Keynote Panel Session "From Sea to Shining Sea: A Comprehensive Look at the Transformative Power of Health IT in America"
With representation from critical stakeholders in the health information technology landscape, this high-level panel will take a look at the current state of HIT in America and what needs to be our focus as we move toward achieving meaningful use. It is evident that HIT has tremendous potential to transform and improve care, but studies show EMR/EHR adoption in hospitals remains low. The most common reported adoption barriers among hospitals without an EMR system include insufficient capital, maintenance costs, physician resistance, ROI concerns and insufficient staff training. While the larger institutions make up the majority of those reporting extensive use of electronic records systems, last year fewer than 8% of major clinic units had a basic EHR, just 12% of hospitals reported use of electronic physicians' notes across all clinical units and CPOE is being utilized across all clinical units in just 17% of hospitals. You can expect to hear from these national thought leaders on the critical elements and benefits of this transformation and why we need buy in from all stakeholders in the HIT landscape.
Key points will include:
- Next steps for HIT
- Milestones for achievement
- Goals and limitations for HIT
- Potential for Health Information Exchange
- Implications of Healthcare Reform

As more providers begin to implement EHR solutions, the next step in the progression is sharing and using this new abundance of data to improve healthcare quality and outcomes. These initiatives protect the confidentiality, privacy and security of the clinical information. Successful deployment of HIEs across the nation is a core component of the effort to build a national health information system across IT platforms. To provide impetus toward meaningful use, Regional Extension Centers are already working on local and regional levels to educate and assist providers to formulate implementation strategies. The ONC is also developing a Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) to support "the nationwide electronic exchange and use of health information in a secure, private and accurate manner"¯, as designated by the Recovery Act.
This session will explore strategies to make the most of these network platform architectures from local to national scales.
Topics include:
- Implementation strategies
- Privacy and security
- Integrating data services
- Improving coordination of care
- Qualifying for ARRA incentive funds
|
From its inception, and in its most basic form, telehealth was generally considered a platform for video conferencing. Since the turn of the century, technological developments have vastly changed the telehealth landscape - both in definition and potential. Telehealth is now widely recognized as an integral part of modern quality healthcare and utilization of mobile applications & devices, remote patient monitoring, home care and video conferencing are becoming standard issue in a physician's toolbox.
This group of experienced panelists will discuss how telehealth is changing delivery of care for both the provider and patient, as well as what initiatives you should plan to implement moving forward. |

Panel "Establishing Stakeholder Buy-in for Health Community Health Information Exchange" |
Panel "Beyond the Hospital Walls: Incorporating the Patient-Centered Medical Home into the Healthcare Continuum" |
HIE Track Brought to you by:
|
Community-wide health information exchange should account for and serve the needs of each stakeholder group, while still allowing them to share in the benefits. A typical community involves healthcare organizations such as physician practices, hospitals, health systems and long-term and home-care agencies, as well as patients, individual providers, payers and employers.
This session will focus on gaining the buy-in and cooperation from each of these groups by focusing on their unique value propositions and on strategies to educate, inform and engage each group. |
The patient-centered medical home is a healthcare setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their care providers. This model of care aims to provide structured, proactive and coordinated care for all patients and has the potential to become a critical element of health reform and can provide impetus for improving quality and containing costs across the spectrum of the healthcare industry. Conceptually, the medical home has been around for over 30 years but has been reinvigorated by its inclusion as a critical element of the healthcare reform bill, in addition to innovation in technologies allowing real-time monitoring and long distance, secure and frequent communication between patients and their care givers.
This session will address the central role of technologies in the resurgence of the medical home and how this will improve quality of care and cut costs. |

CPOE Panel Brought to you by:
|
Featured Panel Session "Computerized Provider Order Entry: Engaging the end user" |
Panel Session “Sustainability and Value: Laying a Foundation for HIE” |
It is well known, and has been discussed at length, that a major key to meeting meaningful use criteria in most categories involves getting providers to actually use CPOE and the other HIT systems being implemented. While a simple mandate would be ideal, that is not always a realistic option for administrators. The reality is that there are multiple factors behind HIT adoption rates, with the common thread being low usage. This session will discuss why CPOE is a critical element in the meaningful use of EHR's and how providers can work internally to get physicians to buy into these new processes.
Topics Include:
- User Interface
- Establishing workflows
- Interoperability
- E-Prescribing
- Order transmittal & tracking
- Module training
|
Both the sustainability of Health Information Exchange (HIE) and the value presented to providers has been a continuous inhibitor in the roll out of these systems. Fortunately, with the funding and increased availability provided by the HITECH Act the healthcare community has some breathing room to iron out these details.
Creating a model in which HIE is both sustainable and valuable means providers can electronically share individual patient data using non-proprietary mechanisms in a manner compliant with state and federal regulations and the costs and benefits of HIE are created in a way that funding is provided through the process of HIE rather than public subsidies.
Topic Include:
- HIE Business Models
- National Health Information Exchange Network (NHIN)
- Working with REC’s & State HIE’s
- Proprietary vs. Open source HIE
- Stakeholder Participation

Panel Session and Presentation "Security & Privacy Considerations for a Wired Health System"
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. It has been suggested that establishing performance measurement and enforcement policies and technology tools while linking compliance to benefits would serve to garner this trust in the short term. 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 look at technologies and best practices that enhance the protection of health information by all holders of individually identifiable health information.
Topics include:
- Data access and preventing breaches
- Data stewardship
- Consumer access and control
- Maintaining security during the exchange of health information data
