Population Health Management (PHM) has been in the health IT lexicon for nearly a decade, yet the industry still lacks a clear definition of how provider organizations extract value from their PHM initiatives. Part of the problem is that PHM is often defined as a technology solution when it, in fact, is not. Rather, PHM is a technology-enabled strategy that includes a multitude of capabilities (e.g., interoperability, analytics, care management, engagement, etc.) and services. Secondly, an organization adopts a PHM strategy to support its value-based care (VBC) contracts, but VBC remains an elusive target that is highly dependent on local and regional conditions.
In this presentation, John Moore briefly walks through the evolution of the PHM market and its increasingly integral tie to VBC and future technology and market trajectories. Highlighted topics include EHR versus best-of-breed solutions, FHIR and open APIs, and the increasing role of IT-enabled services.
Learning Objectives:
- Reframing PHM: Defining PHM as a strategy, not a product.
- Core elements of a technology-enabled PHM strategy.
- Moving organizational economics from fee-for-service to VBC and the role of Medicare Advantage.
- The impact of new interoperability efforts and trends to enable effective PHM strategies.
Unprecedented Patient-Visit Care Continuity: Introducing Health Catalyst Embe...Health Catalyst
Gaps in patient care contribute to declining health for preventable conditions and cost health systems millions of precious healthcare dollars. Furthermore, COVID-19-induced delays to standard preventive care and routine screenings have exacerbated gaps in patient care. Now, as organizations play catch up to understand patients’ current health status, they can’t afford to waste limited resources on inefficient care processes and guesswork.
Health Catalyst Embedded Care GapsTM is a fully EMR-embedded patient-visit solution combined with a world-class rules engine. Care Gaps increases revenue by performing more needed procedures, decreases costs by streamlining visits, and improves quality by improving adherence capacity. With Embedded Care Gaps, healthcare organizations can easily integrate into a system’s EHR, close gaps in patient care, and maximize every patient’s visit.
Join Chris Tyne, Senior Vice President of Product Development, and TJ Nicolaides, Director of Product Management, to learn how Care Gaps can deliver actionable insights directly into your EHR workflow, empower your clinicians to close patient care gaps in real time, and ultimately deliver better, more cost-effective care.
What You’ll Learn About Embedded Care Gaps:
• Seamless and actionable care gap information. Care gap information is embedded directly into the EMR with regulatory measures (MIPS, HEDIS, and eCQMs).
• The right insight, for the right person, at the right time. A proactive and automated way to notify clinicians to give the best care at the right time.
• Easier and less costly. Better user experience than EMR-based tools and less costly than staffing EMR tool development.

PYA Principal Marty Brown and PYA Analytics President & CEO Brian Worley presented “Big Data Applications in Healthcare.”
Delivering Analytic Insights from the Warehouse to the Front Lines: Your Most...Health Catalyst
As clinicians contend with having too much on their plates, they also rarely get all the information they need to be most effective. Meanwhile, your organization has an expansive amount of data—more data than anyone will ever read on even a single patient. Managing this data load to deliver just-in-time insights, decision support, and analytics is the key to supporting care teams and allowing them to focus on providing the best care to the patients in front of them.
What You'll Learn:
- Effective methods for delivering data to your providers.
- Building analytics into every workflow.
- Empowering your team with technology-driven clinical decision support.
- Streamlining your data delivery to provider better care, drive revenue, and make your system more efficient.
ACO = HIE + Analytics - a Healthcare IT PresentationPerficient, Inc.
With the release of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) regulations, healthcare providers must be able to identify, access, and seamlessly share patient information to drive efficiencies and enjoy a potential share in ACO program incentives. Additionally, more than half of the 93 draft National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) ACO measures are also Meaningful Use measures, which further elevates the need to achieve meaningful use stage 2 or higher.
Given these goals, success will ultimately depend on an organization’s ability to share patient data at the point of care and its ability to gain meaning from historical and longitudinal data for use in managing population health. Healthcare organizations will need to give focused attention to the IT strategies, appropriate architectures, and roadmaps they will use to move from desired state to reality.
We discuss the practical architectural approach for creating an ACO. As Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) evolve into their second generation, they are able to the support the functional ACO tasks of delivering and managing care for a defined population, accept payment, distribute savings to participants, and perform disease management with predictive modeling to improve outcomes. We will also discuss the need to achieve meaningful use stage 2 or higher and the data/analytics requirements for ACO participants.
Presenter Martin Sizemore is the Director of Healthcare Strategy for Perficient. Martin has been a consultant and trusted advisor to CEOs, COOs, CIOs and senior managers for global multi-national companies and healthcare organizations, and is a certified Enterprise Architect with specialized skills in Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
Population Stratification Made Easy, Quick, and Transparent for AnyoneHealth Catalyst
One of the fundamental tasks when creating a population health initiative is to identify the right patients for the right interventions. The challenge with identifying patients is two-fold—there isn’t a one-size-fits all stratification method; and, current stratification tools prove to be inflexible, “black box” solutions that require time-consuming, technical expertise to customize the algorithms. Many commonly used stratification methods also fail to take advantage of the whole-patient picture, using the limited data sources that are available.
To address these challenges, Health Catalyst developed the Population Builder™️: Stratification Module; a fast, adaptable tool that allows for rapid and transparent stratification of patient groups based on predefined, yet easy to customize, populations and then provides the architecture to integrate the stratified populations into the population health workflow.
Based on the existing Population Builder tool, the Stratification Module consists of several population health building blocks that users can mix and match to create purpose-driven, transparent, and customizable populations to fit their needs. The building blocks save users the time and effort of creating the raw materials required for effective stratification by providing industry standard, evidence-based definitions for over 6,000 value sets, 21 predefined chronic condition registries, ED utilization (combined claims and clinical data), transition of care, and predictive risk models all in one tool. In addition, the power of AI is made accessible and easy with Health Catalyst-developed risk algorithms that are targeted to specific interventions.
View the Population Builder: Stratification Module webinar to learn more about its functionality, understand the customization process, observe a unique framework that integrates claims and clinical data, and make it easy to consume customized data sources, so that your algorithms include all of your available patient data.
In this webinar you can expect to:
- Learn how Population Builder: Stratification Module is used to combine data from multiple data sources—including claims and clinical data—to stratify based on a “whole patient picture.”
- Get a glimpse of the predefined stratification content that is packaged within the Population Builder: Stratification Module.
- Understand how the Population Builder: Stratification Module allows non-technical experts to quickly and transparently create sophisticated stratification algorithms.
- See how “published” patient lists, or registries, are created within Population Builder: Stratification Module and accessible by the DOS ecosystem.

