Gettysburg, Pa. (December 27, 2021) — On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. CT, OPEN MINDS will present live, “Making The Right Technology Investments For Your Organization: An OPEN MINDS Executive Seminar Technology Strategy, Budgeting & Planning” This seminar will provide executives with the tools to develop a successful strategy plan to lead their organizations to sustainability in the “next normal” and will be led by OPEN MINDS Senior Associate, Sharon Hicks. This Executive Seminar will also be presented virtually on June 9, from 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. CT.

The landscape for specialty provider organizations has changed. When you are strategically developing a budget and planning for the future–while looking at the technology needs for your organization–you need the framework in how to do so. As Ms. Hicks’ remarks, “Technology will be the key to success in our COVID and post-COVID clinical service delivery market, but our track record in this area has been pretty dismal. Clinicians complain about electronic health record user experience, billing errors have increased, and interoperability that assists in quality treatment remains elusive. The only right technology is one that results in the flourishing of our organizations, but the process of selection is still confusing to many of us.”

So, as technology continues to take a more central role in the strategy development and sustainability for health and human service organizations, it brings new issues for executive teams to grapple with—What technology should we invest in to support the organization and deliver a competitive advantage? How much should we spend on technology infrastructure? And who is responsible for technology purchasing, implementation, and optimization?

These are big questions. The range of available technologies and tech-enabled functionality that shape and support strategy is large and growing rapidly. In this session, we will cover the biggest challenges facing executives as they lead their organization on the path to a tech-driven future, including:

• How to develop a technology strategy that aligns with your organization’s strategic plan.
• How to establish a technology budget that allows your organizations to meet its strategic goals.
• How to apply best practices in technology selection, implementation, and optimization.

Sharon Hicks has more than 30 years of experience in the health and human service field. She has extensive knowledge and a wide range of expertise in health plan management, clinical operations management, and technology.
