Mike Mulligan will be hosting the “Targeting your Rural Health Message for Maximum Results” webinar presented in partnership with the National Rural Health Association. Join him as he addresses how the pressure is on to produce rapid revenue-driving results. But in the rush to rebound, it’s imperative that speed does not overtake strategy. The right strategy will allow you to increase volume and revenue within your existing budget.

This isn’t conjecture or hype. It’s fact – based on the proven planning process he will share in this upcoming NRHA webinar. The webinar will dive into the details of how to:

• Conduct the communications planning process and who to engage in it.
• Form measurable business and communications goals.
• Create a plan that drives strategy.
• Prioritize service lines using the 60-30-10 rule.
• Measure the effectiveness of your communications efforts.

On behalf of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, Inc. (HIMSS), a global advisor and thought leader supporting the transformation of the health ecosystem through information and technology, and our partner Reach, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit global social impact organization, you, or a designee, are invited to participate in a unique virtual briefing about the use of health information and technology to combat the maternal mortality crisis in the U.S. The event is Thursday, March 18, 1:00-2:30 pm eastern time. 

Why should you attend?

Nearly 75% of maternal death and injury in the United States is preventable. Yet, the rates of mortality and morbidity are increasing in the United States. In fact, among all developed countries, the U.S. has the highest fatality rates due to pregnancy complications. Data from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and March of Dimes has shown that delays in seeking care, lack of transportation, delays in diagnosing, misdiagnosis, and treatment delays are the top preventable factors. Further, studies have shown the pandemic has exacerbated these situations.

States with the Highest Rates (World Population Review 2020)

1. Louisiana
2. Georgia
3. Indiana
4. New Jersey
5. Arkansas
6. Alabama
7. Missouri
8. Texas
9. South Carolina
10. Arizona

HIMSS and Reach, through national advocacy and the work of state chapters, pledge to diligently work with state, local, and tribal agencies in the ten states above to tackle the maternal mortality crisis. Your participation as a public health/healthcare IT leader also supports the HIMSS’ Global Health Equality Network (GHEN) and Accelerate Health’s Global Maternal Health Tech Challenge. The Maternal Tech Challenge is bringing together innovators, patient advocates, government, payers, providers, and the community to crowdsource solutions to this significant crisis and to serve as the vehicle to address underserved communities and improve health and healthcare for all populations. With your assistance, HIMSS and Reach will explore current state policy research and technology adoption for opportunities to secure women’s health and safety during the prenatal and postpartum periods. This meeting will also seek to raise awareness about the National Save Moms Campaign and the National Remote Maternal Health Monitoring Demonstration Project, which supports those states that are willing to adopt digital health technology to improve maternal health and wellness. 

If you have any questions or for more information, please feel free to contact Valerie.Rogers@himss.org.
