8:00 am	Registration Opens
8:50 am	Introductory Remarks Barry Chaiken, MD Senior Fellow & HIT Conference Chair Institute for Health Technology Transformation CMO, DocsNetwork Ltd. and former HIMSS Chair
9:00 - 10:10am Brought to you by:	Panel Discussion “Health Care Analytics: From the Waiting Room to the Point of Care” With incentives in place for increased use of health information technology, healthcare organizations have greater access to multitudes of data resources. But without a program in place to target, gather, deliver and analyze the most relevant data, these organizations will continue to be data rich but information poor. Forward-thinking healthcare organizations realize that data usage and business intelligence (BI) is at the center of informed and precise decision-making that will improve outcomes, quality of care and the bottom line. Topics addressed will include: Leveraging data at the point of care Prioritizing implementation to get the biggest bang for your buck Strategic approach vs. small tactical projects Integrating data in financial, operational and clinical systems Moderator: Trevor Strome, MSc, PMP, Editor, HealthcareAnalytics Darren Dworkin, Chief Information Officer & SVP Enterprise Information Systems, Cedars-Sinai Health System Sajjad Yacoob, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles - iHT² Advisory Board Steve Margolis, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Adventist Health System Mark Zirkelbach, Chief Information Officer, Loma Linda University Medical Center

Afternoon Breakout Sessions

1:30 - 2:25pm	Track 1	Track 2
	Panel “Enabling the Care Models of Tomorrow, Today: The Critical Role of mHealth in Coordination of Care, PCMH & Population Health Management”	Panel “Transitioning to ICD-10: Improving Outcomes, Streamlining Operations & Reducing Costs”
	mHealth has emerged as a top strategic initiative among leading global organizations, including healthcare providers. Caregivers are highly mobile, job duties are time-critical and impact people’s lives and regulations abound to ensure patient safety and security. This technology comes with myriad benefits in error reduction, increased accuracy and productivity, and more. There are also significant challenges from security and integration to added costs for hardware, software and support. This session will address: Facilitating coordination of care, PCMH and population health management Leveraging mHealth to improve care Challenges of implementing mHealth technologies	The stated purpose of the ICD-10 upgrade is to improve patient care quality, enhance claim processing, improve reporting and promote interoperability. It is evident that some are having more success than others and with the deadline for transition looming larger than ever, we have an opportunity to evaluate how the industry has begun to leverage the improved coding system to actually improve care. The panel will discuss: Best practices for ICD-10 education & implementation Organizational readiness ICD-10 compliance risks Tools to track and report progress
	Moderator: Dan Munro, Contributing Editor, Forbes, The Healthcare Compass Paul Peabody, Chief Information Officer, Palomar Health Sajid Ahmed, Director, HIT, LA Care Health Plan, HITECH-LA - iHT² Advisory Board Member

	Case Study “Performance Excellence Enabled by Innovative Technology and Trans-disciplinary Collaboration”	Case Study "Key Info"
	The emergence of a transformative process for health care delivery in the United States holds the promise of improving the quality of care for individuals and populations as well as improving efficiency and effectiveness through the use and integration of evidence-based information, analytic tools and trans-disciplinary collaboration. Innovative technology blended with unprecedented care provider collaboration expressed through the successful implementation of an electronic health record can have a profound effect on improved patient-centric care delivery, patient safety, quality of care and revenue cycle enhancements. The strategic and tactical use of business intelligence models is effective in aligning health care organizations with the national health care agenda. Topics addressed and essential elements for health care transformation include: Leveraging real time information that can be transformed into knowledge at the point of care to inform clinical decision making by the care provider. Unprecedented collaboration by all disciplines involved in healthcare including revenue cycle roles to drive performance excellence. Predictive analytics applied to large data sets as a proactive tactical tool for health care organizational planning.	iHT² case studies and presentations illustrate challenges, successes and various factors in the outcomes of numerous types of health IT implementations. They are interactive and dynamic sessions providing opportunity for dialogue, debate and exchanging ideas and best practices. This session will be presented by a thought leader in the provider, payer or government space.

3:15 - 4:00pm	Afternoon Networking Break

4:00 - 5:00pm Track 1 brought to you by:	Track 1	Track 2
	Panel “Meaningful Use & ACO’s: Implementing One to Achieve the Other”	Panel “Patient-Centered Health: A Cornerstone for Accountable Care”
	Recent federal legislation is encouraging the formation of Accountable Care Organizations. To be effective, these ACOs must use sophisticated information technology. An ACO requires electronic health records, data management, personal health records and health information exchanges. Each of these elements must provide "traditional" capabilities: EHRs, for example must support the documentation of a patient's problems and e-prescribing, and health information exchanges must enable the transfer of discharge summaries and procedure reports between providers. These models, whose purpose is to significantly improve the coordination and efficiency of care delivery, will require a robust and functional health IT infrastructure to realize the benefits from ACOs. Topics addressed: Electronic health records Data management Health information exchange Patient engagement	The accountable care organization (ACO) has been a model for health care reform, yet its modest success has been limited to a handful of health care systems across the country. However, the ACO model has recently taken on far greater significance since being introduced as one of Medicare’s pilot programs in the health reform bill. ACO’s should provide, coordinate, and manage with patients, the continuum of care across different institutional settings, including ambulatory and inpatient care, post acute care, and preventive care; have the capability of prospectively planning budgets and resource needs; and have sufficient size, infrastructure, and systems to support valid and reliable performance measurement. ACOs can then act as a reform tool by incentivizing more efficient and effective care that is patient-centric. This panel session will address: Impact of ACO’s and PCMH The role of health IT in patient centered care Best practices for implementation and challenges to adoption
