| 10:45 AM | What’s happening in medicine is absolutely amazing, but the problem is the business of healthcare is broken. We’ve gone from a business model in the 1950s that was straightforward and revolved around the patient and the doctor to something that is completely nonsensical and inconceivably complex - yet accepted as today’s dominant design. We argue pursuing this dominant design is like buying and installing a new and very expensive roof on a house with a broken foundation.
Join us as we explore a proven formula for healthcare enterprises to optimize time and value as a bridge from current reality to a new model of profitable, affordable, and accessible wellness and care delivery services and where everyone wins.

| 1:55 PM | The Indiana health information exchange (IHIE) and the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), has been guiding doctors in patient care for almost two decades. With Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a new and dynamic standard for accessing data in electronic health records (EHR), the INPC is bringing its utility to the next level. In a pilot project using SMART-on-FHIR technology, we are beginning to turn the INPC from data repository into a proactive assistant for emergency room physicians in Indiana. Focusing on managing chest pain patients in the emergency room, the new SMART app brings information from the INPC directly to the user at the point of care without forcing them to alter their workflow.
Join top researcher and expert Dr. Matthias Kochmann, as he highlights the use case for SMART on FHIR applications at Regenstrief, and tremendous potential for FHIR to aggregate information from different sources into a patient-centric electronic health record.

| 2:30 PM | To achieve the triple aim of improving patient outcomes, optimizing patient experience and reducing costs, the performance of a health system should be greater than the sum of its parts. This requires organizations to pursue the goals of coordination, collaboration, integration and productivity to maximize the performance of the “system of systems”.
The case for Systemness in healthcare is growing stronger as healthcare organizations constantly strive to achieve the highest level of performance in integrated care delivery and patient centricity. The focus on Systemness redefines organization benchmarks that require clinical staff to continuously unlearn and learn to keep pace with industry challenges. Systemness aims to eliminate functional barriers within organizations and enables them to operate as a single entity. This allows for organization goals to take precedence over individual team goals which is critical to keep pace with the dynamic nature of industry.
Join us to explore what are the major elements of Systemness, organization models & how IT plays a major role in helping organizations to achieve Systemness. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 8:45 AM | The May 2017 cybersecurity attack dubbed “WannaCry” grabbed storylines internationally and across the healthcare landscape as tens of thousands of hospitals, organizations, and agencies across 153 countries had their data held hostage.
The enhanced crypto-locking worm spread quickly, with a headliner target of the National Health Service (NHS) in Britain, which resulted in extended downtime, rescheduling of procedures, and in numerous cases preventing access to care for patients. The worm propagated and spread using a Microsoft platform vulnerability related to the Server Message Block protocol, which revealed many healthcare organizations’ weak points in the areas of security standards compliance, network structures, and disaster recovery protocols.
Whatsmore, an even more dangerous crypto-locking variant, Petya, spawned soon thereafter, devestating providers and vendors alike.
In this special panel discussion, Healthcare Informatics welcomes a panel of top security experts, as they recall and summarize the top lessons learned in security compliance and organizational frameworks behind the WannaCry and Petya attacks. Listen in as our panelists provide their perspectives, and delve into the nature of the attack—diagramming how this threat was uniquely dangerous for healthcare organizations, and why security compliance and protocols for disaster recovery allowed his organization and others to manage the situation quickly and effectively.

| 10:45 AM | Healthcare is suffering a crisis of trust right now - the challenges that security and privacy teams face often feel insurmountable. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics are often hailed as a technological panacea, the reality is that discussions of why these tools are valuable need to focus on how we can practically improve three key challenges today: disorganization, deleveraging, and demoralization. Only through tangibly connecting AI to the real-world challenges and opportunities within healthcare will we ever move from buzzwords to results.
First, we address how healthcare cybersecurity professionals are left with disorganized signals from the insufficiently-sophisticated technologies they use in the defense of their institutions. Second, we discuss the highly de-levered nature of the modern team, where security and privacy professionals are often stuck working on low-yield tasks. Finally, we address the cultural demoralization that occurs when skilled professionals are culturally undervalued and not made a strategic priority. Through applying a practical lens to these challenges, we see how advanced analytics can be used to fundamentally change this dynamic and empower a new frontier of cybersecurity technology in healthcare. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 1:30 PM | Over the course of the last twenty years, the computing giants that we know and love have lead healthcare informatics experts, policy makers, and IT decision makers into a vertically integrated ditch that keeps getting deeper. This talk will explore what this means for our businesses, our cybersecurity strategies, and the effort to modernize digital health.
We have all heard the pitch: “Move your data to the cloud; the cloud will help you improve the delivery of and quality of care.” We have all heard the value propositions: “The cloud makes data sharing and collaboration easier, it makes data continuity and storage automatic, and it can help improve data analysis.” However, is this really the case? Have companies, that once sold hardware and software, vertically integrated their services in order to grow their Healthcare IT businesses? This talk will explore the following topics with respect to cybersecurity:

| 2:10 PM | All hospital systems and networks - large and small - can be targets of cybercrime, yet, financial resources are declining and the pressures to increase efficiencies are top of mind. Creating a culture of cybersecurity in the workplace enables hospitals and medical centers to be resistant and resilient, and manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk across the enterprise. Our speaker will discuss:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2:55 PM | The concept of risk exposure in cybersecurity is an ever-evolving challenge. In a large-scale breach situation, the lines of liability can often be blurred providing providers to exposure to risk or legal entanglements depending on enterprise risk assessments and contract negotiations with vendor partners.
In this talk, hear from Health IT legal expert Gerard Nussbaum, as he reviews the top areas of consideration for legal risks and network risk assessment when partnering with new organizations. Listen in to hear legal considerations around patient privacy, network liability, patching, and other critical aspects of cybersecurity-- ultimately developing a strategy for contracting a win-win partnership with technology partners. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3:15 PM | Legacy systems, from medical devices, to electronic health records, to billing platforms, each pose a unique security threat if left untested as a potential threat for breach. There are the obvious security risks like Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) internet access, but what about additional legacy systems that will be unsupported is patched or upgraded beyond a certain point? One of the biggest influencing factors of the WannaCry ransomware outbreak of May 2017, was this concept of legacy systems remaining unpatched past Windows XP, which opened the door for an exploit and propagation of the virus on a grand scale.
In this engaging panel discussion, we visit with a panel of top security experts as they explore the commonalities and risks among legacy systems. Listen in as our panel defined which legacy systems are most at risk, which systems are commonly overlooked in evaluation, and what patching protocols are covered by existing vendor relationships.
