1:30-2:25pm	Track 1 - Herberger 1 Meeting Room	Track 2 - Herberger 2 Meeting Room
	Panel “A Comprehensive Look at Healthcare Delivery Reform: From Accountable Care to PCMH and Beyond”	Panel “Evidence-Centric Care: Using Data to Transform Healthcare in America”
Track 1 brought to you by: Track 2 brought to you by:	Reforming the American health care system is a primary concern for policymakers and physicians alike. One main reason is the desire to extend coverage to some if not all of the more than 45 million uninsured in this country. But there is an emerging consensus that, if it is to be successful and financially viable, reform must also encompass ways to improve quality and value in the system. One of the prime targets for reform is the manner in which care is delivered. This session will engage healthcare leaders for a candid discussion about the challenges, and potential solutions, we face in the months ahead. Topics include: Foundations for monitoring and improving outcomes Establishing a shared savings program Strategies for stakeholder engagement Transitioning from focusing on volume/intensity of care to a value based system Alternatives to ACOs	The growth, integration, and interoperability of healthcare information systems and devices create vast databases of structured and unstructured data. Both physicians and administrators will achieve success through a better understanding and interpretation of this information, transforming it into best practices and knowledge that improve clinical and financial outcomes. This discussion will: Review the current capabilities of advanced analytics Explore the advances in analytics expected over the next five years Discuss the role of analytics in achieving Meaningful Use Discuss experiences and challenges in leveraging data to drive evidence-based healthcare and improve outcomes

	Case Study “HIE Consumer & Stakeholder Engagement: Privacy and Security of Patient Data”	Presentation
	Given well-publicized data breaches nationally and the spread of health information exchange (HIE), the issue of privacy and security of patient data shared through HIE networks is one of the most complex and sensitive issues in establishing and maintaining trust among consumers, physicians, and other major community stakeholders. In this presentation, we discuss the privacy and security challenges the New Mexico Health Information Exchange (NMHIC) has encountered in its HIE development history and the lessons it has learned concerning them. Federal and state privacy law compatibility: beyond HIPAA and HITECH Privacy approaches: opt-out, opt-in, hybrid Educating consumers and providers about HIE benefits & risks Privacy policies needed to support interstate information exchange Engaging consumers, providers, and other community stakeholders about uses of HIE data & other privacy decisions	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.

4:00 - 5:00pm	Track 1 - Herberger 1 Meeting Room	Track 2 - Herberger 2 Meeting Room
	Panel “The Evolving Role of Technology in Healthcare: Implementing Telehealth & Mobile Solutions to provide patient-centered care”	Panel“Security Considerations for a Paperless Health System”
Track 1 brought to you by:	The role of technology in healthcare continues to grow rapidly as we find new ways to leverage innovation to improve outcomes and value. As EHR technology drives improvement in the traditional care setting, there are other technologies that are equally transformative outside the hospital walls. This panel will discuss strategies for improving outcomes and cutting costs by engaging patients in non-traditional ways using telehealth and mobile solutions. Topics include: Opportunities for extending your radius of care Engaging the community to improve outcomes Integration into the care system Ensuring a return on your investment.	As Health IT systems become ubiquitous in the American healthcare system, a significant challenge presents itself in the form of developing security and risk mitigation technologies and policies to build and maintain the public trust in our ability to properly secure and use their personal health information. It is critical to develop this trust in order to have successful adoption of HIT initiatives by both providers and consumers alike. Maintaining this trust on a long term basis will require a sustained focus and proactive stance on supporting the electronic exchange and use of health information in a secure, private manner. This session will discuss: Technologies and best practices that enhance the protection of health information Challenges in securing ePHI Considerations for HIPAA compliance and Meaningful Use

Examples of such applications include using clinical decision support tools, patient registries, reminder systems and more. The widespread adoption and meaningful use of certified EHR technology is a necessary interim step in the transformation to a more intelligent healthcare system. It is essential to build upon the health IT infrastructure currently in place and use the information made available by EHRs in order to move toward improving outcomes and reducing costs.
