The Big Future of Big Data: Forward-Thinking Examples of Analytics in a Modern Healthcare Setting
 
Big Data is not just a buzzword, but a movement in the "New Healthcare".   Analytics are a proven tool with unlimited potential to generate insights, from bringing about personalized treatments to bring cancer patients into remission, to generating new medical insights that further the treatment of a teenage girl presenting with Lupus.  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.
 
In this session, we explore the current utility of data beyond the simple term of population health.  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.

Where Your Security Risk Management Should Be in the Next 6 Months
 
The healthcare cyberattack is not a matter of if, but when.  According to recent research, provider organizations now receive up to several attack attempts per month that could escalate to enterprise-level concerns.  Attackers make no exceptions.  
 
Risk management strategies and the rise of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) within healthcare are viable starting points, but the on the horizon are more regulations and more ominous demands.  The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has begun it's often referenced Phase 2 of its HIPAA Audit Program, featuring new areas of focus for healthcare.  In addition to this, new emerging threats continue to spawn from the dark web, including high-powered variants of ransomware and malware, such as: Cryptolocker, Locky, Samas, Zues, and the Shifu Trojan.  What is required to keep PHI protected, and to ensure your organization does not join the OCR "Wall of Shame"?
 
In this session, join our diverse panel of experts as they turn their focus to 6 months from now, focusing on forward-thinking risk management evolutions for the immediate future.  Join this interactive panel discussion on top potential threats, upcoming policies and legal considerations associated with breaches, and the risk management strategies to position your organization to prevent the next-generation of cybersecurity threats.

The Verdict is in: Informatics Plays Star Witness in Legal Medical Record
 
Patients and their attorneys are becoming more and more savvy about electronic health records (EHRs), and the availability of their data. They are both recognizing that a printed medical record may not be a comprehensive reflection of patient care, which could prove to be a dangerous risk for health care organizations involved. In this dynamic session, we will explore the process of a discovery process request from a patient's attorney while defining HIPAA privacy rules, to ultimately toe the line of being helpful and protecting your institution's interests.   
 
Visit with two leading experts from the Virginia-based health giant, Inova Health, as they speak to the impact of informatics on the EHR, analytics and clinicians, but also to medical records, risk management and legal departments of a health system. Learn the rules of engagement with the plaintiff's legal team from an informatics perspective.  Discover how patient requests are changing in the setting of the EHR and identify benefits and pitfalls to open access of audit trails attorneys may want to supplement for the printed record.

Bull or Bear: Thoughts on the Management of IT Assets as a Portfolio
 
Buy or sell, bull or bear, IT teams and their leaders live in a world of budgetary scrutiny and assets management.  The concept of vendor consolidation and the "sunsetting" of programs have become commonalities for many organizations in an effort to improve the bottom line, but strategic transparency is of the utmost importance.

With hundreds upon hundreds of applications running concurrently to keep the train of healthcare on time, understanding and managing these assets as a portfolio has opened the door to more strategic conversations to extract more value from the yearly budget.  In this session, find out how the concept of portfolio management within IT has risen over time, and the key strategies to get your applications and vendor relationships under control.

Cybersecurity Readiness Testing: Practical Lessons Learned From Small Physician Practices and Clinics
 
With the newly minted MACRA legislation passed and in effect, small physician practices, clinics, and small retail healthcare outlets have been tasked with challenging mandates regarding their patient privacy and cybersecurity readiness programs.   The small group practice or private practice are getting a crash course in security protocols, with some staff members joining the ranks of amateur white hats across the country.
 
This presentation provides an overview of emerging cyber healthcare threats with emphasis on threat mitigation and risk management through human factors. Participants will understand  threats that are unique to health care organizations with a focus on small to medium sized physician practice. An overview of regulations and new standards that pertain to privacy and security will also be included.

Where Quality and IT Meet: Data Governance Strategies to Unite the Two Houses
 
The quality department's influence on the enterprise is now undeniable in the face of Accountable Care.  According to a recent release from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), they have identified 16 healthcare organizations who are receiving Hospital Improvement and Innovation Network contracts, which totals more than $347 million.  Much of this initiative is centered around reduction of readmissions, infections, and other costs surrounding Medicare patients-- data and IT governance being the focal point of this effort.  What data is required for quality improvement initiatives?  How is it being delivered?  Where is the crossroads of where the IT and Quality teams meet?
 
Join Healthcare Informatics, and a diverse team of provider care experts as we explore the data governance best practices and collaboration required to improve quality.  Hear from quality experts and IT experts alike, as we take a deep dive into the concerns and procedures to bring the two houses under one roof, with one common goal.

Zero Errors, Zero Defects: The Making of Sharp Healthcare as a High-Reliability Organization (HRO)
 
A high reliability organization (HRO) modeled concept is defined as avoiding catastrophes in an environment where normal accidents and mistakes can occur due to risk factors and complexity-- a concept that healthcare can undoubtedly embrace.  In a world where risk and stakes have never been greater, healthcare IT is increasingly a field where a single mistake can massively impact an entire enterprise.  With cybersecurity concerns, data breaches, down time, and conflicts surrounding clinical workflows and efficiencies, IT has a slim margin for error.  In this session engaging session, we explore the rationale behind applying HRO to healthcare, its impact on health IT, and the practical management applications and processes needed to reduce errors and improve the quality of the patient experience.
