ARC Broadband Bootcamp
2023-03-30 14:00 - 15:00, 2023-03-23 14:00 - 15:00 UTC | Webinar
Many local leaders across Appalachia have had significant broadband work added to their plates recently. If it feels like you have been asked to become a broadband expert overnight — we’re here to help. Understanding the vast array of broadband funding opportunities available, and knowing how to navigate the partnerships and strategies required to ensure your community is served doesn’t need to be your job alone.

The Appalachian Regional Commission, in partnership with the National Broadband Resource Hub, is offering a Zoom-in broadband bootcamp of one-hour sessions over six weeks that will cover everything about broadband that local leaders need to know. Each session will also have plenty of time for people to ask questions of the broadband experts specific to their community’s unique situation.

The sessions will cover foundational broadband knowledge, an overview of the typical broadband planning process, funding and financing, partnership structures and strategies, broadband mapping and data, as well as digital inclusion.

Attendees just need to register once to attend any or all of the sessions.

HIMSS Tennessee Chapter | Summit23
2023-03-23 09:00 - 16:00 UTC | Franklin Marriott Cool Springs, 700 Cool Springs Blvd, Franklin, TN, 37067
Come join TN HIMSS on March 23 for a full day educational and networking event with leading industry speakers and innovators as they take a look at the state of healthcare today — and tomorrow. How do we embrace change? What does the future hold for patient care? How do we empower both providers and patients? Where does healthcare go from the post pandemic recovery to charting a course for innovation in delivery?
Certainly, Health IT will play a central role with digital platforms expanding for personalized patient care and innovations for providers backed by AI — fueled by even newer breakthrough technology. The pace of change is not slowing down, but rather accelerating as we look to the future. Clinical care continues to transform itself with more patients expecting care outside of the exam room and in a virtual environment. Clinician shortages are impacting patient satisfaction — and care — and Health IT may hold hope in addressing that critical impact in today’s coordinated care environment. Investment into new technology and delivery models continues to rapidly increase and investors keenly focused on building out portfolios with impact solutions.
At TN HIMSS’ Summit23, panelists and presenters will address a range of topics that include the shifting healthcare landscape, artificial intelligence, clinician shortages, investment strategies and more. Join us and hear from the innovators, practitioners and technologists that are delivering on Health IT innovation today and how they see continued transformational change happening.
Update:
Special invite and offer ($25 off) to the upcoming TN HIMSS Chapter’s signature annual event, Summit23, on March 23rd in Franklin, TN.

Telehealth in a Post-PHE World
2023-02-10 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
The PHE will end on May 11, 2023. Are you ready?
Description: How do you develop a strategy when the target keeps moving? The COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) was accompanied by several waivers and flexibilities that removed many of the barriers to telehealth. The PHE has been extended in 90-day increments since the PHE began in 2020. It is currently set to expire in April 2023. It may or may not be extended another 90-days. In the meantime:
• Some of the temporary flexibilities and waiver have been made permanent by CMS through changes to the published Physician’s Fee Schedules in 2021, 2022 and now 2023.
• Some of the temporary flexibilities and waivers will expire on the day the PHE is declared over.
• Some of the flexibilities and waivers have been extended for 151 days after the end of the PHE.
• Some of the flexibilities and waivers have been extended through December 31, 2024.
For those of you who jumped on the telehealth bandwagon after the PHE, you may or may not realize that the policy landscape for telehealth was very different prior to the PHE. If this describes you, you may be in for a very rude awakening. Join Rebecca Canino as she discusses the many tools she has put in place to help her organization stay on top of all these confusing and sometimes chaotic changes.
Presented by: Rebecca Canino, MBA, Executive Director, Telemedicine, Johns Hopkins Telemedicine
