SUMMARY:Bridging Public and Private: How Shared Data Infrastructure Is Closing the Gap in Care Transitions\, Presented by PointClickCare
DESCRIPTION:Health care does not fail patients at a single point. It fails them at the handoffs\, the moments between an acute stay and what comes next\, when responsibility shifts and information does not follow. Closing those gaps requires something the industry has historically struggled to build: genuine collaboration across public agencies\, nonprofit health information exchanges\, and private sector data networks. \nTexas offers a working example of what that collaboration can produce. The Texas Health Services Authority operates as a public-private bridge\, connecting government priorities\, nonprofit HIE infrastructure\, and for-profit data capabilities to serve care transitions across the state. Its encounter notification program shares data from acute and post-acute facilities across the state\, giving care teams real-time visibility into patient movement. \nThis webinar examines what it actually takes to build and sustain that kind of cross-sector collaboration. We will walk through how bringing acute and post-acute data together changes what care managers can see and do\, why the public-private structure matters for trust and adoption among subscribers\, and what happens to care transition outcomes when the data stops living in silos. Research on health information exchange confirms that community HIEs operating across organizational boundaries deliver stronger benefits than enterprise systems working within a single network. \nThe session closes with what this collaboration means for patients. When acute and post-acute data move with the patient across organizations\, care managers reach high-risk patients faster\,transitions happen with more complete information\, and the gaps where patients fall through become visible for the first time. The goal was never better data infrastructure for its own sake. It was fewer preventable readmissions\, better follow-up after discharge\, and care teams that are not flying blind at the moments that matter most. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the patientimpact that becomes possible when public and private interests align around shared data\, and a framework for making the case for that kind of collaboration in their own communities. \nVendor support for this session is provided by PointClickCare. PointClickCare and THSA have an existing partnership arrangement. Content is structured around operational frameworks and partnership lessons applicable across HIE programs and does not advocate for any specific vendor solution.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Immunization Reporting: Smarter Data\, Better Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Vaccines are a cornerstone of clinical care and a priority for public health agencies seeking to prevent and monitor disease outbreaks. In an era of declining vaccine rates\, it is critical to understand what factors are contributing to this trend and how to reverse it. California’s publicly available immunization datasets are incomplete\, creating challenges understanding true vaccination rates and identifying approaches to improve those rates. Closing these data gaps is a critical first step toward reversing declining vaccination rates and safeguarding public health. To help overcome this challenge\, Blue Shield of California Industry Initiatives is hosting a webinar on Strengthening Immunization Reporting: Smarter Data\, Better Outcomes. Attend the webinar to learn about multi-stakeholder efforts that are underway to understand and improve vaccine data. The panelists will discuss progress being made through the Public Health for All Californians Together (PHACT) Coalition\, as well as other opportunities to improve vaccine data\, including at the clinical practice level. Additionally\, the webinar will explore how clinicians and public health agencies can use better vaccine data to improve individual and population health outcomes. The speakers will provide a call to action for all webinar participants\, so listeners will be encouraged to think about how they can join efforts to improve vaccine data\, reporting\, and use.

SUMMARY:Realizing the Promise of RHTP: Transforming Infrastructure into Sustainable Rural Care
DESCRIPTION:Rural health care does not fail for a lack of local commitment. It fails at the systemic gaps—where clinical staff are stretched thin\, outdated IT infrastructure isolates local clinics\, and patients must travel hours for basic specialty or behavioral health services. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’(CMS) landmark $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bridge these divides. However\, with states facing pressure to obligate and deploy their initial funding\, the critical question has shifted from how much funding is available to how we maximize these investments to build a permanently connected\, resilient rural health ecosystem.\n\n\n\nSuccess requires moving beyond basic check-the-box compliance. It demands strategically aligning with emerging state-level priorities\, understanding the nuances of the RHTP funding guidelines\, and building the type of enabling infrastructure that actually changes daily clinical workflows on the ground.\n\n\n\nThis session examines what it takes to turn federal RHTP dollars into lasting clinical transformation. We will share emerging trends we are seeing across different state plans and dive into preliminary\, high-level survey results detailing how early subrecipients are mobilizing their awards. Our discussion will outline actionable recommendations on how to maximize investments in enabling technology\, accompanied by a deep dive into the specific interoperability frameworks that enable true\, cross-facility interpretability. We will walk through how these shared data channels empower both rural providers and patients with the transparent access and coordinated care they have historically lacked. \n\n\n\nThe session\, hosted by Elimu and BerryDunn\, closes with a critical roadmap for measuring and maximizing programmatic impact. Under RHTP\, the ultimate goal isn’t just implementing technology or expanding telehealth for its own sake—it is proving sustainable access\, lowering unnecessary costs\, and delivering clear\, reportable value metrics back to CMS. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the rural health landscape under this massive federal program\, a practical framework for utilizing enabling infrastructure in their own communities\, and the precise\, value-driven language needed to justify their RHTP initiatives to boards\, state agencies\, and CMS coordinators.
