Analytics tools provide us with unlimited potential to generate insights in the health of our populations and create more opportunities to deliver value-based care. The true winners of the population health movement will be those providers who clearly aggregate their data to improve medical knowledge at the point of care, but also contribute to revolutionary research-driven breakthroughs. Don't miss this engaging presentation on the use of informatics and expansive data sets to propel us into the golden age of research, as healthcare shifts from evidence-based practice to practice-based medicine. Panelists will discuss tools and techniques they are using to collect data, create actionable intelligence to identify at-risk populations and improve patient outcomes. Topics include:

As the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continues an aggressive push to drive forward to mandatory bundled payments and capitation, IT's evolution is now a mandated regulation in the transition to a learning healthcare system. With MACRA's deadline of January 1, 2017, the first year of provider reporting is already underway. Beyond this, mandatory bundled payments are visible on the horizon as the "Post-EHR" era progresses forward, with the bar being set high by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) as it relates to interoperability, reporting to present value of care, and to becoming an enterprise that is prepared for the next generation of healthcare.

 

In this session, join our expert presenters as we explore the intricacies of these policies, with a specific focus on MACRA and bundled payments, and how HIT leadership must position themselves and their organizations to receive the highest possible reimbursement-- contributing to a higher quality of care.

 

Panelists:

 

 

Speaker:

• 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

Brian Wells has a long standing passion for engaging patients in their own healthcare as a means of significantly improving outcomes and reducing risks. Whether focused on preparation for surgery or compliance with chronic disease management, making it easy for providers to supply patients with simple to use mobile applications that are tailored to their needs is becoming a new requirement. Brian will discuss the challenges related to building meaningful patient engagement tools and briefly review several solutions. 

 

 

 

Join the HealthShare Exchange team for an innovative illustration of how access to interoperable patient clinical information can increase patient satisfaction, create better outcomes, and save lives. Presenters will discuss how HSX’s Market Street infrastructure supported data sharing, patient engagement, care coordination, research, and precision medicine that saved the life –– in this composited patent scenario –– of a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer during the first trimester of her pregnancy.

 

Speaker:

• 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

 

The State of Pennsylvania is a leader in healthcare innovation at the state and local level. Join our Innovation Lab speakers to learn about technology and innovation initiatives from the state level, a local health system and from the physician’s perspective. Each panelist will give a brief presentation on innovation from their organization's perspective and join in a group Q&A after the presentations.

 

Speaker:

 

   

 

• Engaging your board, leadership and peers in creating a cybersecurity culture that is critical to the success of your governance structure and frameworks
• The use of frameworks to create a data-centric approach to security, enabling access to sensitive patient data anywhere, any-time, on any device
• How to organize and prioritize standardization efforts in order to build and maintain an information security program
• How they are using tools from multiple frameworks to move from a traditionally reactive approach to one that is far more proactive

 

This session will feature insights on the current threat landscape from our nation's top healthcare focused threat data sharing organization. The NH-ISAC is the official healthcare information sharing and analysis center, offering non-profit and for-profit healthcare stakeholders a community and forum for sharing cyber and physical security threat indicators, best practices and mitigation strategies. 

 

 

Angina. Heart attacks. No, this isn't just another day in your Emergency Department, it's the newest threat to patient safety - cybercrime. From crippling ransomware attacks that leave computers and EMRs inaccessible, to sophisticated social engineering schemes that drain payroll accounts, healthcare has been devastated by wave after wave of criminal activity. For the first time in history - cybersecurity has become life or death. But just like healthcare, there's hope. The very same issues that make our hospitals, clinics and exchanges vulnerable may also be our greatest strengths - but only if you know how to manage them. Thriving in this new age of cybercrime doesn't require a brain surgeon, it only requires experience and hard work. Join GreyCastle Security as we explore the hidden risks that all healthcare organizations face and the cybersecurity tactics that will save patients' lives in the coming years.

 

Speakers:

 

The growing number of serious attacks on our networks and the continual loss of data and money through fraud is one of the most serious economic and national security threats our nation faces. When providers experience an incident they are often left wondering what they could have done differently to mitigate the loss and prevent the breach. Panelists will address how they have overcome cyber-attacks and fraud losses and the methodologies and tools they have implemented to improve their security approach. Topics include:

The healthcare industry’s demand for cost efficiency, proliferation of healthcare data and concerns about security and ransomware paint a bleak picture for healthcare IT departments. How can they protect patient data, comply with regulations and keep costs down? It starts with IT Resilience. This session will address the five pain points of the healthcare IT department, and present how a resilient IT infrastructure can help avoid some of the most common pain points.
