Moderator: Michael J. Randall, Manager, The Camden Group

In order to capture future financial rewards realized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) must be organized before 2012. Since only one Accountable Care Organization will be designated per region, care providers must begin this process now. These networks of medical providers- hospitals, physician and specialists- will share responsibility for coordinating care and improving quality and cost-efficiency of patients in their respective region while sharing cost savings and rewards as well.

Hear from industry thought leaders on how your organization can evaluate their readiness to form an Accountable Care Organization and what steps need to be taken to implement this network from a supply chain perspective. Explore how an Accountable Care Organization works, how payments are handled and what are the key success factors.

Learning Objectives: 
1. Explore if your organization is ready to form an Accountable Care Organization.
2. Determine the steps in insuring a successful collaboration among all stakeholders.
3. Outline what guidelines and quality outcomes will be measured to assess the success of an Accountable Care Organization.

1:30 pm - 2:30 pm  Strategic Management Track Session: Leading Change: The Reorganization of the Nation's Largest Public Hospital System 

Presenters: Frank Cirillo, Senior VP and Chief Restructuring Officer, New York Health & Hospitals Corporation and Kimberly Mulqueen, Principal, Enterprise Transformation, Health Sciences, Deloitte Consulting, LLP

Moderator: John Kelly, CEO, Healthcare Business Media

With the pressure of a $1.2 billion budget gap borne of decreasing Medicaid dollars, increasing numbers of uninsured patients and an increase in the costs of employee pensions and other benefits, New York City Health & Hospitals Corp. saw an unprecedented need to reorganize in an effort to maintain high quality patient care while cutting costs. Put in charge of this arduous task, Frank Cirillo, who had been NYCHHC's senior vice president of operations and is now chief restructuring officer, embarked on a four-year restructuring process with the help of Deloitte Consulting. With year one complete, Cirillo and Deloitte have finished "the easy part" of coming up with a plan; implementation—the "hard part"—is next.

The plan consists of 39 options in five buckets: Administrative/Shared Support Services, Long-Term Care Realignment, Affiliation Contracts/Physician Services Realignment, Acute Care Realignment and Ambulatory/Outpatient Care Realignment, which will be implemented over the next three fiscal years. Upon full implementation, the plan will yield NYCHHC $304 million in cost savings and revenue increases.

This session will explore the restructuring plan and how it achieved the goal of delivering a workable and acceptable roadmap to meet financial and operational restructuring targets. It will also look at the next phase of restructuring; in preparation for national healthcare reform, NYCHHC will most likely move toward becoming an accountable care organization and provide each patient with a medical home.

Learning Objectives: 
1. Explore how to develop a reorganization plan for your health system.
2. Describe the challenges and opportunities that implementing a reorganization plan can present.
3. Detail what changes your organization can implement to prepare for healthcare reform and why those changes are necessary.

Mr. Butch Lumpkin

Golf Pro, Tennis Coach and
Acclaimed Motivational Speaker

 

In the 1950's and 1960's there were between ten and twenty thousand "Thalidomide Babies" born after their mother's took the drug to combat morning sickness.  Butch Lumpkin is one of the approximately 5,000 survivor's world-wide.  Born with what he calls "short arms," he really has what amounts to no functional arms at all.  Three fingers extend from his left side in a flipper like manner, and his right arm ends before the elbow with three fingers that point backward toward his body.  If you ask Butch he'll tell you he is blessed and after this inspiring opening session you'll understand why.

Join the IDN Summit as we welcome Butch Lumpkin as he shares his incredible life story. One that has taken this extraordinary man through life as a high school soccer star, university soccer and tennis champion, golf pro, motivational speaker with appearances in front of high school groups to a recent ESPN Espy Awards show.

Butch will discuss why he feels blessed, how much modern healthcare has enabled him to progress through life, his life of stories and how each of us can make a difference because it is only a matter of choice. This is one talk you will not want to miss!

9:15 am - 10:15 am  Keynote Presentation: John Hofmeister

Mr. John Hofmeister

Former President, Shell Oil;
CEO, Citizens for Affordable Energy;
Author, Why We Hate the Oil Companies: Straight Talk from an Energy Insider

Perhaps no one in America can offer such a unique, real-world perspective on leadership, knowledgeable commentary on the recent BP oil spill, future energy solutions and thoughts on improving healthcare delivery than John Hofmeister.  During his career he has held executive leadership positions in General Electric, Nortel, AlliedSignal and finally at Shell Oil as President. These corporate positions as well as his service on leading organization's boards have given him insights on crucial issues impacting healthcare delivery.

As the leader of large, multinational human resources departments John is well versed in the demands being placed on the US healthcare delivery networks and is keenly aware of the challenges we all face in improving healthcare delivery. John will discuss how corporate behaviors of all kinds are being scrutinized much more closely today than they were in the past and how everyone in an organization becomes the public face an organization presents. After recent high-profile incidents, we all understand why corporate behavior has never been more crucial to organizations long-term fortunes. He will also elaborate on what he felt was the most important lesson he learned as Shell Oil president — leaders need to take their own messages seriously, so that others will as well.

John will provide his insights on these issues and more as he addresses critical issues we all must deal with if we are to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Come prepared with your questions as John will entertain them at the conclusion of his talk.
