Olio's Engagement Summit to Revamp Care Coordination

In an effort to tackle one of the healthcare industry's most pressing issues, Olio, a rising star in care coordination, is set to hold its Care Coordination Engagement Summit. The event will bring together senior executives and leaders from various sectors within healthcare to address the critical need for improved care coordination across the continuum, especially within post-acute and behavioral health settings.

According to recent studies, more than 40% of hospital discharges transition to post-acute settings, presenting a challenge that has made care coordination essential yet challenging. Delays in patient placements and fragmented communication often lead to serious consequences, including preventable readmissions. These inefficiencies are exacerbated by a growing and aging population that is seeing increasing needs for care.

Furthermore, the global advisory firm EY forecasts a staggering 31% increase in post-acute volume between 2025 and 2035, driven by a significant rise in healthcare complexities. This surge not only strains existing systems but also highlights a concerning trend in mental health services, where nearly 48% of adults with mental illness did not receive treatment last year, according to SAMHSA. This creates an urgent need for effective integration and coordination within these two critical areas of healthcare.

The summit aims to address these challenges head-on by gathering insights from leaders in major health organizations, payers, post-acute networks, and behavioral health agencies. The event will foster meaningful discussions about innovative solutions that are working in select markets and will explore systemic improvements that can enhance care coordination efforts.

Ben Forrest, the CEO of Olio, emphasized the importance of collaboration in addressing care coordination issues. "No single organization can solve it alone. This summit is a unique opportunity to bring together leaders who face these challenges daily, to identify effective strategies that improve healthcare transitions and outcomes."

Key topics slated for discussion at the summit include:

• - Successful Approaches: Exploring breakthrough methods currently yielding positive results across various markets.
• - Integration Points: Identifying junctions that can catalyze systemic improvements necessary for enhanced coordination.
• - Effective Coordination: Investigating drivers that stimulate successful collaboration among care teams and organizations.
• - Innovative Technology and Processes: Examining new technologies and processes that can better align the priorities of competing entities across the healthcare continuum.

Following the summit, Olio plans to publish an industry report outlining findings and results from the discussions, serving as a resource for healthcare organizations seeking to enhance their care coordination capabilities.

Olio continues to lead in transforming post-acute and behavioral healthcare coordination. By addressing the gaps in technology that other platforms overlook, Olio is resolutely focused on maintaining sustained provider engagement. The platform works by connecting care teams—ranging from skilled nursing facilities to behavioral health providers—ensuring they remain engaged and informed, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and lower costs.
