3) Achieving high quality and compliance requires embedding these priorities in the organizational culture so that employees feel empowered to report issues and pursue excellence.
Report on Roundtable on Proxy GovernanceBroadridge
The document discusses recommendations from a roundtable on improving the integrity and transparency of the proxy voting process in the US. The roundtable recommended: 1) Early confirmation of shareholder voting entitlements; 2) Encouraging early voting to increase participation; 3) Enhancing processes for handling exceptions to improve accuracy; and 4) Providing end-to-end vote confirmation so shareholders know their votes were properly recorded. The goal was to develop practical solutions that could strengthen voting integrity in the short to medium term without requiring federal regulation.

Web browsers have become part of everyday life, and are relied upon by millions of internet citizens each day. The feature rich online world has turned the once simple web browser into a highly complex (and very often insecure) desktop application.
As browser vendors have extended functionality and support to new technologies, security researchers and hackers are continuously looking for new vulnerabilities. In this talk, Roberto and Scott will share results of their assiduous browser bug hunting. The talk will examine techniques used to discover critical and less severe vulnerabilities in some of the most popular browsers on the market.
This talk will focus heavily (but not exclusively) on the following areas:
- Memory corruption bugs;
- New approaches to DOM fuzzing;
- Old school techniques against new browser technology;
- Cross Context Scripting and injection attacks;
- SOP Bypass;
The presentation will conclude with a montage of on-stage demonstrations of previously unreleased vulnerabilities, including remote code execution, injections and other tailored browser exploits.

This article discusses the importance of credentialing and privileging in healthcare organizations and quality of care. It notes that credentialing includes gathering and verifying provider qualifications and experience. Failure to follow proper credentialing processes can result in legal action under the False Claims Act. The article recommends that compliance professionals engage with the credentialing process, ensure policies and procedures are documented and followed, and that two government databases are checked. Proper credentialing helps organizations meet standards for quality care and avoid penalties.

Improving Our Capacity to Develop Capacity in Health_Dr. Leonardo Cubillos Tu...CORE Group
This presentation discusses capacity development in health systems strengthening. It begins by outlining some of the challenges faced in capacity development, such as lack of consensus on definitions and measuring results. It defines capacity as the availability of resources to pursue development goals sustainably, and capacity development as a locally driven process of learning to enhance local ownership. Three key areas for institutional capacity development are identified: the sociopolitical environment, policy instruments, and organizational arrangements. The presentation emphasizes learning, joint learning, and joint action as the basis for capacity development. It provides examples of capacity development programs and concludes by highlighting the importance of citizen participation, influence and accountability in the post-2015 development agenda.
The document outlines a seven-step approach to building a clinically integrated network (CIN). The steps include: 1) gathering interested stakeholders; 2) creating a value proposition; 3) developing governance and participation agreements; 4) selecting quality measures; 5) recruiting physicians; 6) measuring and improving programs; and 7) engaging payers. The goal is to improve access, health outcomes, and value through clinical integration and care coordination across providers.
Why join a business and health care coalitionHHCoalition
Jerry Custer presents on why employers should join healthcare coalitions like the Heartland Healthcare Coalition. The presentation outlines that employers want lower costs, improved workforce health, and quality care. However, navigating healthcare is difficult for employers alone. Coalitions give employers purchasing power and resources to advance value-based purchasing and transformation. The Heartland coalition offers services like group purchasing programs and quality initiatives to its 45 members representing 365,000 lives. Members benefit from lower rates, expertise sharing, and making a difference in their community's healthcare system.
Why join a business and health care coalitionHHCoalition
Jerry Custer presents on why employers should join healthcare coalitions like the Heartland Healthcare Coalition. The presentation outlines that employers want lower costs, improved workforce health, and quality care. However, navigating healthcare is difficult for employers alone. Coalitions give employers strength in numbers for group purchasing programs and initiatives to advance value-based purchasing from local providers. Membership provides benefits like educational opportunities, market leverage, and a role in shaping the future community healthcare system. National coalitions like NBCH further support these goals through performance measurement, payment reform, and employer leadership. The presentation argues that employer engagement is key to healthcare reform through value-based purchasing.
The Top Five Insights into Healthcare Operational Outcomes ImprovementHealth Catalyst
Effective, sustainable healthcare transformation rests in the organizational operations that power care delivery. Operations include the administrative, financial, legal, and clinical activities that keep health systems running and caring for patients. With operations so critical to care delivery, forward-thinking organizations continuously strive to improve their operational outcomes. Health systems can follow thought leadership that addresses common industry challenges—including waste reduction, obstacles in process change, limited hospital capacity, and complex project management—to inform their operational improvement strategies.
Five top insights address the following aspects of healthcare operational outcomes improvement:
Quality improvement as a foundational business strategy.
Using improvement science for true change.
Increasing hospital capacity without construction.
Leveraging project management techniques.
Features of highly effective improvement projects.
1) Quality in occupational health services is increasingly important to the UK government, which is promoting standards and accountability.
2) This document outlines various quality standards and best practices that occupational health providers should meet, such as having protocols for clinical effectiveness and safety, conducting audits, obtaining informed consent from patients, and consulting with clients and employees.
3) Meeting these standards can help occupational health providers differentiate themselves, improve services, and potentially partner with the NHS on broader public health initiatives.

- Hospital mergers increased dramatically in the 1990s but had a 25% failure rate due to lack of due diligence and financial risk assessment.
- Healthcare reform under the ACA is increasing demand for healthcare and regulatory changes are decreasing reimbursements, triggering another wave of hospital mergers seeking scale and cost efficiencies.
- A successful hospital merger requires thorough evaluation and compatibility between partners, a clear shared vision, and a methodical process to fully integrate operations.
