Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership to host ‘BIG conversation’ on county’s future this February 🗣️👀 Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has announced details for this year’s flagship event, ‘Worcestershire: The BIG Conversation’.

Over the last two years, Blue Cross NC, led by our CEO, Tunde Sotunde, embarked on our Extra Miles Tour. This was an effort to get out of our offices, hit the road (we traveled more than 11,000 miles!) and #listen to the communities and people we #serve.   I’m proud to share with you Blue Cross NC's Extra Miles Tour report.   This was no ordinary listening tour. The conversations and experiences we had along the way are helping us think outside the box. We're exploring how we engage with the communities we serve and where there are new opportunities to convene and collaborate. This report outlines some of the key takeaways from our journey. The lessons and observations gathered here (plus the great ideas that we couldn’t share in such a limited space) are helping us create the roadmap for our work ahead and providing a better picture of where to focus resources and energies.   This report represents an important milestone, but it isn’t a wrap-up by any stretch of the imagination. It’s the first step in the next leg of our journey to make health care better for all. Stay tuned to see what's next! https://lnkd.in/dd4JZThf

Screenshot from a GWCN: Global Walkability Correspondents Network chapters meeting yesterday! GWCN is now 2 1/2 years old & is dedicated as a space for networking among people passionate about championing issue of #walkability. As a network, we also began supporting the development of local chapters & it is super exciting to see network members around the world take agency of a GWCN chapter in their community for diverse activities related to walking & walkability. Yesterday was typical of the geographic diversity we usually have at meetings (also being mindful of the time- 18.00 CET & that we cannot accommodate all time zones in one meeting, so have different meetings at different times each month to accommodate members in all world regions). Yesterday Cori Dahl shared updates from the chapter she leads- GWCN Chicago. She is also planning chapter summer activities & open to local collaborations so if you are working with, researching, advocating for issues of walkability (to include access to quality public transportation) in Chicago please feel free to connect. We also heard from both Omer KILIC, MSc & Ayse Umay Gezer who are both local city leaders in the national GWCN Turkey Chapter that Istanbul-based Merve Özhan leads. Vanny K Mwamba is fresh back in Ohio from his return to Congo & raised the ever-interesting question of how we adapt our advocacy to different areas, contexts, cultures & situation. 'Advocacy is a spectrum'. Also check out his profile for more on his recently released film 'Why We Walk'. Laura Walsh, ActiveScore AP shared (in most engaging narrative ways) the frustration & anger of fearing for our life as pedestrians that so many of us know, experience, have experienced- emotions that I think are also vital to share as part of advocacy Zvi Leve, MSc shared some interesting reflections on the state of underground space in Montréal & (like Laura) also sharing reflections on living #carfree for many many years & living the example that it can be done. 1st GWCN newsletter coming out next month:  Subscribe to the LinkedIn newsletter here:  https://lnkd.in/dwWFxmxQ Special Editions of the existing Pedestrian Space Newsletter will also be published focused exclusively on GWCN activities.

🌟 Reflections from #HPRISouth 🌟 This past week, the Asset Protection Unit, Inc. (APU) team immersed ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Miami Beach for the HPRI South #paymentintegrity conference. It was more than just an event; it was a melting pot of innovative ideas and forward-thinking individuals. 🔍 Key Takeaways: Enhancing Payer/Provider Dynamics: We delved deep into strategies for nurturing the payer-provider relationship, uncovering new ways to boost operational excellence and spur growth. Navigating Financial Challenges: The conversations around enabling Carriers to amplify claims revenue on tighter budgets were eye-opening. The consensus? Leveraging high ROI third-party solutions is not just beneficial; it's imperative. Fostering Transparency: We applauded the idea of creating a seamless flow of information between carriers, vendors, and providers. It's clear that transparency is the linchpin for improving outcomes across the board. 🌐 Let's Connect: But learning and discussions were only part of the journey. Networking was in full swing, with many of us forging lasting connections and friendships. Were you at #HPRISouth too? Let's connect and continue the conversation! 🍴 Miami Must-Do: And yes, when in Miami Beach, indulging in the local cuisine is a must. A special shoutout to Bella Cuba Restaurant – the Cuban Egg Roll is a game-changer! If you're ever in the area, it's a culinary experience not to be missed. 💡 We Want to Hear from You: What are your thoughts on enhancing payer-provider relationships? How do you navigate the challenges of increasing revenue with decreased budgets? Have you game planned 3rd party solutions aimed at high-volume/small dollar claims identification and recovery lately?
