3:30-4:45 PM Trisha Conway on: Healthy Operations à Successful Outcomes 
Does your practice operate in silos or circles? We often forget that each aspect of the office impacts the other in day-to-day office operations. From scheduling to accounts receivable, everything is connected. In this session, we will discuss the patient cycle through the office and how each department impacts the successful outcomes of both the patient and the practice. 3:30-4:45 PM Alison Conners on: Adding Revenue Without Adding Providers

At the foundation of great leadership is effective management-the ability to help employees reach their potential and contribute to your mission. This course examines effective practices for managing and supervising employees, including tools for setting expectations, managing conflict, inviting participation, providing feedback and making decisions.
Virginia medical practices should be aware of a number of employment law developments that likely escaped their notice during the COVID-19 pandemic. This session will review many of the federal and state law changes that have gone into effect since 2020. The session will include, among other topics, summaries of state wage and hour law, law relating to non-competes and other restrictive covenants, anti-discrimination law, and a discussion on telework best practices.
With an overview of diversity equity and inclusion, along with an in-depth discussion on gender identification, Dr. Marcelle and Joanne's session will lay the groundwork for unconscious bias and the impact it has on patient care. Attendees will leave equipped with practical tools they can use to interrupt unconscious bias.
In this session, Alison will explore ways to expand the revenue avenues of your practice. From MIPS and Employee Retention Credits, to bringing pathology in-house, from the CLIA license to the pathologists contract and all the practice workflows and logistical considerations in between, she will help you explore possible business opportunities to keep under consideration as you look to maximize the revenue in your own practices. Whether you want to put an in-house pharmacy into a large POL, find short term staffing solutions, or search for revenue cycle management option for your practice, Alison has a network of like-minded experts to call on so that when she is not familiar with something herself, she knows where to find someone who is. Join Alison for this interactive and dynamic, problem-solving session!
| 7:30-8:30 AM Breakfast 8:30-9:30 AM Vendor Thank You 9:00-10:15 AM Aledade's Expert Panelists on: Building on the Basics of Value-Based Care: Addressing Top Concerns This session is brought to you by Aledade.
The national shift from a fee-for-service system to one based on value is speeding up, leading community health centers to explore joining an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Too often, however, concerns about risk, practice readiness and limited resources get in the way of the multitude of benefits that would come from joining a physician-led ACO. Together, we will review the physician-led ACO model; explore the three most common concerns about joining an ACO; examine the benefits of joining an ACO for medical practices of all sizes and types; and consider how ACOs will shape the future of medicine for primary care and specialties. 10:15-10:30 AM Break 10:30-11:45 AM Aledade's Beau Boyd on: Protecting Primary Care: Practical Solutions to Address the Workforce Shortage This session is brought to you by Aledade.
Together, we'll discuss the primary care workforce shortage, its causes and its effects; Hear ideas from primary care organizations which will provide a resulting framework for examining the challenge; Learn real-life strategies and pilot programs implemented to help retain staff at practices and medical organizations and expand access to primary care in their region; Apply recommendations on how stakeholders can help ensure the future of primary care in America. 10:30-11:45 AM Benjamin Traynham, JD on: Clearing the Smoke: 2023 Medical and Retail Cannabis Update

The primary care workforce is on the front lines of the healthcare system and is essential to ensuring the public’s health. Primary care is the only component of our health care system where an increased supply is directly associated with better population health and more equitable outcomes. Despite this, under investment in primary care has been a chronic problem in America. Primary care is grappling with an acute workforce shortage, where not only primary care clinicians, but also clinical support staff, are in short supply.
