| 8:45 AM | The next big thing. Often described as transformational, disruptive, and groundbreaking—the next big thing in the year 2017 within healthcare is clearly artificial intelligence (AI). But what practical impacts can the AI of today have on the healthcare environment, especially when integrated with virtual reality (VR) simulations that include Virtual Humans?
“Siri”-like AI has found a profound niche already within the lives of patients and providers alike, as AI can remind a patient to fill a prescription, help a patient book a checkup, remind a nurse to turn a patient to prevent pressure ulcers, and a host of other actions. How will this impact healthcare when AI is embodied in a virtual human form that can appear on your mobile device or within an augmented or virtual reality simulation? Join AI researcher and internationally recognized VR expert, Dr. Skip Rizzo, as he discusses recent R&D using AI-driven virtual human programs, and why its potential may be truly limitless in delivering value to patients. He will discuss the use of AI virtual humans that serve in the role as “Virtual Patients” for clinical training of healthcare providers and as online healthcare guides for breaking down barriers to care in resistant populations. Research on virtual human applications for training social skills in persons on the autism spectrum and as clinical interviewer’s for patient screening will also be presented. Such projects have been developed at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies, and the talk will provide a brief overview of how AI and virtual reality is being used to foster credible human interaction with a virtual human in the healthcare context. Listen and debate the latest use cases, ethical dilemmas that must be considered, and what CIOs and IT leadership need to know in applying effective AI VR to their care environments.

| 11:50 AM | Respected research firm Gartner predicts The Internet of Things (IoT) will have an installed base of more than 20 billion units by 2020. And “Things” on the healthcare delivery organization (HDO) network will eventually outnumber other network-attached computing devices, such as PCs, servers, digital signage and mobile devices, combined.
In our homes, IoT can improve our interaction with every-day things like lights and thermostats. But the real value is in the data enabled by IoT technologies. For example, it is becoming clear there is significant promise for patient care by collecting clinical data in new ways, times, and places. But what if the “Thing” in IoT could be the hospital itself, rather than a smart wearable, or smart light? With that perspective, what could we learn and improve using data from the building, what would be required to collect all this data, and critically – would it be cost prohibitive? This presentation seeks to provide a new perspective on what IoT can be for healthcare delivery organizations, and how hospitals can obtain data about their operations that was never before possible.

| 12:10 PM |
The healthcare industry is in the midst of a major transformation to value-based care. In a 2017 Chilmark Research report found the number of accountable care organizations (ACOs) has grown 13-15 percent in each of the last two years and there are now more than 935 ACOs covering approximately 10 percent of Americans. Early results indicate value-based care is working as intended to improve the quality and costs of healthcare. Some of the many examples are:
At the heart of these success stories are advanced analytics platforms that integrate claims, clinical, lab, pharmacy and wearables data and apply predictive analytics to create one comprehensive profile of each patient. Join Mark A. Caron, as he discusses real-world examples of how health plans, physicians and others are leveraging advanced analytics to fuel the transition to value. Speaker:

| 3:10 PM | According to an August 2016 Kaiser Health News report, rehospitalization rates hit a new record high. The report concluded that the government will punish more than half of the nation's hospitals for patients returning for care within a month. Whatsmore, Medicare was planning to withhold approximately $528 million in 2016, an increase of $108 million more than 2015 totals. For some providers, the sky was unofficially falling. As per most government standards for healthcare, the riddle of readmissions can be solved with one all powerful resource-- an organization's data.
Join our diverse panel of experts in an engaging discussion centered around the Avoidable Readmissions Reduction Program (ARRP). Listen in as our group brings together the threads of quality, IT, and data analysis and reviews top tactics to preventing avoidable readmissions, and how they keep their organizations out of the penalty business.

| 8:05 AM | Healthcare networks among large-scale complex user groups can make monitoring and mitigating abnormal activity a monumental challenge for security teams. Networks are increasingly multifaceted and often do not have the same controls on every point of entry or egress in research and academic medical centers which increases the risk of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of healthcare data. The business case and demand for access has never been greater as well as the requirement to support and connect multiple clinical and patient care devices, yet the need for implementing controls on the network and effective monitoring is critical and often difficult to complete-- a CISO's continuous paradox.
In this session, join top educator and Chief Information Security Officer, Cris V. Ewell, as he shares the top challenges that keep him up at night amidst a massive and ever-increasing amount of attacks on network devices and users. Explore the critical principles to safeguarding large-scale networks and the processes that have prevented potential intrusions--ensuring patient data is safeguarded. Keynote speaker: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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.
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 following the WannaCry and NotPetya 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.

| 1:05 PM | Medical devices are increasing in software and network connectivity dependency at a rapid pace --- and with the benefits of software and connectivity come vulnerabilities and exposure. From default passwords, to outdated software, to wireless issues, many connected medical devices are not worthy of the trust we or patients put in them. How can we all move forward, together, to ensure patient safety?
In this interactive session, Adam Brand, a medical device security specialist and volunteer with a grassroots organization called I Am The Cavalry, will review medical device security past, potential future, and current state. Learn about the past five years of security research into medical device vulnerabilities, including the results of a honeypot experiment where devices simulating medical devices were placed on the Internet. Consider what the future may hold should we not act now, through a review of potential risk areas and the results of some recent medical simulations and wargames. Finally, learn what concrete steps healthcare organizations are taking today to address this risk.