Transform Your Labor Cost Management Strategy: Introducing the Health Catalys...Health Catalyst
Labor costs encompass nearly 60 percent of the typical healthcare budget and are growing faster than healthcare systems can afford. COVID-19 responses only exacerbated this financial pressure. Controlling escalating labor costs means eliminating waste and using data to find where budgeted staffing hours exceed or fall short of patient needs. Most organizations have the wrong tools to understand labor demands and instead try to guess future patient volumes and staffing needs by using retrospective data that lacks timeliness.
The Health Catalyst PowerLabor application leverages augmented intelligence (AI)-powered forecasting capabilities to deliver accurate labor data to operational leaders. With timely workforce insight, health systems can close the gap between staff budgeting and future patient volumes, control labor expenses, and track progress toward budget and staffing targets.
Join John Hansmann, Senior Vice President of Strategic Consulting Operations at Health Catalyst, and Sean Latimer, Senior Director of Product Management at Health Catalyst, as they demonstrate how PowerLabor can help your organization increase productivity while ensuring resources for excellent patient care.
What You’ll Learn About PowerLabor:
• View Comprehensive Labor Data in One Place: Department and unit managers can analyze labor costs with an integrated view of all labor productivity data, including cost and hours, by system, location, department, team, and job role in one location.
• Proactively Schedule to Volume: With a complete view of categorized labor hours in relation to costs (e.g., contracts, premiums, overtime, and staffing mix), decision makers can easily identify labor trends, comparisons, and rollups across departments to accurately predict labor needs, plan for changes in staffing, and optimize staff to patient ratios.
• Drive Adoption with Expert Guidance: To maximize the PowerLabor application, Health Catalyst experts help categorize and refine data through an initial assessment and data integration from multiple data sources (e.g., EMR, billing, HR/payroll, time and attendance, and general ledger). Our implementation teams also provide train-the-trainer sessions to drive the most effective adoption.
Healthcare Integration | Opening the Doors to CommunicationBizTalk360
Integration plays the central role in connecting health systems to effortlessly communicate and share data, ultimately improving the quality and outcomes of health services. With an integration system in place, healthcare organizations can improve communication within their enterprise, connect to external entities, such as HIEs, laboratories, and long-term care facilities, and to patient platforms, such as Microsoft HealthVault. With established and evolving standards, such as HL7 v2 & v3, CDA, XDS, and FHIR, healthcare organizations now more than ever need a robust interoperability solution to meet and support these requirements.

• How to use the momentum from the data procurement stage to develop an effective data governance strategy.
• The positive results health systems can achieve from effective data governance.
The Foundations of Success in Population Health ManagementHealth Catalyst
From hospital systems to large employers, organizations are increasingly taking on financial risk for the health of populations. Drivers of this trend include the update to the MSSP model, the recent CMS Primary Cares Initiative announcement, the increasing prevalence of the Medicare Advantage model, innovative partnerships in the self-insured employer space, and the proliferation of Medicaid ACOs. Yet while market pressures push organizations toward population risk, they don't necessarily help them succeed: most organizations are struggling to attain or sustain the dual imperatives of high-quality care and cost containment. A primary reason? Short-sighted and tactical approaches that don't provide the flexible data infrastructure and tools to adapt to emerging trends in population health—or to support short-term contractual requirements while building toward long-term success.
View this launch webinar to learn about Health Catalyst’s Population Health Foundations solution, a data and analytics-first starter set aimed at optimizing performance in value-based risk arrangements and providing the data ecosystem that will flex and adapt to complex needs of risk-bearing organizations.

