Patient access and experience. Long wait times and complicated processes continue to frustrate patients. Steven Lash will discuss practical ways providers can simplify access, improve communication, and strengthen trust with the communities they serve.
Operational planning in uncertain conditions. Healthcare organizations must plan for shifting regulations, reimbursement changes, and economic pressures.
