SUMMARY:Implementing Trauma-Informed Care At Scale: Lessons From RWJBarnabas Health
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nMany provider organizations struggle to effectively serve individuals with high rates of traumatic life experiences. Traditional\, compliance-driven cultures often misinterpret trauma-related behaviors\, leading to overreliance on restrictive interventions such as physical restraints and increasing risk for both consumers and staff. \n\n\n\nTrauma-informed care (TIC) offers a different approach. By recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and aligning care delivery to meet consumers where they are\, organizations can reduce re-traumatization\, improve safety\, strengthen outcomes\, and support workforce well-being. \n\n\n\nIn this one-hour live presentation\, Nicole Powasnick\, Chief Nursing Officer of RWJBarnabas Health Behavioral Health Center and Vice President of Clinical Operations for the Behavioral Health Service Line at RWJBarnabas Health\, and John P. Engel\, Associate Director of the Traumatic Stress Institute of Klingberg Family Centers\, Inc\, will share how their organizations partnered to implement the Risking Connection® Change Model (RCCM) across behavioral health units and emergency departments at eight RWJBH sites. \n\n\n\nThe speakers will outline how this model leveraged leadership engagement\, staff training\, and a train-the-trainer approach to build a culture of trust and safety\, increase workforce engagement\, and reduce workplace violence. \n\n\n\nWhat This Case Study Explores \n\n\n\nThis session examines a practical framework for understanding and responding to trauma in clinical settings\, including: \n\n\n\n\nHow individual and organizational responses can mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue\n\n\n\nHow TIC serves as a strategic investment in long-term organizational performance\, workforce stability\, and care quality\n\n\n\nHow the RCCM model and partnership provide a replicable roadmap for reducing harm and promoting healing across complex behavioral health systems\n\n\n\n\nWhat Executive Attendees Will Learn \n\n\n\n\nLeadership approaches to drive system-wide adoption and sustain trauma-informed practices across complex care environments\n\n\n\nThe core components for implementing RCCM across behavioral health service lines and emergency departments\n\n\n\nStrategies to build safety and trust\, increase workforce engagement\, and reduce workplace violence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Featured Speakers \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicole Powasnick\, MSN\, RN\, NEA-BC\, CEN \n\n\n\nChief Nursing Officer of RWJBarnabas Health Behavioral Health Center & Vice President of Clinical Operations for the Behavioral Health Service Line at RWJBarnabas Health \n\n\n\nIn her dual role\, Ms. Powasnick provides strategic and operational oversight across the continuum of care. She leads with a deep commitment to compassionate\, patient-centered care and is recognized for improving patient experience through strong interdisciplinary collaboration and clinical leadership. Holding a Master of Science in Nursing\, Ms. Powasnick is board certified as a Nurse Executive Advanced (NEA-BC) and a Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN).

SUMMARY:In The AI Age\, How Do Consumers & Clinicians Get The “Right” Information:  Using An AI-Enabled Answer Engine & Why You Need One
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nWe are living in a time where consumers\, caregivers\, employees\, and community partners can get answers to their questions with the click of a button – without ever going to a web site or reading an article. In fact\, Google’s search processes over 1 billion health-related questions every day\, a significant portion of which trigger AI-generated summaries.But the answers provided by the most common searches – Google\, ChatGPT\, Claude – are often not accurate and don’t provide a full range of options and risks. So when your consumers and your clinicians are looking answers to questions – the right diagnosis\, the right treatment plan\, the right medication – how do you assure they are getting the right information?   Using new technology – a hybrid enterprise answer engine – is a possible solution. For more on this new technology and how health and human service organizations can use it to assure their consumers and staff are getting information from trusted sources\, join Monica Oss\, Chief Executive Officer\, and Jeff Hornberger\, Senior Associate at OPEN MINDS and expert in generative and applied AI\, for an in-depth session building a convenient and curated information source.  \n\n\n\nThis Session Will Cover: \n\n\n\n\nThe role of hybrid enterprise answer engines in the world of AI-enabled search\n\n\n\nHow to set up your organization’s information services for consumers\n\n\n\nThe best practices in hybrid AI-search tools for clinical staff from information sources to regulatory requirements and HIPAA\n\n\n\n\nIntroducing Pyxida: \n\n\n\nPyxida is OPEN MINDS Curated AI-Powered Insight Engine that provides your staff with the information they need and want – from OPEN MINDS selected sources.

