Theranostics is the combination of imaging and therapy designed for specific types of cancer as an alternative or collaboration to traditional treatment options. As the number of effective theranostic procedures grows\, more patients are being assessed for tumor burden; indeed\, theranostic experts believe these will become the standard procedure for other diseases.

This panel will explore the promise and perils of precision medicine focused on theranostics. \nModerator: \nLucas J.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion:  Resources to Enhance Access to Care for Veterans
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion: Resources to Enhance Access to Care for Veterans \nDate: June 17\, 2025 \nTime: 5:30pm-7:00pm (EST) \nLocation: Virtual \nThe traditional boundaries between Public\, Private and Federal Healthcare delivery have become more permeable as healthcare regulations and requirements have changed. The beneficiary population can no longer be considered as belonging to its system alone. Patients seek services outside the Veterans Administration healthcare system for many reasons\, including access\, capacity\, and cost. Traditionally\, migration between healthcare systems would be discouraged through financial measures or by threat of disenrollment. Today healthcare systems rely on each other to provide services that they cannot provide for financial\, geographical or accessibility reasons. The Veterans Administration and Department of Defense both rely on partnerships with public and private healthcare systems to provide care to Veterans\, Service Members\, and their dependents beyond the capability of the Federal system. \nThrough this discussion\, participants will gain an understanding of the complexities related to documentation of episodes of care\, reimbursement for completed care\, and information technology challenges; the integration of technological advances such as telemedicine; and the future of public\, private and federal healthcare delivery as it relates to their respective patient populations. This discussion will be centered around enhancing partnerships with Federal and community providers that properly reduce costs while improving the quality and access of care for Veterans. \nModerator: \nJohn Ament – RN\, MBA\, MHA\, FACHE – Colonel (Ret) – U.S. Army \nPanelists: \nDon Sexton – PhD\, FACHE – Chief Operating Officer – Madigan Army Medical Center \nDr. Paul Kim – Clinical Assistant Professor\, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System \nDiana Laskey \nRegistration is a 2-step process. (You will not receive VIRTUAL credits unless you complete both steps.) \n1. Click the STEP ONE link below. You must register and pay on the MCACHE platform. \n*Memorial Day Promotion: This program is now free for college students (in step 1 use code FREEHEN)\, emerging leaders/young professionals (in step 1 use code EMERGING)\, and Veterans or anyone with a Veteran in their immediate family (in step 1 use code THANKYOU). \nSTEP ONE REGISTRATION HERE \n2. Click the STEP TWO link below. You must register on the ACHE platform to have access to the Zoom login credentials and receive your credits. There is no additional cost associated with this step. If you are NOT an ACHE member you will create an account on ACHE.org account\, but you don’t have to become a member. \nSTEP TWO REGISTRATION HERE \nYou will join the Zoom session through your ACHE account or the new account you set up if you are not a member. \n**This program is awarded 1.5 hour of ACHE Virtual Interactive Education credits.

SUMMARY:MCACHE with Inforum: Finding your way through mergers and acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:  \nMCACHE with Inforum: Finding your way through mergers and acquisitions \nDate: June 5\, 2025 \nTime: 7:30am – 9:30am (EST) \nRefreshments provided by Michigan Medicine \nLocation: Trinity Health \n20555 Victor Pkwy \nLivonia\, MI 48152 \n  \nM&A and Integrations – How do you find your way through mergers and acquisitions? \nThe only constant in life is change\, and no industry has experienced more change and upheaval in recent years than the healthcare industry. Hospitals have been caught up in a sweeping trend of consolidation and there has been much debate about whether consolidation in the healthcare sector will help or hurt patients\, with many arguing that fewer hospitals will result in higher prices and inferior care. Others argue the exact opposite. The forces driving change are varied\, as are the approaches hospitals are taking to adapt. One of the clearest consequences of change is the recent surge in merger and acquisition activity. As a leader in the healthcare industry\, executives must be prepared to lead their organization\, their employees\, and community through this transition. \nSchedule: \n7:30am-8:00am Networking \n8:00am-9:30am Panel Discussion \n  \nModerator: \nTravis Souza – Associate Chief Strategy Officer – Michigan Medicine \nPanelists: \nLiz Youngblood MBA\, RN\, FACHE | LinkedIn MBA\, RN\, FACHE\, SVP – COO Hospitals & Post Acute – East Region at Corewell Health \nRobin Damschroder – FACHE – President\, Value-Based Enterprise and CFO – Henry Ford \nAne Shirinian McNeil – SVP – Human Resources – Trinity Health (FL\, GA\, MI\, OH) \n*This program is awarded 1.5 hours of in-person education credits \n  \nREGISTER HERE!

This panel breaks us out of our own echo chamber by inviting leaders across disciplines—climate advocates\, chemists\, healthcare informatics\, and physicians—to ask the bold questions no one else is asking; why isn’t tech solving these problems yet? Why do the barriers continue to exist? And what would it take for technology to truly transform community health? \nModerator: Phillip Levy\, Wayne State University\n\nPanelists:\n \nPaul Thomas\, Plum Health \nAlecia Gabriel\, The Lab Drawer \nMargarita Hernandez\, Chingona Consulting\nPhillip Olla\, University of Detroit Mercy\n\n\n3:00-3:15 PM\nClosing Remarks\n\n\n3:15-5:00 PM\nOpen Networking\n\n\n3:30-5:00 PM\nSpeed Matchmaking (accepted companies only)

SUMMARY:Value Based Care: Enhancing Provider and Payor Partnerships - March 5\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join MCACHE March 5th for an evening discussion on Value Based Care! \nAs reimbursements shift from volume based to value based\, healthcare organizations are becoming more responsible for providing the resources necessary to meet the needs of a given population. Aligning quality of care with the appropriate level of care and services becomes pertinent to healthcare organizations’ bottom line. \nBuilding and enhancing provider and payor partnerships is essential to providing this kind of care. As the acuity of care increases\, healthcare leaders must coordinate equitable care and properly address social determinants of health. The focus is no longer treating patients but proactively keeping patients out of the acute healthcare setting and providing care in the community. Federal requirements to meet HEDIS/HOS measure requirements paired with new payment models poses additional challenges for providers and payors alike. \nThis discussion will be centered around building partnerships with payors and providers that properly reduce costs while improving the quality and access of care and addresses federal requirements centered around preventing acute health issues for those suffering from chronic disease. \nEvent Schedule:  \n5:30pm-6:30pm Registration/Networking/Refreshments & Appetizers \n6:30pm-8:00pm Program \nModerator: Mark Herzog (FACHE\, MHSA) – Faculty\, ACHE: Mark Herzog Bio \nSpeaker 1: Lori Aronson – VP\, Care Delivery Solutions: Lori Aronson Bio \nSpeaker 2: Mary Zuckerman (FACHE) – VP\, General Manager\, Honest Health: Mary Zuckerman Bio \nSpeaker 3: Courtland Keteyian (MD\, MBA\, MPH) – Interim President & CEO\, Mosaic Clinically Integrated Network: Courtland Keteyian Bio \nThis program has been approved for 1.5 hours of In-Person Education Credits. \nClick here to register!
