10:00 AM																Networking Break
10:45 AM																A Synaptic Knowledge Network for Rural Patient Centered Care In 2006, Tahoe Forest Hospital District designed and implemented an oncology program using telecommunications with the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center in Sacramento. The relationship with the UC Davis Cancer Care Network enabled local participation in daily virtual tumor boards, clinical trial enrollment, and quality assurance assistance. The result was that more rural patients were able to access top-quality cancer care. In 2013, the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center developed four new remote telemedicine clinics to allow even more distant patients to be cared for by the physicians at the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center. This was a great benefit to patients living in remote areas, providing them with better care. Dr. Heifetz will share how this network of care reduces cancer care disparities in rural communities and can be scaled in many configurations to address the problems of reduced access to care nationwide. Speaker: Laurence Heifetz, Medical Director, Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center
11:05 AM																Advancing Your Telehealth Strategy to Deliver Value-Based Care, Better Serve At-Risk Populations and Increase Efficiency Telehealth solutions are rapidly advancing and provide tremendous opportunities for providers to deliver care in a way they never have before. As legislative hurdles are crossed and new technology emerges more providers are using telehealth solutions in their population health strategies, to create new lines of service, provide value-based care and increase the number of patients they are able to serve. Panelists will share how they use telehealth solutions in their systems, how they implemented the solutions, the opportunities they see for growth and what you need to know to improve your telehealth strategy. Topics include: How to overcome reimbursement, legislative and technological barriers to telehealth adoption Tips for building a care culture that maintains positive patient/provider relationships and crates better quality of life for patients How they are using telehealth solutions to fulfill value-based care initiatives and create opportunities for physicians to care for more patients Investment strategies for telehealth technology and how investment in telehealth solutions allow providers to meet the consumerization demands of healthcare Speakers: Daria Byrne, Vice President, Product Management, PeraHealth Laurence Heifetz, Medical Director, Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center Mark Hagland, Editor-in-Chief, Healthcare Innovation Chuck Podesta, Chief Information Officer, UC Irvine Health
12:15 PM																Are You Making Too Many Left Turns? Recognizing that the healthcare industry is unique in many ways, are there lessons to learn from other industries?

This session explores the world of online shopping and delivery service to find opportunities to optimize healthcare delivery in the U.S. as we move towards value-based care. Speaker: KC Mitchell, MD, Chief Product Officer, 3M Life Sciences
12:35 PM																Networking Lunch
1:10 PM																Improving Pediatric Safety Through EHRs Electronic Health Records have become common features in hospitals and offices. However, despite the notion that they will make care safer, many providers and patients have experienced that they have brought more work, less personal interaction, and unfortunately little improvements in safety and quality. Dr. Lehmann will discuss his twenty year experience in making EHRs safer in children through clinical decision support in medication management and other areas. He will also discuss costs savings and improved outcomes through modification and improvements in EHRs. Speaker: Christoph Lehmann, Professor for Pediatrics and Biomedical Informatics, Vanderbilt University
1:30 PM																The Changing Face of Health IT EHRs are limited when working with home health care, care coordinators, and the myriad of consumer health devices that are avilable to patients.

Speaker: Mark Frisse, Professor, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
2:00 PM																Networking Break
2:15 PM																What if Steve Jobs was your hospital CIO? The ongoing consumerization of healthcare and the embrace of technology are inevitable, so what does the healthcare industry look like in 10 years? If we learn from the consumer experience in other industries, we have the opportunity to shape that transformation in healthcare. The move to value-based care has opened the door for a visionary approach that builds on the best of the industry, rather than reacting to customer demands and creating a siloed patchwork of technologies. Speaker: David Sawin, Vice President, MobileSmith
2:35 PM																Driving Population Health Management Through Patient Engagement Tahoe Forest Health System's (TFHS) award-winning blue:life application is a comprehensive wellness program that was created for the employees and dependents of TFHS, but aims to move beyond the employee base to the overall community. blue:life allows TFHS to focus on the self-insured employee population with the ultimate goal of putting in place a population health programs that can scale out to large communities and beyond.

3:15 PM																Networking Break
3:30 PM																Creating a Healthier Health System through Customized Data and Analytics Tools Redesigning care delivery to achieve operational and clinical excellence is a universal expectation of health care systems today. Management of operational, financial and clinical data to focus these efforts is daunting, but key to identifying and implementing process improvement opportunities. Even more important is the use of data to monitor and sustain achieved results especially as organizations work with a myriad of data sources that often seem conflicting. KPMG has developed a comprehensive data model and analytics tool to support the needs of large complex health systems in the management and analysis of clinical and operational data. The collaboration between The Health system and consultancy has resulted in an extensible common data model that can be used throughout the system, standardized quality control and validation tools to quickly assess quality, completeness and content of data submissions, incorporated industry and custom benchmarks, and provided data tuning to speed up queries. The completed tool contains dozens of standard dashboards to support identified common clinical and operational analyses, incorporating dynamic filtering capabilities into the development and creation of client deliverables, and developed advanced statistical models to identify cause and effect patterns of variability and opportunity in the clinical data. There are over a hundred key metrics available to support analysis and visualization, over two hundred clinical and financial data elements leveraged, millions of benchmark data points, and multiple analytics algorithms that support identification variability and improvement opportunities. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of: Understand the elements of a successful data model and data analytics tool Explore a standard set of analytics dashboards that identify opportunities to benchmark practices and outcomes in a linear, sequential manner Outline governance procedures, analytics structures, and resources to sustain a successful clinical analytics program Speakers: Larry Burnett, Principal, KPMG, LLP Bharat Rao, Principal, Advisory, KPMG, LLP