SUMMARY:Inside The Psychological Patient Journey: What The Research Reveals About Why People Delay Care — & What Happens When Access Is Built Around It
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nEvery year\, millions of people begin the search for care—but many never reach treatment. Despite significant investments in websites\, contact centers\, digital engagement\, and staff training\, provider organizations continue to lose prospective patients and families during the earliest stages of the care journey. The challenge is rarely a lack of clinical expertise. More often\, it is that traditional access models were designed around organizational workflows rather than the way people actually make decisions during moments of uncertainty\, fear\, urgency\, and hope. \n\n\n\nToday\, artificial intelligence is making it possible to rethink that model. \n\n\n\nGrounded in the science behind the Psychological Patient Journey—a framework that explains how individuals\, parents\, and caregivers move from recognizing a need for help to taking action—the Access AI platform was designed to operationalize evidence-based access practices in ways that were previously impossible to deliver consistently or at scale. Rather than replacing the human connection\, AI can strengthen it by helping organizations engage people earlier\, respond more consistently\, support staff more effectively\, and guide more individuals successfully into care. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, attendees will explore how leading provider organizations are combining behavioral science\, operational redesign\, and artificial intelligence to create a new front door to care. The discussion will examine how the Psychological Patient Journey informed the development of the Access AI platform\, including intelligent web engagement\, AI-powered voice interactions\, and technologies that support staff during the most critical moments of the access journey. A provider organization will share its implementation experience\, including operational lessons learned\, organizational change strategies\, and measurable improvements in patient access and engagement. \n\n\n\nThe session concludes with the introduction of Live Call Guidance powered by HeadsUp™\, the newest capability within the Access AI platform. Built on the same evidence-based principles\, Live Call Guidance provides real-time support during admissions conversations\, helping organizations deliver more consistent\, confident\, and compassionate interactions during the moments that most influence whether someone ultimately reaches care. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn: \n\n\n\n\nHow Live Call Guidance powered by HeadsUp™ extends the Access AI platform by supporting admissions professionals during the conversations that matter most\n\n\n\n\n\nHow the Psychological Patient Journey explains why many individuals and families disengage before treatment begins\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy AI enables evidence-based access practices to be delivered consistently and at enterprise scale\n\n\n\n\n\nHow leading provider organizations are using the Access AI platform to improve patient engagement\, operational performance\, and access to care\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical lessons for implementing AI across web\, voice\, and admissions workflows\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Featured Speakers \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobert M.

SUMMARY:Avoiding Data Overload: The Rappahannock Area Community Services Board Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nMost executive teams recognize that data is essential for managing organizational performance. But in the effort to become more data driven\, many organizations end up measuring everything instead of measuring what matters.  \n\n\n\nTracking hundreds of metrics without a clear purpose can overwhelm executive teams and frontline staff\, slow decision-making\, and obscure the insights that drive better performance. Effective performance management requires a measurement strategy that aligns data with organizational priorities\, establishes accountability\, and turns information into action.  \n\n\n\nIn this one-hour live presentation\, Brandie D. Williams\, Deputy Executive Director at Rappahannock Area Community Services Board\, will share practical strategies for simplifying dashboards\, reducing unnecessary reporting\, and building focused measurement systems that improve organizational performance and service delivery.  \n\n\n\nDrawing from Rappahannock Area Community Services Board’s experience\, Ms. Williams will demonstrate how organizations can align performance metrics with strategic priorities while avoiding the four common risks of data overload: information fatigue\, analysis paralysis\, conflicting metrics\, and unnecessary administrative burden.  \n\n\n\nWhat This Case Study Explores  \n\n\n\n\nHow organizations can build intentional\, strategic approaches to performance measurement that focus on value rather than volume \n\n\n\nHow to eliminate reporting that adds administrative burden without improving decision-making or outcomes \n\n\n\nHow to identify the performance indicators that matter most for organizational success and high-quality care delivery \n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives  \n\n\n\n\nEvaluate existing organizational metrics to determine whether they align with strategic goals and support actionable decision making \n\n\n\nDifferentiate reporting needs across stakeholder groups\, including boards\, executive leadership\, program leaders\, and frontline staff \n\n\n\nApply practical strategies to streamline dashboards and reduce unnecessary data collection while maintaining accountability and quality outcomes \n\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the OPEN MINDS CFO Consortium\, developed to provide executives with the tools and capabilities to strategically assess and position their organizations for long-term sustainability and growth. The consortium is open to all paid members. To learn more and sign up\, visit https://openminds.com/open-minds-cfo-consortium/. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Featured Speakers \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrandie D.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO): Building A Digital Presence That AI Can Find\, Trust & Recommend
