Given a room full of thought leaders, innovators and health IT executives and you’ll have all the stakeholders essential to the success of your organizations IT initiatives. Add in hot coffee and a full breakfast and you have the perfect start to your day.

You may not solve all of your delivery and implementation challenges in under an hour, but it’s the perfect way to engage the colleagues you plan on spending time with throughout your two days at the Summit. It’s these conversations, in addition to the interactive sessions, that will help develop effective strategies for the coming months. We look forward to seeing you there!

While the current HITECH incentives and penalties will raise the bar of meaningful use for information systems across the country, it may cause some challenging long term challenges to the meaningful use of data.  Providers will certainly begin to make meaningful use of information systems as defined by the law, but will they be able to assure the meaningful use of clinical data to continue to drive our national healthcare to the highest quality at a sustainable cost?  This is an issue confronted by our nation’s leading healthcare organizations as they push the envelope in defining care models and leveraging technology to improve care.

This session will discuss:

1. Maintaining innovation in healthcare
2. Innovating while complying with Meaningful Use
3. Using MU as a guide, not a goal

TeleX is the convergence of healthcare technologies that provide care in non-traditional settings.  While telex is a continually evolving concept, current technologies include:  telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth, wireless health, remote patient monitoring and more.  As technology improves and access expands, these concepts continue to overlap as do opportunities for interoperability.

This session will discuss:

1. Coordinating technologies for better care
2. Implementation strategies
3. Trends in healthcare
4. What’s next?

Healthcare cloud (aka, hCloud) computing offers a way for mobile devices to provide practical and valuable solutions for the capture, storage and processing of healthcare information. These technologies provide value across a range of healthcare applications, from decision support systems for frontline care providers to health sensor tracking.   

This panel will demonstrate that many remotely deployed applications that work on a laptop can also work on a mobile device in remote or virtual settings by using cloud computing through wireless technology. Because many mobile devices are not tied to wireless networks or landlines, they have the ability to penetrate otherwise inaccessible communities with point of care technologies.

As new technologies evolve and access to HIPAA protected data becomes more prevalent, it is critical to have a security plan in place that will act proactively as new technologies are implemented and new stakeholders are incorporated into the healthcare landscape.

This session will help participants:

1. Establish a long-term security plan
2. Identify Risk
3. Mitigate legal exposure
4. Understand breach prevention & protocol
5. Understand the economic impact of an ePHI breach

This session will discuss:

1. Capturing meaningful data
2. What do we do with this data?

Don't miss this interactive and fun reception amongst your colleagues and peers toasting an incredible day of thought leadership and collaboration.
