SUMMARY:Behavioral Healthcare:  Approaches to Increase Value for the Organization and Meet Community Needs
DESCRIPTION:This panel has been approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face Credits. \nHistorically\, hospitals and health systems have not always embraced a role in meeting behavioral health needs in communities because managing behavioral healthcare and mental health is very complex. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million\, or 18.5%—experiences mental illness in a given year. The rate of youth with severe depression increased from 5.9% in 2012 to 8.2% in 2015. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder also meet criteria related to having a physical illness or substance abuse. Physical health and mental health issues occur together. For example\, people with diabetes or cardiac conditions often develop depression as well. Being able to receive treatment for both conditions through an integrated behavioral health and primary care setting can be especially helpful since how we live our lives (behave) and our physical and mental health all interact with each other in complex ways. \n  \nKyllan Cody\, FACHE (Moderator)\nChief Executive Officer\nEncompass Rehabilitation Hospital of City View \n  \nTheresa Murphy\, LCSW\nDirector of Behavioral Health for the Family Medicine Residency Program\nMethodist Health System \n  \nCapriana Oyedeji\nProgram Manager of Dept. of Psychiatry\nUT Southwestern Medical Center \n  \nSandy Potter\, LCSW\, MSSW\, MBA\nVice President of Behavioral Health Services\nTexas Health Resources \nRegister Here\nSpeakers’ Bios: \n  \n  \nIn her position as CEO\, Kyllan Cody\, FACHE oversees all day-to-day operations as well as patient care and quality at the 77-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital.

DESCRIPTION:Lead & Reward a Just Culture & Establish Organizational Behavior Expectations\n\n\n\n\nThis panel has been approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face Credits.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMedical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States at 220\,000 to 440\,000 people dying each year from preventable errors according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.

SUMMARY:ACHENTX Third Quarter Education Event
DESCRIPTION:These panels have been approved for 1.5 ACHE Face-to-Face credits each (3.0 if you attend both). \nAgenda:\n3:30-5pm – Panel #1: Embracing a Dialogue about Gender Equity and Intersectionality \n5:30-7pm – Panel #2: Equity of Care \nRegister Here\nThis will be a virtual event.\nPanel #1: Embracing a Dialogue about Gender Equity and Intersectionality\nAs healthcare consumers become more demographically diverse\, healthcare leaders seek to recruit and retain talent from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Gaining an understanding of intersectionality will equip leaders to build and retain team members across difference and in ways that establish common ground and cultivate inclusive cultures of belonging The concept of intersectionality recognizes that everyone has multiple identities that intersect and influence how we view ourselves and interact with others. Learning how to effectively apply intersectionality principles will help organizations move beyond the one-dimensional aspects of traditional diversity\, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. \nIn the drive for gender equity\, healthcare leaders have acknowledged the need for fully inclusive gender equity that recognizes the intersectionality of race\, ethnicity\, sexual orientation\, and other dimensions of identity. Efforts to improve women representation in the senior ranks of healthcare management must include women from all backgrounds and experiences. When intersectionality considerations are incorporated into gender equity strategies\, organizations can reap tangible\, proven benefits including better talent recruitment and retention\, stronger DEI outcomes\, and improved organizational performance. \nPanel #1 Panelists:\nLaSharndra Barbarin\, MHA\, FACHE\nChief Executive Officer\nMedical City Lewisville\nPatricia T.

It is known however\, that there is a healthcare divide in the U.S. especially in vulnerable populations including: those lacking health insurance (or are underfunded)\, low-income families\, racial and ethnic minorities\, and LGBTQ populations. The Affordable Care Act aimed to address access and equity of care issues by expanding health insurance coverage. Deficits in access to care changes the way healthcare is delivered and financed. \nTo embrace diversity is a core principle of the healthcare management profession and is also an ethical and business imperative. Healthcare organizations must ensure their staff is educated on disparities to appropriately address the needs of patients from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds to provide equitable high-quality care to all. It has been shown that patient-centered care improves clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing medical errors and costs. Eliminating healthcare disparities provides a strategic component to ensure organizational excellence and long-term financial viability. \nPanel #2 Panelists:\nDaffodil Baez\, FACHE\, MPH\, MBA (Moderator)\nAssistant Director of Clinical Operations\nUniversity of Texas Southwestern Medical Center- Frisco\nGary DiPersi BSN\, MBAHA\, CENP\, FACHE (Moderator)\nNational Director of Patient Safety\nTenet Health\nCatherine Oliveros\nVice President of Community Health Improvement\nTexas Health Resources\nBianca L.
