John P. Sganga Executive Vice President, GNYHA Ventures President & CEO, Innovatix President & CEO, Essensa

n behalf of the entire team, I would like to welcome you to the 2015 Innovatix + Essensa National Meeting & Expo. One of the things I like best about this meeting is the personal interaction, and I look forward to getting to speak with each of you this week.

Our conference is a wonderful forum in which to exchange new ideas, share best practices, and discuss the pressing issues that face our industries. It is also your opportunity to uncover new savings through the Innovatix and Essensa purchasing programs and learn about some of our newest offerings, such as Scriptmax™ (our new pharmacy claims analytics service) and our updated Innovatix Specialty Pharmacy Management (ISPM) and InnovatixCares population health management programs. I’m particularly proud of the range of our educational tracks and the caliber of our presenters. This year’s educational sessions offer unprecedented value to members, covering (among other topics) population health issues from both payer and health-system provider perspectives, how to safeguard electronic protected health information (ePHI), and a review of medication errors with the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP). These sessions are being led by speakers who are counted among the foremost thought leaders in their industries.

We are also excited about unveiling the new member website at innovatix.com. The refreshed site contains a dedicated member resource section, event calendar, a link to a new self-service section, improved functionality, and a fresh new look.

I never fail to be amazed and gratified by the exceptional support our annual meeting receives from the supplier community. This year is no exception. The Exhibition Hall is expansive and diverse. I encourage members to spend a bit of time with our suppliers. It’s a great opportunity to explore their products and share some of the challenges you may be experiencing. Our meeting offers a great opportunity to get answers directly from the source. There might even be some fun photo ops in the Expo area.

I would also like to take a moment to thank you for your business and for taking time out of your hectic schedule to be with us this week. With your participation, I know this is going to be our best event to date.

The 2016 Innovatix + Essensa National Meeting and Expo returns to our hometown, New York City, from October 17–19. Please mark your calendar now.

Keep up the good work, and enjoy the conference.

4:15 – 5:15 p.m. Educational Sessions

2A./2B. The Evolution of Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI): Trends & Troubleshooting Speaker: S. Leigh Davitian, JDLocation: Meeting Room 16Overview: It has been nearly 20 years since the Health Insurance Portability and Accountabil-ity Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was passed. This groundbreaking statute focused on many important areas governing electronic protected health information (ePHI)—how it is produced, saved, transferred, and received. Regardless of the type of electronic device used to access ePHI, users must abide by detailed HIPAA Security Rule guidelines.

During this program, Leigh Davitian will discuss significant ePHI requirements, emerging trends, and potential areas of non-compliance. Additionally, the session will explore new HI-TECH Act requirements that focus on internal procedures for assessing possible breaches and self-reporting ePHI breaches to government entities.

2C. Basics of Healthcare Accounting & Financial ManagementSpeaker: Jeffrey Helton, PhD, FHFMA, CMA, CMELocation: Meeting Room 15Overview: While the primary objective of healthcare is helping patients, it must also work as a viable business. And managing any business requires a basic understanding of financial man-agement. Good financial management leads to efficient business operations that enable ac-cess to resources and fosters both good patient care and satisfied patients. In this presentation participants will learn how to describe the three major financial statements used in healthcare businesses and the key components of each, differentiate between the various approaches to recording business transactions and how those differences impact the report of financial results in a healthcare business, calculate and interpret basic financial ratios, and describe the factors that influence cash flow and how cash flow can be managed in a healthcare business.


2D.

3A. Non-Opioid Pharmacologic Options for the Management of Chronic Pain in Older Adults Speaker: Manju T. Beier, PhD, CGP, FASCPLocation: Meeting Room 16Overview: It is widely recognized that pain in the older adult population is undertreated and underreported. Despite the fact that 25%–40% of community-dwelling older adults and up to 80% of those in long-term care facilities experience pain, there are minimal practice recommendations for pain management. This session will review the risks and benefits of non-opioid therapies in older adults for pharmacologic pain management. The recent FDA safety communication regarding NSAIDs will be highlighted along with drug-disease interactions with this class of medications. What factors go into selecting the right agent or regimen in older adults? Geriatric-specific recommendations will be addressed.

