versions of VBPM in common health care settings, inclusive of CJR, BPCI, MSSP-ACOs, APMs and risk-based payment groups within academic, mega-group, and small or large private practices.

• Identify who the primary stakeholders are in each scenario. Who is at the table and who may be on the menu?

• Identify and explain the nuts and bolts and actionable take home messages beyond the theoretical for how to be successful with a VBPM in your practice.

Revenue Enhancement Outside the Operating Room

Moderated by Gary R. Stier, M.D., M.B.A.

As health care transitions from a volume-based, fee-for-service model to a value-based payment model, there are viable opportunities for revenue generation beyond the operating room. Learn where to find and how to implement them.

Learning Objectives

• Identify how to generate revenue with preoperative medical assessment and optimization consultations.

• Identify how to generate revenue with perioperative point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) assessments.

• Identify monetization strategies for perioperative pain management.

Operating Room Management

Moderated by Joseph W. Szokol, M.D., FASA

Creating alignment between physicians and hospital administrators is critical to operating room performance opportunities such as access, utilization, throughput, staffing and supply management. Development of a physician-led surgical services organizational structure and oversight body is critical to this alignment and the hospital's operational and financial performance.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the myths of operating room management.

• Discuss how to match demand and supply for operating room time.

• Identify key data and information necessary for adaptive surgical services resource management.

• Recognize the key supply chain processes in the operating room.

• Explore organizational structure models for surgical services.


10


TOUCHPOINT SERIES

Culture, Engagement and Operations: Tying It All Together

Moderated by Torin D. Shear, M.D., FASA

In the increasingly complex health care landscape, creating and sustaining a positive organizational culture can be a challenge. Take an in-depth look at the impact of culture on engagement and operations as well as specific endeavors to improve culture, safety and engagement.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the impact of culture on engagement.

• Explore the impact of burnout and staff empowerment on culture, engagement and operations.

• Define culture, safety culture and engagement.

The Art of Negotiation: Demonstrating Value With Data

Moderated by Mark E. Hudson, M.D., M.B.A., and Robert S. Lagasse, M.D.

Aligning anesthesia care delivery with hospitals' operational goals is key to achieving the high-quality, cost-efficient care rewarded by today's value-based, pay-for-performance programs. Gain insights into hospital and health system expectations and explore ways to demonstrate your contributions through leadership, quality, cost management, productivity, efficiency, interprofessional collaboration, reimbursement optimization and more.

Learning Objectives

• Define the need to align anesthesiology group activities with the business and operational goals of the hospital.

• Identify and quantify available metrics demonstrating quality, leadership, productivity and efficiency.

• Discuss methods to utilize available data to demonstrate anesthesiology group value.

How to Run Your Anesthesia Practice Like It's for Sale— Even If It Isn't

Moderated by Phillip Richardson, M.D., M.B.A., FASA, and Patrick H. Allaire, M.D., FASA

Many elements of an anesthesia group's structure and operations contribute to its success and value. This part-didactic, part-conversational interactive presentation will explore elements such as entity structure, leadership and succession, and relationships between the group, physicians and facilities to determine how each impacts value, whether for the owners' profit or to drive market valuation.

Learning Objectives

• Describe key elements of effective group governance.

• Determine and provide actionable advice in connection with hiring, dealing with disruptive physicians, and transitioning staff, including physician retirement.

• List practice mistakes to avoid.

Large Health System Practice Integration

Moderated by John P. Lawrence, M.D., M.Ed.

Join this interactive session to discuss the critical elements and dimensions of practice integration, and explore the pathways and barriers to success.

Learning Objectives

• Identify dimensions and barriers.

• Identify opportunities during consolidation efforts which yield value creation.

• Discuss ways in which practice integration can drive quality and patient experience program development.

• Identify areas of necessary alignment to successful practice integration.

Practice management education is recommended for residents, but the topics covered vary by program. This one-day program is designed to help round out your knowledge of the business side of anesthesiology.

Learning Objectives

• List differences among various types of anesthesiology practices and how they reflect in employment contracts.

• Identify various value delivery strategies that physician anesthesiologists and anesthesiology group practices can implement to improve their practices.
