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 2016 and beyond.

A continual challenge for healthcare providers is overcoming the fragmentation of data between EHRs and the lack of interoperability to support engagement and management across the patient care team.  Join us to discover how leading healthcare organizations around the globe use successful interoperability to engage patients, enhance care management, and transform the way they deliver care.  Hear success stories about how these organizations are forging new and different levels of care management to improve the patient experience of care and outcomes.

 

1. How does the lack of true interoperability impact the healthcare delivery system?
2. How significant are the technical, financial and legal barriers to interoperability?
3. What game-changing solutions and concepts are available today?

 

Health care providers must synthesize data to provide care to their patients. The amount and complexity of the data already overwhelms human cognitive capacity contributing in part to the unexplained variability in health outcomes. Precision medicine, while offering the promise of improved individual outcomes, has the  potential to substantially increase the amount of data needed for clinical decision making thus exacerbating the problem. Information technology has been proposed as a solution to this problem. However, this can only be accomplished if the technology is intelligently designed and implemented using input from the end users and employing the best practices of quality improvement and implementation science. In this presentation, Dr. Williams will give an overview of precision medicine and present innovative health IT solutions based on the experience of Geisinger Health System’s efforts to implement precision medicine to improve outcomes and lower costs.

In the current healthcare environment, most organizations are trying to determine how to make better use of data and analytics to lower cost, improve quality, assess risk, and better manage patient populations. Panelists will discuss strategies to improve outcomes and coordination of care with analytics; explore how to use data analytics and population health management tools to deliver positive ROI; and develop a strategy to coordinate care with patient data across acute and ambulatory care settings for PHM.

 

 

Healthcare providers, payers and technology companies have pursued performance improvement
initiatives to achieve greater efficiency, equity, effectiveness, safety and coordination for decades.
While some progress has been made, many observers agree that these efforts are too hard, often
fall short and frequently are not sustained over time. The recent emphasis on “transforming”
healthcare has only made it more apparent that something much deeper is at work here.
Based on our extensive work and the available data, we believe that organizational culture is a
major root cause of this phenomena. None of these initiatives will be highly successful or
sustainable without promoting a dynamic, innovative, high-performance organizational culture.
Much like a computer's operating system (OS) which controls all hardware and software, an
organization's culture is the "behavioral OS" that promotes or restrains all strategy deployment
and initiative execution.

In this participative and highly-engaging conversation, the speakers will draw upon their empirical
research involving 650 organizational cultures, 680 innovation teams, and 34,000 senior leaders to
cut through the many myths surrounding organizational culture and present the most direct path
forward for those seeking to shape innovative, performance cultures that thrive in uncertain times.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how their organization’s cultural “operating
system” works and identify practical, actionable next steps to “optimize their OS”.
