"HIE:
Adoption, Roles and Realities For Our Healthcare System"
The Federal government has initiated Regional
Extension Center and Health Information Exchange Federal grant
programs to support meaningful EHR adoption and use. As much as
$45 billion will be expended over the next five years to meet the
ambitious goal of supporting electronic health records for most
Americans. Health information exchange (HIE) activities and
responsibilities have largely been delegated to states. California
may receive up to $38 million to develop statewide HIE services
and is developing an operational. This panel will lend invaluable
insight on HIE strategies and realities.
This session will
address:
. What HIE
services are critical to hospitals, providers, consumers, payers,
public health and government?
. Should a set of
shared services be developed and if so how should they be defined
and developed?
. How do we ensure maximum
participation of all stakeholders in the process of defining,
developing and using HIE services?
. How will services be sustained over
the medium and long term?
. How do we
ensure trust and support from all parties?
. How do
we ensure that privacy and security are maintained and
regulations/statute supports safe, secure access to information?

"The Kaiser
Permanente PHR Experience"
Kate
Christensen, MD
Medical Director, Internet Services
Group
Kaiser Permanente
Over 3 million
members of Kaiser Permanente are registered users of the Kaiser
Web site, kp.org. They are using the site to participate in their
health care in a way they are finding very efficient and
convenient. While there is concern in the Health IT world that
consumers will not adopt a digital Personal Health Record (PHR),
the experience at Kaiser Permanente shows that starting with the
right principles, listening to users, and implementing the
features that matter to them will lead to success.
This
session will cover the principles and approach used, the features
delivered, and the survey and usage data from our PHR experience.
Objectives:
. Understand how the
overarching ethical principles drove the implementation decisions
at a high level.
. List a variety of ways that you can involve
patients/consumers and physicians/clinicians in planning and roll
out.
. Learn the difference between
the myths and the realities of patient-physician
email.

Portela, President, Clinicomp, Int.
With the passing of the American Recovery
& Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in February 2009, U.S. provider
organizations were granted a unique opportunity to recoup costs
associated with the acquisition and implementation of much-needed
EHR technology. However, the requirements for eligibility for ARRA
payments include tight implementation deadlines alongside
requirements for the demonstration of "meaningful use".
These two requirements seem contradictory, as in practice,
rushed IT implementations have historically meant
less-than-optimal results. For this reason, it is critical that
U.S. providers making EHR investments and implementations under
ARRA deadlines leverage the learnings and best practices among
existing early adopters in the industry. This will help ensure
that their organizations achieve both statutory meaningful use and
meaningful results from their EHR investments. U.S. providers
clearly cannot afford a second chance to acquire and leverage EHR
capabilities.
This presentation and panel
discussion will:
. Provide an overview of the
current understanding of the EHR opportunities presented by
ARRA.
. Present IDC Health Insights' findings on best practices
and key learnings derived from research with EHR early adopters
who have achieved meaningful results.
. Discuss meaningful use
and concerns surrounding EHR selection, implementation and
adoption with panelists from the vendor and provider
community.

9:00am - 10:00am General Panel Session
"No Free Lunch: The ARRA, ARRA's New Regulatory Requirements, Laws that Actually Still Matter (or Matter Even More) and the impact on Patient Care"
While Congress and the President
debate so-called health reform, in many ways the ARRA and its
HITECH provisions dramatically changed the structure of
relationships between and among health care payers, providers,
clearinghouses, business associates, PHR Vendors, and related
entities. The ARRA also mandated new approaches to the hosting and
disclosure of individually identifiable health information in its
various forms. All stakeholders in the health care system need to
not just understand the ARRA and its implementing regulations, but
also have a plan for both accessing stimulus funds and for
compliance with the new and revised rules.
This
Presentation and Panel will address:
. New Regulations and Approaches under
the ARRA
. Revised Views of Old
Regulations under the ARRA
. Things You Probably Never Think About That Are Suddenly Very
Important, such as
E-Discovery, False Claims
and Malpractice Liability
. Where is
the money for Hospitals and Health Information Exchange
. What
happened to PHRs and will their use increase or decrease due to
the ARRA

"Revolutionary Health
IT: Collaboration, Transformation, and Innovation"
Barry P. Chaiken, MD,
FHIMSS
Chief Medical Officer, DocsNetwork,
Ltd.
HIMSS Chair Elect
Revolution is
defined as a "drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking
and behaving." Our healthcare system requires a health information
technology (HIT) revolution, a drastic change in the way we
deliver care by utilizing IT in new and innovative ways.
Revolutionary HIT requires a focus on three key areas: 1)
processes and workflows, 2) information technology tools, and 3)
healthcare provider tasks, duties and responsibilities.
In
this session attendees will:
. Review the foundation of
revolutionary HIT.
. Understand the steps necessary to build a
culture that supports revolutionary HIT.
. Explore how to
utilize revolutionary HIT concepts in their organizations.
. Identify the benefits offered by utilizing HIT in these new
and different ways.

Case Study
Competing on Analytics - A Growing "Must Have" Core
Competency for 21st Century Healthcare Service Delivery
Organizations
Herb Smaltz
Chief Information
Officer
Ohio State University
Medical Center
As the healthcare industry takes
the ARRA nudge to more fully automate its key clinical processes
via implementation of robust EMR's, a new problem (or opportunity)
is created. Hospitals and health systems will find themselves
swimming in a sea of disaggregated data. Those that are able to
leverage that data will have a clear advantage.
This
presentation provides a case study of one organization's efforts
to build a robust data analytics capability which has garnered
them both double digit margins as well as exceptional operational
performance improvements, even during these tough economic
times.
Keywords: Data warehousing, data mining, text
mining, performance management, data analytics, business
intelligence.

Technologies You Should Know About"
Orlando Portale
CIO
Palomar Pomerado
Health A California Healthcare
District
There are several emerging technologies on the horizon
that you should know about, that will have a major impact on how
care is delivered in the future. They will ultimately have an
impact on your technical infrastructure. This session will explore
the latest developments in several key areas such as vital signs
patient monitoring, virtual worlds, sleep study technology, sensor
based chip technology, personal genomics, and advanced medical
imaging.
2:00pm - 3:00pm General Panel Session
"Privacy and Security Protections; The Necessary
Foundation of Health IT Projects"
The
Health IT Standards Committee recently passed EHRs privacy and
security protection regulations that both vendors and healthcare
providers must meet by 2011. But beyond just EHRs it should be the
foundation of all Health IT projects being implemented across
networks there must be a firm set of standards and protocols to
safeguard against the breach of confidential information. This
Panel will explain the importance of, and the guidelines for
healthcare providers and vendors to work with one another to adopt
the necessary methods needed to secure privacy and security
confidentiality issues.
Topics
Addressed:
. What are the best security protection
methods and solutions to achieve access control, authorization,
and the transmission of health data
. What are the barriers
delaying the application of privacy and security protection
regulations from being implemented immediately in health IT
projects, and what are the solutions to overcome these?
. What
are the standards and protocols to implement security protective
regulations?
. Strategies to get vendor's, provider's,
researcher's and technologist's to collaborate with one another in
order to implement the most effective and efficient security
protected health IT projects.
