Take this opportunity to mingle with your peers in an intimate setting to build relationships and establish future partnerships. Make sure to stop by the vendor booths to learn which solutions can provide better care and service in 2016 and beyond.

The issue of privacy and security of patient information is keeping healthcare CEOs and CIOs awake at night. Threats to data security are driving health systems to move from a traditional reactive approach to a proactive one, embodied in a new C-suite title: the Chief Information Security Officer or CISO. Many CISOs are combining the traditionally separate functions of security and privacy, balancing technology analytics, mobile and medical device initiatives with people-oriented approaches like employee education. This session will describe a multi-pronged approach to cybersecurity that engages the entire health system ranging from IT firewalls to third-party security services and workforce education.

Telehealth has not only matured in recent years, it’s also become integral to care and wellness for managing population health across regions and the community. New cloud-based, mobile telehealth solutions are emerging that integrate the data across the continuum using diagnostic quality input from acute-care devices, high-resolution imaging, secure video conferencing and simultaneous health-data streaming—all in a portable tablet. This session will address the newly emerging telehealth paradigm that incorporates anytime, anywhere diagnostics and communications across the continuum of care.

Health systems are awash in data but often unable to make it meaningful and useful, a challenge exponentially harder under value-based care. How do you address the key questions of data: What is occurring in your population? What do you predict will occur in that population? What will you do about it? This session will address how to make data analytics work, ultimately improving outcomes by integrating the results of data analysis into the clinical workflow.

Enterprise data warehouses (EDWs), analytics for population health, digital images and genomic data are foundational data components of value-based healthcare. Data mining is central to making predictive analytics—both retrospective and at the point of care—work for predicting clinical outcomes, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment and cost. This session will discuss the importance of data mining in coordinated, accountable care and the various strategies and techniques such as data visualization that leading health systems are employing in this area.

Take this opportunity to mingle with your peers in an intimate setting to build relationships and establish future partnerships.  Refreshments & snacks will be served on the exhibit floor so make sure to stop by the vendor booths to learn which solutions can provide better care and service in 2013 and beyond.

 

 

A funny thing happened on the way to value-based care: health information exchanges (HIEs) began to achieve demonstrated savings from long-promised benefits like prevention of duplicate patient tests. What is the status of HIEs across the country? How do state and other public HIEs compare in performance to private HIEs? What does this mean for interoperability?  This session will update attendees on HIE-performance, examine both federated and centralized models and show how successful HIEs can play a role in emerging value-based care.
