SUMMARY:COVID: Some Silver Linings
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything many Americans can recall in their lifetime. Despite the many challenges\, our nation’s hospitals\, clinicians\, and patients never abandoned their search for a way forward. While this pandemic challenged us all\, it also unveiled meaningful opportunities to innovate with the use of new technology\, strengthen our roots\, and rethink the way we deliver care. \nJoin SCP Health’s Chief Clinical Technology Officer Stephen Nichols\, MD\, and Senior Vice President and Group Medical Officer Jude Malican\, MD\, MMM\, FACEP\, for an interactive discussion around the experiences that will improve the way we deliver care as we enter the next chapter of COVID-19. \nRegister Here\nSpeakers’ Bios: \nJude Malican\, MD\, MMM\, FACEP\nSenior Vice President\, Group Medical Officer\nSCP Health \nDr. Jude Malican brings an array of experience to his role with SCP Health. He is responsible for supporting and leading SCP’s efforts to remain a leader in the provision of management practices within Emergency Medicine & Hospital Medicine. In this role\, he ensures consistent patient care and management practices in Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine that ensure high quality and dependable performance. \nHe formerly served as the Associate Regional Medical Director for Emergency Services for the Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston. While there\, Malican had primary responsibilities for both the development and implementation of the EMR platforms for all the emergency departments in the system\, as well as serving as the medical director for one of the busiest emergency departments in the system. \nDr. Malican completed medical school at St. Louis University School of Medicine\, in St. Louis\, MO\, and his Residency in Emergency Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta\, GA.

SUMMARY:Confronting Medical Racism and Exploring Ethical Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic to Develop Strategies for a Better Future
DESCRIPTION:For this event\, ACHENTX is partnering with The DFW\, Golden State and St. Louis Chapters of NAHSE. \nThe Covid-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the health inequities experienced by the Black community and other communities of color. The arrival of two safe and effective vaccines has ushered in the dawn of a new day. However\, not everyone is fighting to be first in line. Why? The answer to this question lies within a quote from the late great Maya Angelou: “You can’t really know where you are going\, until you know where you have been.” The systemic racism that has led to inequities in health\, has also led to the mistrust experienced by minority communities. Many of these injustices are not discussed in professional settings\, and as a result\, has left the medical community with an unfortunate gap in generating strategic initiatives to solve some of these great problems. Understanding this history will help guide and inform policy makers and the medical community on the best way forward\, as we look to bridge the divides that our history has created. These are unique times for us as healthcare leaders to learn\, grow\, and gain new perspectives on how to be a voice for\, and best engage with the Black community. Join us for an engaging conversation on understanding historic to present day clinical and management insights that reflect the untold\, but ever-present reality of marginalized communities\, as well as steps the healthcare industry can take to improve our current situation. \nThis year’s topic will be: Confronting Medical Racism and Exploring Ethical Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic to Develop Strategies for a Better Future. Our featured speaker will be renowned author and medical ethicist Harriet A. Washington. Harriet A. Washington is a prolific science writer\, editor and ethicist who is the author of the seminal book: “Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Experimentation from Colonial Times to the Present”. This groundbreaking book won a National Book Critics Circle Award\, the PEN/Oakland Award\, and the American Library Association Black Caucus Nonfiction Award. She is also the author of five other well-received books\, including “A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind” as well as the forthcoming “Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Informed Consent in Medical Research”\, which will be published in 2021 by Columbia Global Reports. \n  \nRegister Here\n

SUMMARY:Multi-Chapter Panel #1 - Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Join the ACHE East Texas\, North Texas and Texas Midwest chapters for another in our special multi-chapter panels.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe communities for which healthcare organizations operate are rapidly diversifying. Not only do they provide care for a diverse community of patients and families\, but their workforce is also changing\, and at times does not reflect the patient community. This diversity is exhibited in a number of ways\, including ethnicity\, race\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, language\, age\, sexual orientation/gender identity\, and physical ability.\n\n\nThe business implications and imperatives healthcare organizations face concerning diversity\, equity\, and inclusion are immense. Diverse communities often require different care needs\, improved quality\, new or modified operational processes and services\, and strategic planning for a varied patient demographic. The continuum of care will need to be considered to best meet the needs of these communities. \nIt is incumbent on healthcare organizations and their leaders to both understand and embrace the needs of diverse populations. Leader’s abilities to respond to the needs and preferences of a broader customer base will be critical to their financial and operational success. \n  \nThis program has been approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face credits. \nRegister Now\nOur Presenters: \nCrissy Flake\nRegional Quality Improvement & Compliance Manager\nWelbeHealth\, LLC \nAimee Greeter\, MPH\, FACHE\nSenior Vice President\nCoker Group \nAlan K.
