To kick off the opening reception, you will have an opportunity to spend 25 minutes meeting with your conference ‘Living Group’.  Attendees will be grouped together so that starting on Day 1 you will have an opportunity to meet new contacts and maximize your conference experience.  In addition to meeting your Living Group, you will also take part in an interactive activity to determine the top challenges facing CMIO’s given your expanding role & responsibilities in health IT.  The top challenges for each group will be announced at the end of the session.

Following the initial activity, you will have an hour to mingle during our cocktail reception with other CMIO’s and connect with long-time colleagues and new connections alike.  Have a drink on the Institute and relax!

In addition to sharing some of the new initiatives on which your organization is working, dinner will be spent learning more about industry challenges and concerns so we all can better serve the community and help to improve the quality of our healthcare system.  As the dinner is a casual affair, we will also be enjoying fine wine, cocktails, a wonderful meal, and great company!

Healthcare IT has a last mile problem.   Use of new clinical systems is being mandated, often at the expense of effectiveness and efficiency.  The challenge is balancing the implementation of these new requirements with the need to optimize workflow for doctors and nurses. Learn how increasing the usability of clinical systems will result in increased productivity, improved clinician satisfaction, and improved patient care.

Focus Groups are targeted sessions intended for delegates who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area.  These guided work groups are designed for industry thought leaders to share challenges, best practices and recommendations in on a peer to peer level.

Innovation can be a messy process—hard to measure and hard to manage. Most recognize it only when it generates a surge in growth and in many corporate circles ‘innovation’ is a term often misunderstood. Health care is an industry ripe for innovative new approaches to clinical workflow, patient safety and other applications that can improve quality and reduce costs however managing innovation is easier said than done in most organizations. This session will discuss unique strategies that can enable organizations to foster innovation for competitive advantage.       

Topics addressed:

1. Building capabilities for experimentation
2. Managing and learning from trials
3. Embracing open innovation models