Built on Health Catalyst’s foundational technology and supported by the nationwide experience and perspective of its experts, the Population Health Foundations solution helps organizations leverage multiple data sources to understand their patient populations and create meaningful views of financial and clinical quality performance. As a starter set that organizations can build on based on their needs, the solution is designed to compensate for the known limitations of “black box” population health applications that fail to reveal the “why” of analytic insights and exacerbate the challenges of transforming quality, cost, and care. The Population Health Foundations solution delivers the essential analytic tools needed for success under value-based risk arrangements.
In these slides you can expect to:
- Review recent changes to the field of value-based care, and reactions and insights from the market
- Discover how the Population Health Foundations solution can act as a comprehensive, data-first analytics solution to support your population stratification and monitoring needs
- Understand how this solution functions as a foundational starter set for value-based care success, enabling clients to leverage all their data and other relevant population health tools

Microsoft: A Waking Giant in Healthcare Analytics and Big DataDale Sanders
Ten years ago, critics didn’t believe that Microsoft could scale in the second generation of relational data warehouses, but they did. More recently, many of these same pundits have criticized Microsoft for missing the technology wave du jour in cloud offerings, mobile technology, and big data. But, once again, Microsoft has been quietly reengineering its culture and products, and as a result, they now offer the best value and most visionary platform for cloud services, big data, and analytics in healthcare.
Microsoft: A Waking Giant In Healthcare Analytics and Big DataHealth Catalyst
In 2005, Northwestern Memorial Healthcare embarked upon a strategic Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW) initiative with the Microsoft technology platform as the foundation. Dale Sanders was CIO at Northwestern and led the development of Northwestern’s Microsoft-based EDW. At that time, Microsoft as an EDW platform was not en vogue and there were many who doubted the success of the Northwestern project. While other organizations were spending millions of dollars and years developing EDW’s and analytics on other platforms, Northwestern achieved great and rapid value at a fraction of the cost of the more typical technology platforms. Now, there are more healthcare data warehouses built around Microsoft products than any other vendor. The risky bet on Microsoft in 2005 paid off.
Ten years ago, critics didn’t believe that Microsoft could scale in the second generation of relational data warehouses, but they did.

But, once again, Microsoft has been quietly reengineering its culture and products, and as a result, they now offer the best value and most visionary platform for cloud services, big data, and analytics in healthcare.
In this context, Dale will talk about:
His up and down journey with Microsoft as an Air Force and healthcare CIO, and why he is now more bullish on Microsoft like never before
A quick review of the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model and Closed Loop Analytics in healthcare, and how Microsoft products relate to both
The rise of highly specialized, cloud-based analytic services and their value to healthcare organizations’ analytics strategies
Microsoft’s transformation from a closed-system, desktop PC company to an open-system consumer and business infrastructure company
The current transition period of enterprise data warehouses between the decline of relational databases and the rise of non-relational databases, and the new Microsoft products, notably Azure and the Analytic Platform System (APS), that bridge the transition of skills and technology while still integrating with core products like Office, Active Directory, and System Center
Microsoft’s strategy with its PowerX product line, and geospatial analysis and machine learning visualization tools
Join Dr. David Buckeridge, in partnership with the Office of the Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) and the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health, to learn more about approaches to establishing and assuring the components for developing a data system, along with consideration of overarching factors such as options for coordinating and leading the development and operation of a coordinated network of systems to inform a bold vision for a renewed public health system in Canada.

Provider directory accuracy is critical to ensuring consumers get the care they need from the right doctors. The challenge is the rate at which provider data changes and getting that information into the hands of members. Now regulatory bodies are demanding health insurers put processes in place that ensure the information they collect and publish to their member populations is current and complete. Updating mandatory data fields like address, acceptance of new patients, specialty, languages spoken and more can become overwhelming for a health plan – putting a strain on resources. LexisNexis explores where regulations stand, the nature of provider data and why maintaining it is a challenge, and a proven approach to managing your provider data and directories.

A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant. I and my friends has traded more than 6000pi coins successfully

how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.

how to sell pi coins at high rate quickly.DOT TECH
Where can I sell my pi coins at a high rate.
Pi is not launched yet on any exchange. But one can easily sell his or her pi coins to investors who want to hold pi till mainnet launch.
This means crypto whales want to hold pi. And you can get a good rate for selling pi to them. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor below.
A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:
@Pi_vendor_247
when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.
