As real-time data sharing becomes essential for care coordination, prior authorizations, and value-based care, hospitals and health systems face growing pressure to exchange sensitive information quickly—without compromising security. This session will explore how provider organizations can balance the need for timely data access with robust cybersecurity strategies. Learn practical approaches to mitigate risk, protect patient information, and build the infrastructure needed for secure, compliant data sharing across systems and partners.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand key risks associated with real-time data sharing and learn strategies to safeguard PHI while supporting operational and clinical needs.
• Explore best practices for access controls, vendor oversight, encryption, and audit readiness to enable safe data sharing across health systems, payers, and partners.

Accurate risk adjustment coding is a cornerstone of effective payment integrity, directly impacting reimbursement accuracy and audit risk. This session will explore how health plans can strengthen HCC coding through targeted audits, technology solutions, and coder education—ensuring proper risk score capture, reducing payment errors, and supporting defensible, compliant payment practices.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand common sources of coding errors and how to use audit findings, coder education, and feedback loops to strengthen HCC coding precision and reduce payment risk.
• Explore how strong auditing practices, clear documentation standards, and focused coder training can help health plans identify gaps, improve coding accuracy, and ensure compliance across payment integrity programs.
