Security & Data Protection: High Tech & High Touch
 
Threats to the privacy and security of patient information top the list of issues keeping the healthcare C-suite awake at night. Health systems are moving from the traditional reactive approach to data security strategy to a proactive one, embodied in a new C-suite title: the Chief Information Security Officer or CISO. CISOs are beginning to combine the heretofore split 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.

A Deeper Dive: Understanding the Emerging Hacker Threats
 
Recent developments, including the ransomware-based hijacking of the entire clinical information system architecture of a California hospital, are throwing a spotlight on the emerging, intensifying threat of direct hacks of EHR and HIS systems in hospitals and health systems. In this deeper-dive session, healthcare IT leaders will look at where the core threats are coming from and what CIOs, CISOs, and other healthcare IT senior leaders in patient care organizations need to do to protect their organizations, their patients, and the data of both.
 
Attendees will leave the session with a clearer understanding of the broader context of hacker threats in the current healthcare IT environment, and the issues that CIOs, CISOs, and other healthcare IT leaders need to address and tackle in order to withstand the growing wave of cybersecurity threats facing their organizations.

Interoperability in the Post-EHR era

The focus on team-based, coordinated care is impossible without the linchpin of IT interoperability. Health-system executives understand they are in the post-EHR era and  Several provider and vendor-driven interoperability initiatives are underway and the ONC has developed a 10-year Interoperability Roadmap. How do technical standards like HL7, SMART and FHIR shape the design of new platforms that make it possible to collect, store and access contextually relevant patient information across the community? This session will provide an up-to-the-minute snapshot of how leading health systems are blazing the interoperability trail and accelerating the arrival of seamless sharing of clinical and financial information.

Telehealth: New Platform for Population Health
 
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.