3C. Managing Your Multigenerational Workforce: Bridging the Gap Between the Rising & the Retiring Generations (90 minute session)Speaker: Shira HarringtonLocation: Meeting Rooms 10 -11Overview: Have you ever wondered why people of various age groups seem to have conflicting workplace values? Every generation is influenced by both societal events and their parental upbringing, which causes differences in work ethic, life values, work-life balance expectations, teamwork, communication styles, and relationship to authority, to name a few. Moreover, with Millennials accustomed to a technology-driven environment and less-techno savvy Baby Boomers facing retirement, recruiting, retaining, and managing these disparate age groups can be daunting. This session, will provide insights into why Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials think and behave the way they do, and how to create a more inclusive work environment that embraces the uniqueness of every generation.

4C./4D. Cybersecurity: What Every Business Should KnowSpeaker: Dale Meyerrose, ProfDLocation: Meeting Room 16Overview: This session covers the basics of cybersecurity, its impact on organizations, and what to do about the challenge. Much of what we read and hear about cybersecurity in the media is sensationalized and misleading. The needless embellishments about the number of breaches and the manner in which they occur obscure the fact that cyber evil-doers continue to change their tactics to become more targeted, profitable, efficient, and damaging. The important statis-tic that seems to have eluded many is that most of the attacks originate from behind the firewall, due to social engineering and human error. Failure to recognize the low-tech approach of most cyber attacks relegates organizations to fixing symptoms and not root causes. This session will cover lessons from the front lines about best practices for dealing with cyber realities instead of cyber myths. Dr. Meyerrose is an internationally recognized senior leader and cybersecurity ex-pert with almost four decades of military, government, business, and academic experience, and is currently director of a cybersecurity leadership certificate program at one of the top computer science universities in the nation.

Educational Sessions 5A. Improving the Safe Use of Opioids: A Collaborative’s Perspective Speaker: Matthew Grissinger, RPh, FISMP, FACSCP Location: Meeting Room 16 Overview: High-alert medications, such as opioids, continue to be among the top medications involved in medication errors and are responsible for patient injury in all types of healthcare settings. Identifying the risks associated with the processes and lack of knowledge about these medications is paramount to preventing patient harm. As a part of the Pennsylvania Hospital Engagement Network adverse drug event collaboration sponsored by the Centers for Medi-care & Medicaid Services, knowledge and organization assessment tools were developed so that the participating hospitals could assess their practitioners’ current knowledge about the use of opioids as well as to assess the safety of practices when using high-alert medications in hospitals.

October 22THURSDAY

NM 15


3:45 – 5:00 p.m. 5A continued:Upon completion of the session, participants will learn the advantages of proactively as-sessing practices that involve high-alert medications to enable organizations to identify the potential weaknesses of their medication-use systems.

5B. Panel Discussion—The Destruction & Disposal of Unused Medications: Reconciling the New EPA Proposal, DEA Rules & State & Local RegulationsSpeakers: Elise Paeffgen, JD, MEM, Charlotte A. Smith, MS, and Holly Strom, RPhLocation: Meeting Room 2Overview: This panel discussion explores the patchwork of rules and regulations that dictate the proper destruction and disposal of unused medications, with an emphasis on the new proposal from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Three industry experts— Elise Paeffgen, Charlotte Smith, and Holly Strom—will explore key issues that must be considered when determining proper, lawful methods and documentation for destroying and disposing of unused medications. Special emphasis will be placed on handling unused medications in long-term care facilities.

5C. Capturing the Most Persuasive Content & Stories for Your Marketing EffortSpeaker: Tod PlotkinLocation: Meeting Room 15Overview: Video marketing content has been shown to provide the best ROI and be the most persuasive content in the digital landscape. The most commonly created video marketing content created for corporate purposes is documentary-based. The core of creating strong documentary content is having a strong strategy for capturing interviews. Having conducted thousands of interviews, Tod Plotkin will walk you through tips, techniques, and strategies for conducting video interviews. He will also answer any questions you may have about video marketing strategy and creation.

5D. InnovatixCaresSpeaker: James V. Vasquenza, Jr.Location: Meeting Room 5Overview: While policymakers continue to debate the future of the Affordable Care Act, risk-based payment models are here to stay. The shift from volume-based to value-based pay-ments is moving all providers toward population health management and accountable care organizations (ACOs). These networks span the provider continuum, linking hospitals with non-acute providers in sharing responsibility for improving health and reducing costs within a defined population. Hospitals and physician practices are looking to partner with non-acute providers that deliver the best outcomes; non-acute providers that are not prepared for this shift risk network carve-outs, loss of patient volume, and reduced revenue streams. Innovatix-Cares is the nation’s first population health management network launched to help non-acute providers compete in the new shared-risk models. In this session, participants will learn about the InnovatixCares program, which ensures that providers are prepared to succeed in a popu-lation health environment.
