Any Care Counts
Almost half of caregivers deal with the added responsibility of caring for a loved one, family member, neighbor, or friend. Keynote speaker Alexandra Drane is CEO and Co-founder of ARCHANGELS, an organization that advocates for unpaid caregivers.
She will share ARCHANGELS’ most recent data, which illustrates that these caregivers are widespread, often unaware of their “double-duty” situation, and the massive opportunity we have to recognize and connect them to support. Because data should drive action, Alexandra will share how that information is translating into impact with public-private partnerships in several states. By measuring and buffering the intensity of this unpaid care, we can create huge social and economic shifts that improve the health of our caregivers everywhere.

Complex Patient Care Coordinated: An ACO Success Story
My Care Family is an ACO that was created through a partnership between a Massachusetts health system and a health plan. The ACO began creating a preferred network of home healthcare agencies, and what resulted from this closer relationship is a highly coordinated approach to patient care, where payers, providers, and community agencies work together to facilitate high-quality, holistic outcomes. Incorporating input from behavioral health, primary care, and nurse case managers, patients benefit from an interdisciplinary team’s various perspectives and continuous, point-of-care updates to find innovative solutions to shared problems. This panel will share their experience and lessons learned from this value-based arrangement.

Using Analytics to Drive Top Performance Value

Using AI to Retain Employees: The Amedisys Success Story
Even before the pandemic turned the world’s attention to the staffing crisis, market-leader Amedisys was actively soliciting its employee base and thinking creatively about how to retain and engage their staff.

When coupled with a retention program for managers to proactively engage those employees, the impact has been felt across their enterprise. Sharon Brunecz, Chief Human Resource Officer at Amedisys, shares along with a panel of Amedisys employees some of the model’s leading indicators, and the actions managers take to keep their staff feeling valued, heard – and employed.
