The compounding trauma of the pandemic and violence against health care workers by patients, family members and visitors has heightened the need to create a safer workplace and a more resilient workforce. &nbsp;What does all this mean to your organization and how can you respond effectively to ensure the safety and security of your workforce? &nbsp;Join leaders in security and health care for a panel discussion on the increasing prevalence of workplace violence in health care settings. The panel will explore critical topics including the rise in violence, how to distinguish between violent and uncomfortable interactions, and the impact these incidents have on safety. Learn proven violence prevention techniques and discover strategies for building trust in safety protocols.<h3>Attendees Will Learn:</h3><ul><li>To identify and respond to workplace violence threats inside and outside facility walls.&nbsp;</li><li>The difference between violence and uncomfortable interactions and how each relates to safety.&nbsp;</li><li>How to build trust in health care settings, including home care services to improve the safety of health care workers.&nbsp;</li><li>How to implement best practices in violence prevention techniques and reporting on increased workplace violence incidents.</li></ul><h3>Speakers:</h3>Betty Jo Rocchio, DNP, RN, CRNA, CENP, EBP-C&nbsp; Executive Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive Advocate Health<div>Jason P.

As health care leaders are faced with workforce management challenges, adopting and leaning in on AI capabilities can help reduce and improve some of their most pressing workforce issues and help improve staff satisfaction and patient outcomes.AI can automate routine administrative tasks like patient registration, billing and documentation, freeing up clinicians鈥� time to provide direct patient care. AI capabilities also can help leaders make more informed decisions by leveraging historical data to predict patient admissions, forecast peak periods and determine optimal resource allocation to manage workforce constraints. &nbsp;All these benefits, however, are predicated on overcoming common barriers to AI adoption, such as:<ul><li>Providing access to high-quality data.</li><li>Prioritizing use cases that will drive quick wins, efficiency gains and improved quality and safety.</li><li>Bridging divides between clinical and information technology teams.</li><li>Building trust with health care professionals, patients and families.</li><li>Creating effective training and change management programs to overcome staff resistance.</li></ul>Join this thought-provoking discussion led by a panel of clinical and technology experts with demonstrated success in assessing, implementing, integrating and adopting AI workforce management capabilities.

At the same time, health care finds itself in an unprecedented moment of strain. Enterprises are excited to experiment and transform, but they face serious risk of taking action without discipline or focus on measurable value.Traditional AI such as robotic process automation (RPA) and predictive modeling has already heavily penetrated health systems, but never before has our generation experienced the speed of innovation driven by generative AI. We鈥檝e already seen generative AI (GenAI) reshape health care worker tasks, most notably in <a href="https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/health-tech/epic-nuance-build-out-more-gpt4-tools-ehrs-help-save-doctors-time">electronic health record (EHR) software integration of GPT-4 to generate patient chart summaries. &nbsp;</a>As providers and health systems adopt AI, from traditional to generative, AI increasingly touches every part of the enterprise. This adoption comes with financial, legal and ethical implications. Responsible AI (RAI) in health care is evolving into a discipline to drive value against organizational goals, compliance, and trust within the context of AI. RAI is now a mechanism to drive value for patients, providers, and operators. Data literacy must be elevated and issues like security, bias, and trust should be considered at every step in the AI life cycle. And in the end, we can鈥檛 lose sight of ensuring that this technology is deployed with a human-centered approach. &nbsp;Join us as we take a deep dive on these topics with our panel of executive, clinical and administrative leaders who will talk about best practices, challenges and how we can usher in the future of health care together.

Additionally, shared decision-making is known to reduce the cost of care. These discussions among physicians and patients (including their family members or caregivers) form the bedrock of perioperative informed consent.&nbsp;Instituting shared decision-making requires leadership involvement. Staff may need to be trained in what shared decision-making is and how to implement it. There also may be changes in staff assignments, workflow and resources that will need your guidance and approval.&nbsp;The optimal decision considers evidence-based information about available options, the provider鈥檚 knowledge and experience and the patient鈥檚 values and preferences.&nbsp;Nevertheless, the rate and quality of risk documentation needs to be improved, notes a study published in 2020 in Perioperative Medicine1 .&nbsp;To truly engage patients in shared decision-making and provide proper informed consent, clinicians not only need the appropriate risk data, but they need to share it with patients and document these conversations. Implementing tools that can deliver insights into perioperative risk can enhance patient safety and the delivery of care.
