Thoughts from Ken Kaufman 4 Best Practices for Effective Post-Allocation Management Post-allocation management ensures continued alignment of financial performance with strategic planning cash-flow requirements. Article A Balanced Approach to Innovation Q&A with Eugene Woods, President and CEO, Carolinas HealthCare System Read this Q&A to hear how Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) approaches and organizes innovation initiatives, as well as how their President and CEO would advise others to go about embracing innovation and creative thinking. Thoughts from Ken Kaufman Using Science to Improve the Art of Staffing This paper describes the complexity of the staffing system, and suggests how the infusion of contemporary science with the art of current staffing could significantly improve staff allocation. Article Increased For-Profit Funding for Outpatient Expansion Should Put Hospitals on Alert Recent news about investments in outpatient care among non-traditional competitors should put hospitals and health systems on notice: The nature of healthcare today is generating aggressive competition for patients and physicians.

Article Industry Flash Report: Home Health and Hospice Services 2017 The latest Industry Flash Report looks at mergers, acquisitions, and partnership activity in the Home Health and Hospice sectors, including the major players involved, and the implications for hospitals and health systems. Research Report 2017 State of Consumerism in Healthcare Benchmarks for how well America’s hospitals and health systems are prioritizing consumerism and building consumer-centric capabilities. Research Report What We Mean When We Say “Digital” “Digital strategy” is the phrase of the moment in healthcare. That’s no surprise, with 95 percent of Americans owning a cell phone, 88 percent using the internet, and 72 percent using services of the digital economy. Yet the focus of a truly successful digital strategy transcends what we usually think of as digital. Article A Data-Driven Approach to Improving Clinical Care and Reducing Costs Start the critical cost-reduction phase and take an in-depth look at clinical care, using data analytics. Article How Online Expert Opinions Could Change Traditional Healthcare As more patients turn to their laptops, tablets, and other devices for the expert advice of oncologists, cardiologists, radiologists, and other specialists in distant locations, local demand ultimately will diminish for those physicians, and/or their roles will change. It is not difficult to envision a future in which care diagnosis across the country, and perhaps even the world, is concentrated in a relatively limited number of “National/International Diagnostic Centers.” Article Opening Pandora’s Box The changes proposed in the Senate and House healthcare bills would affect a large and highly vulnerable population: poor children, people with disabilities, elderly people whose resources have been depleted, and adults suffering from short-term or long-term poverty. Yet, the House and Senate bills contain no direction on how to implement the proposed changes in a way that would not hurt the millions of people the program serves or the many others touched by Medicaid. These high-stakes effects would be left to states and providers to remedy and for these populations to absorb. Our nation’s healthcare system is a large and complex web system of interdependencies among individuals, providers, governments, employers, payers, and many other stakeholders. Any change to one part of that system could cause multiple, hard-to-predict effects on any and every other part. Thoughts from Ken Kaufman Diverse Activity Showcases New Rationale Many healthcare providers are seeking the ability to form—or the opportunity to join—an integrated system or delivery network.
