Complimentary popcorn, a cup of coffee, and a seat — another year of Byte‑Sized Booth Talks, short sessions presented by Arcadia experts and other healthcare visionaries with a finger on the pulse. Read below for more information on this year’s topics.
Below are all the Arcadia Byte-Sized Booth Talks that happened at HIMSS this year.
Social determinants of Health (SDoH) — including housing, behavioral health, addiction, social isolation, food insecurity, violence, financial instability, employment, and transportation — are systemic. They contribute to disparities between communities and even neighborhoods within the same city, in health and life expectancies. Here, learn how to take steps to address SDoH and improve patient outcomes.
Speaker:
We all know about the importance of measuring and managing patient and population health — but what about the importance of data health? In this expert talk we go over what it means to have healthy data, and why data health is a critical foundation for population health.
Speaker:
There are two common myths around end-of-life care. First, that these conversations are difficult. Second, that they take a lot of time. But these assumptions aren’t necessarily true. Here we learn how you can build better end of life care programs for your patients.

The first 30 days after patient discharge are critical. AMITA Health Care Network (AHCN), a top-rated Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) in Illinois, was able to succeed in TCM by empowering their population health teams with data analytics.

How do you identify gaps in care and then use data to get patients the services they need when they need them most? How can you turn the overwhelming scale of SDoH into discrete, actionable insights? Here we discuss how experts are using technology to segment and engage patients in a targeted, data-driven manner.
Speaker:
As downside risk becomes more common in the industry, organizations need to shift to a more proactive approach to quality performance measurement. Arcadia's measures can show provider performance as recently as a couple of days prior, compared to an up to 3 month lag that payer reports provide. Let's discuss how you can leverage this timely data.
Speakers:
In the immediate aftermath of CMS's new Risk Adjustment Data Validation rule, Medicare payers are facing the need for error-proof documentation.

The health impact of wildfire smoke has grown exponentially in Oregon. Umpqua Health attempted to mitigate some of its members’ challenges by distributing air purifiers.

Speakers:
