Upcoming OPEN MINDS Crisis Management Web Briefings Focus On Telehealth & Cash Management
GETTYSBURG, Pa., April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its new program, The OPEN MINDS Executive Blueprint For Crisis Management – Building Organizational Sustainability & Success In A Disrupted Health & Human Service Market, OPEN MINDS announced two new web briefings coming up this week, focused on telehealth and on cash management. "Cash management and telehealth are key issues on the minds of executives of specialty provider organizations right now. The pandemic emergency has had two significant effects on operations and budgets. First, most health care services have been moved to 'virtual' delivery models. This has resulted in lower revenues and increased expenses in bringing up telehealth services on the fly," said OPEN MINDS chief executive officer Monica E. Oss. "These web briefings have been designed as 'short course' for executives who are focused on these issues."
On April 14 at 1:00 pm EDT, OPEN MINDS Senior Associate Deborah Adler will host an executive web briefing outlining how two behavioral health provider organizations are sustaining critical services during the COVID-19 pandemic by leveraging virtual services.
Kolmac Outpatient Recovery Center's Jen Dorsey, Chief Clinical Officer & Vice President of Operations and George Kolodner, M.D., Founder and Medical Director, will discuss how Kolmac developed guidelines and trained more than 200 staff at nine clinics, contacted 1,400 consumers in 24 hours, and developed protocols for virtual withdrawal management and group sessions to facilitate safe and secure treatment.
MindPath Care Center's Diego Garza, M.D., Vice President of Strategy & Innovation and Director of Telehealth will discuss how the organization increased telehealth use in their 37-location practice in 24 hours, adding an urgent care virtual waiting room to allow consumer "walk-in" services. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look into how these organizations managed the transformation to on-line services—and marketed them—to sustain operations and maintain treatment effectiveness in a time of crisis.
