Panel: Provider-led Interoperability

Coordinated, accountable care is impossible without true semantic interoperability. Impatient with the slowness of proprietary EHR-vendors, health systems are increasingly adopting a proactive approach to interoperability. The ONC has developed a 10-year Interoperability Roadmap and several provider and vendor-driven interoperability initiatives are underway. Using technical standards like HL7, SMART and FHIR. This session will provide an up-to-the-minute snapshot of the post-EHR era and how advanced health systems are leading the way to interoperability.

Panel: Reforming Clinical Documentation for the New Era of Healthcare: HIM and HIT Working Together
 
Preparing for the emerging healthcare world of ever-more-rigorous coding requirements for reimbursement under value-based payment systems, clinical documentation is an area ripe for reform. In progressive patient care organizations, health information management (HIM) professionals, healthcare information technology (HIT) professionals, clinical informaticists, and physician and other clinician leaders are coming together to improve and streamline processes and clinical, particularly physician, documentation, itself. What are the discussions like that are leading to documentation reform and process improvement? And what advances are innovative patient care organizations making? This session will provide an overview of the issues and of the progress beginning to be made.

Panel - Transforming Security & Data Protection in Health Care
 
The 2015 high-profile hacking in healthcare was a wakeup call for most health systems. As a result they have not only doubled down on basic security strategies but shifting to more  proactive approaches including joining national information-sharing organizations like NH-ISAC and launching robust employee education programs that address the new challenges of security in the cloud, mobility and big data. The emergence of the Chief Information Security Officer or CISO in a way that integrates the traditionally separate functions of security and privacy signals this new attention.  This session will describe a multi-pronged approach to cybersecurity from the perspective of the CISO.

Panel - Integrated Data Strategies for Population Health Management
 
Managing population health requires an enormous change in scale from the traditional physician/patient encounter. To achieve this scale demands an industrial strength backbone built upon a foundational data warehouse that integrates financial and clinical information from disparate sources and a master patient index that reconciles that data.  This session will show how health systems can optimize their existing IT resources to perform in the era of population health.

Telehealth: A New Paradigm
 
Once consigned to the literal frontiers of healthcare, telehealth has become a strategic initiative for even the most urban academic medical centers aiming to become regional health systems. Managing population health will require increasing use of remote care and monitoring that rely on cloud-based, mobile telehealth solutions that have been shown to demonstrate significant cost avoidance while effectively engaging large populations.  This session will address the newly emerging telehealth paradigm that incorporates anytime, anywhere diagnostics and communications across the continuum of care using a new generation of wearables and smart appliances for keeping the patient in the home and out of the hospital.
