And four more news items for hospital administrators, health system leaders, practice managers, and other healthcare executives to peruse this week.
- Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News shares Michelle Mello’s expertise on communication-and-resolution programs (CRPs), an approach for responding to patients who have been injured while receiving treatment. Mello, professor of law and professor of health research and policy at Stanford University, previously discussed the topic at the 2017 GI Roundtable. She says CRPs, when properly executed, greatly improve reporting and communication as well as investigations, and make compensation offers more proactive and expeditious.
- In a recently published Becker’s Hospital Review post, nine healthcare CEOs from different parts of the country reveal how they overcame challenges their organizations faced in 2017, from natural disaster response to implementation of a new EHR system. Moreover, these healthcare leaders discuss some of the issues they intend to conquer this year, which include internal and external transparency, the use of telemedicine technologies, and primary care recruitment.

- Physicians remain under increasing pressure to satisfy administrative tasks, such as mastering new EHR software and payment models, while delivering quality care to their patients.

As reported by Healthcare IT News, the session, which will be presented by Stephen Klasko, president and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health, and athenahealth CEO Jonathan Bush, will cover physician capability and engagement as well as how to implement technology that complements provider needs, eliminates work, and engages clinicians.