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nMost provider organization executives understand that a strong website and search engine optimization (SEO) are essential for attracting referrals. But the way consumers\, referral sources\, and even health plans discover provider organizations is changing. Instead of browsing search results\, they ask search tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) where they should go for care.  \n\n\n\nThese AI systems evaluate organizations’ online information and give users natural language recommendations. As a result\, organizations that are good at traditional SEO may become far less visible if their digital presence is not optimized for AI. For executive teams\, this directly affects referral generation\, market positioning\, consumer trust\, and long-term growth.   \n\n\n\nIn this one-hour live presentation\, Rachel Steinmetz\, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at OPEN MINDS\, will present a practical framework for evaluating and improving an organization’s artificial intelligence optimization (AIO) strategy.  \n\n\n\nWhat This Presentation Explores  \n\n\n\nUsing real-world examples and practical implementation guidance\, the session will outline:  \n\n\n\n\nHow search is evolving beyond traditional SEO \n\n\n\nThe complementary roles of generative engine optimization (GEO)\, answer engine optimization (AEO)\, and AIO \n\n\n\nStrengthening an organization’s digital footprint so AI systems can more easily find\, interpret\, trust\, and recommend services \n\n\n\n\nWhat Executive Attendees Will Learn  \n\n\n\nThis session examines the operational and strategic changes organizations should make to improve AI visibility\, including:   \n\n\n\n\nHow AI search differs from traditional search engines and why digital visibility now extends beyond keyword rankings \n\n\n\nHow website content\, business listings\, reviews\, social media\, and overall digital consistency influence whether AI systems recommend an organization \n\n\n\nA practical roadmap for evolving an existing SEO strategy into an integrated SEO\, GEO\, AEO\, and AIO approach that supports long-term referral growth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Featured Speakers \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Steinmetz \n\n\n\nExecutive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer\, OPEN MINDS \n\n\n\nRachel Steinmetz brings broad experience in the health and human service field to the OPEN MINDS team.

SUMMARY:A Scalable Model For Improved Consumer Engagement: The El Futuro Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Meet Our Team\n\n\n\n\nDespite expanded access to behavioral health services\, many provider organizations and health plans continue to struggle with low engagement\, poor retention\, and inconsistent outcomes among underserved populations. Traditional clinic-based and referral-driven models often fail to address barriers related to trust\, cultural responsiveness\, and timely access to care\, contributing to higher acuity and greater utilization of high-cost services.  \n\n\n\nIn this one-hour live presentation\, Maria Jones\, Director of Client Care and Engagement\, and Luke Smith\, M.D.\, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of El Futuro\, Inc.\, will share how their organization implemented the Strong Minds\, Strong Communities (SMSC) model\, a scalable approach to improving engagement\, retention\, and clinical outcomes among Latino populations.  \n\n\n\nThe SMSC model combines community-based outreach\, culturally responsive services\, and bilingual clinical care to strengthen access\, build trust\, and improve continuity of care. The speakers will discuss how this approach has helped El Futuro engage consumers earlier in the treatment journey while supporting long-term organizational sustainability.  \n\n\n\nWhat This Case Study Explores \n\n\n\n\nThe operational components of the SMSC model\, including workforce design\, community partnerships\, and workflows that support earlier identification and sustained engagement in care \n\n\n\nPerformance measures associated with the model\, including engagement\, retention\, and clinical outcomes\, and how these metrics align with value-based care priorities\, quality performance\, and total cost of care \n\n\n\nImplementation and scaling considerations for sustaining community-based behavioral health models beyond pilot funding \n\n\n\n\nWhat Executive Attendees Will Learn  \n\n\n\n\nHow to analyze the limitations of traditional behavioral health delivery models in engaging underserved populations and their impact on cost and quality performance \n\n\n\nHow to examine the core components of a structured engagement and care model designed to improve access\, retention\, and clinical outcomes in Latino communities \n\n\n\nImplementation and scaling considerations for integrating community-based behavioral health models into value-based care strategies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Featured Speakers \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaria Jones \n\n\n\nDirector of Client Care & Engagement\, El Futuro \n\n\n\nMaria Jones is Director of Client Care and Engagement at El Futuro\, a leading Latino-serving behavioral health organization in North Carolina.
