Presentation Topic: Using information exchange to improve physician satisfaction and increase referral revenue
Presentation Topic Overview: The continuing growth in physician practice EMR adoption is creating a new challenge for hospitals – how to provide electronic information exchange with physician practices to maintain physician referral loyalty. Traditional information exchange solutions are too expensive and technologically challenging to allow most hospitals to justify the investment. However, as large, influential practices deploy EMRs, they are demanding electronic exchange in order to lower administrative costs and improve clinical decision-making. This trend is rapidly creating competitive pressures for hospitals as national and regional reference labs, competing acute facilities and other outpatient service providers offer electronic exchange. This session will introduce a new solution to the electronic exchange challenge. In this session, you will learn how any hospital can easily and rapidly deploy an exchange solution with minimal budget, utilizing existing technical resources. Learn how other hospitals have used this new generation of exchange technology to improve physician loyalty and protect – even increase – their referral business. |

Presentation Topic: Improve Operational Efficiency with Mobile Device Management Solutions
Presentation Topic Overview: What's the impact on your ability to provide care for your patients when your wireless network or mobile devices fail? What's the impact to your critical care or emergency room operations when your health care professionals can not find the mobile devices they depend on to their job? Do you have the tools to support health care professionals in the field when they have questions about the technology that support their home bound patients? These very real scenarios can be avoided before they occur or supported today through dynamic mobile device management software toolkits. This session will address the technology available to put the control of your mobile devices back in your technology support teams. |

Presentation Topic: Generating Value from the Converged Wireless Hospital
Presentation Topic Overview: Healthcare is a highly mobile environment that requires access to mission- and life-critical applications and information everywhere, every time. Wireless equipment and technologies allow for greater clinician mobility, but without guaranteed coverage, mission- and life-critical processes can suffer greatly. With a converged wireless solution, hospitals can rely on the ubiquitous delivery of voice, data, location and clinical wireless services throughout the entire facility. Reliable wireless coverage can help to improve workflow efficiency, enhance the patient care experience and provide increased patient safety. A converged wireless solution also enables facilities to adapt quickly and inexpensively to future wireless technologies as they become available (e.g., location/tracking). The ability to increase care team collaboration, improve workflow and patient outcomes through a comprehensive, future-ready converged wireless platform generates an unmatched value in the healthcare market. |

Presentation Topic:Healthcare Technology Infrastructure Transformation:
Where to Start
Presentation Topic Overview:Healthcare CIO and Technology Directors are feeling more and more pressure to modernize and transform their IT organizations in order to drive increased reliability, lower costs, and better support the automation of care delivery. This transformation can involve a multitude of advanced and sometimes complex technologies. However, in order ensure the ongoing success of a technology transformation, a base of strong processes must first exist. This presentation will address how to begin applying and leveraging ITIL(R) best practices. By transforming the key processes of Service Desk, Incident Management and Change Management first, not only will IT organizations achieve measurable gains in Customer Satisfaction and Infrastructure Reliability, but they will have laid the foundation on which a transformed IT organization can thrive. |

Interoperability Process Management in Health Information
Exchanges (HIEs) |
|
 |
Co-Presenter:
IT Senior Director -
University of Pennsylvania |
 |
Co-Presenter:
Director of IT Services -
Wellspan Health |
| Presentation Description: The emergence of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) requires that the business processes meet a objective utilizing stakeholders to make them successful. HIEs work successfully when processes conform to standards that achieve the intended objectives regardless of ownership, location or health information technology applied. The benefit to the HIE is the application of process regardless of the hardware and technology. Ultimately this will allow for greater harmonization among HIEs to form a network of networks. Like data interoperability, process interoperability is sometimes a barrier that exists between providers and stakeholder and is often overlooked with HIEs. Interoperability can be applied so that stakeholders freely share care information among each other. You will see how process interoperability can be applied operationally. In doing so the HIE can streamline patient care information exchange so caregivers and the patient can benefit from sharing among each other. |

Moderator:
CFO and EHR Demonstration Coordinator, Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative |
Panelists:
3 Project Officers from:
Medicare Demonstrations Program Group, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services |
| Presentation & Panel Discussion Overview: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has selected Pittsburgh as one of a dozen locations across the country in which the use of electronic health records (EHRs) by small/medium-sized primary physician practices will be tested. The federal demonstration program should be of interest to primary care physicians (PCPs) who already use EHRs, or are thinking of implementing EHRs. Qualified participants will receive EHR implementation and clinical quality performance incentives of up to $58,000/practitioner over the five-year demonstration period (capped at $290,000/participating practice). The demonstration is designed to determine whether added payments stimulate quality improvements in practices with EHRs. Up to 200 Pittsburgh-area, primary care physician practices will be recruited for participation: a treatment group of approximately 100 practices will be eligible for incentives, as well as a control group of approximately 100 practices. |
| *Discussion topics to include: |
- Demonstration overview
- Practice eligibility requirements
- Beneficiary assignment
- Minimum HER requirements and functionalities
- Incentive payment calculation

Presentation Topic: Healthcare Mobility and Wireless Services
Presentation Topic Overview: Imagine having virtually every healthcare facility resource available at the point of care....bringing information from medical specialists, clinicians, patient records, and skilled nursing staff right to the patient bedside, examination room or emergency treatment center. Imagine being able to increase the time healthcare professionals spend with patients, instead of time spent searching for colleagues, equipment or patient records. Imagine collaborative treatment plans prepared and delivered on demand. Imagine no longer. In an environment where "anytime, anyplace" communications is key - wireless and mobility solutions allow healthcare providers to dramatically improve decision making processes and bring more resources directly to the point of care. |

Presentation Topic: Managing Critical Output in a Healthcare Environment
Presentation Topic Overview: Patient Care is often reliant on successfully delivering critical documents to their appropriate destinations as efficiently as possible. Time sensitive documents such as Bar Code labels, Medication Histories, Pharmacy labels etc. need to accompany the patient through their course of treatment without delay. Traditionally most healthcare applications rely on the underlying operating system for delivery of such patient sensitive critical data, resulting in unnecessary delays and administrative overhead. The solution presented will discuss how a single enterprise-wide delivery methodology can enhance patient care and lower costs throughout the organization. |
