	Panel “Not Another Meaningful Use Panel: 2015 is Closer Than You Think!”	Panel “Raising the Bar: Leveraging mobile & Telehealth Technologies to Reduce Disparities in Care ”
	Before we get too excited, this panel will touch on Meaningful Use but not how you think. With all the focus on qualifying for Stage 2 and what future stages will look like, it is important to take a step back and consider what life will look like after Meaningful Use. With MU incentives scheduled to end in 2015, it’s never too soon to think about life without MU and how we can continue to drive improvements in quality, safety and cost effectiveness. This session will address: Driving IT post-Meaningful Use The long term picture of the health IT landscape What comes next?	Much of the conversation around telehealth & mobile applications has centered around finding funding and ensuring a return on the investment – either in directly reducing costs or significantly improving outcomes. This session will focus on the possibilities for telehealth to achieve the latter. This session will address: Leveraging health care in technology Targeted initiatives to improve overall quality of care Proven strategies for implementation Challenges in applying health care technology outside the traditional care setting

9:00 - 9:55am	Panel Discussion “Analytics in Healthcare: Leveraging Data for Organization Wide Improvements” An exciting element to the implementation of health IT is the improved ability for providers to track safety & outcomes in a quantitative manner. Improvement can only come once one can determine where a process is failing or succeeding. In addition to improvements in care, providers are gaining the ability to collect data and drive improvement in all areas of operation. This session will discuss: Measuring processes for IT, HIM and physicians Claims & Diagnostic Analytics Developing a Data Model to Support an Accountable Care Organization Developing strategies for gathering and acting on new intelligence Providing physician feedback Moderator: Lynne Dunbrack, Program Director, IDC Health Insights Thomas Yackel, MD, MPH, Chief Health Information Officer, OHSU Healthcare and Associate Professor, Oregon Health & Science University Thomas Payne, MD, Medical Director, IT Services, UW Medicine Paul Tittel , System Director, Enterprise Amalga & Data Services, Providence Health & Services

1:15 - 2:15pm	Panel “Security & Privacy in Health IT: A Fresh Look at Strategies & Risk Assessment” The current security risks for ePHI are well known and HIPAA updates continue to maintain security in both policy and in action. That said, the risks today are not the risks we faced just five years ago or those we will face five years from now. As new technologies evolve and access to ePHI becomes more prevalent, it is critical to have a security plan in place that will change proactively as new technologies are implemented and new stakeholders are incorporated into the healthcare landscape. This session will help participants: Establish priorities for a cyber security plan Assess and act on risk analysis Mitigate legal exposure Understand breach prevention & protocol Minimize the economic impact of an ePHI breach Moderator: Greg Gillespie, Editor-In-Chief, Health Data Management Dean Sittig, PhD, Professor, Biomedical Informatics, University of Texas Paul Matthews, Chief Technology Officer, OCHIN, Inc Mark Del Beccaro, MD, Professor & Vice Chair, Clinical Affairs, Department of Pediatrics, Seattle Children’s and Chair, American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Clinical Information Technology
