A group of panelists, including Annette Parisi of AHI and Brian McDermott of Glens Falls Hospital shared insights for transforming the region’s health care system\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Regional health care professionals, community
\nleaders, and a panel of local experts, explored
\nthe challenges and approaches associated with
\ntransforming the Adirondack\/North Country region
\ninto a high-performing integrated health
\nsystem at Adirondack Health Institute’s recently held
\nannual summit.<\/p>\n

More than 200 individuals attended
\nIntegrating Health Care in the Adirondacks,
\nSept. 24 in Lake Placid.
\nCreating an integrated health care delivery
\nsystem centered on evidence-based medicine
\nand population health management across the
\nAdirondack region was the focus of the event.<\/p>\n

A diverse and dynamic group of panelists shared
\ninsights, best practices, and recommendations
\nfor transforming the region’s health care system.
\nThey were:
\nKaren Ashline, Adirondacks ACO; Annette
\nParisi, AHI; Dr. Brian McDermott, Glens Falls
\nHospital; Scott Momrow, Hixny; and Peter Trout,
\nClinton County Mental Health & Addiction
\nServices, Moderator Hope Plavin, Innovation
\nCenter, state Department of Health.<\/p>\n

Health care providers, administrators,
\nbusiness, government and association
\nrepresentatives, and other key stakeholders
\nfrom nine North Country counties — Clinton,
\nEssex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Saratoga, St.
\nLawrence, Warren and Washington – attended
\nthe event.<\/p>\n

Panelists emphasized a more patient-centered
\napproach.
\n“At the end of the day it’s about the patient.
\nWe try to measure the system, but should focus
\non the needs and successes of the patient,” said
\nMcDermott.<\/p>\n

Ashline added that caregivers shouldn’t solely
\nfocus on individuals who enter the health care
\nsystem.
\n“We can track the patients who come to the
\nED (emergency department). It’s the individuals
\nthat we don’t know about who fall through
\nthe cracks,” she said. “We need to identify and
\nsupport those individuals before they become
\nchronically ill.”<\/p>\n

“The health care landscape is ever-changing
\nand new challenges for providing quality, easily accessible
\nand affordable care arise every day.<\/p>\n

The North Country is no exception and faces
\nperhaps even more difficult care provision
\nchallenges because it is so vast and remote,” said
\nCathy Homkey, CEO of AHI. “It’s important AHI
\ncoordinates forums such as our summit, because
\nit allows those involved in the process to hear
\nfrom experts in order to collectively formulate
\na vision and game plan for insuring a healthy
\nfuture for our region.”<\/p>\n

Other topics explored at the event included:
\nDr. Jacob Reider, chief strategy officer, Kyron,
\nInc., an expert in health information technology
\npolicy, innovation, and strategy, discussed the
\nrural impact of HIT in a morning keynote
\npresentation.<\/p>\n

Gloria Kupferman, vice president, DataGen,
\ndiscussed patient-centered analytics to support
\ncare redesign and new payment models in an
\nafternoon keynote presentation.<\/p>\n

The summit is one of the many community
\nservices provided by AHI (Adirondack Health
\nInstitute). For more than 25 years, we have used
\nour relationships, resources, expertise, and
\ncapacity to provide technical assistance and
\nvalue-added services.<\/p>\n
