Opening Keynote |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
Improving the health of a nation’s citizens requires health IT that is data driven, interoperable, and provides person-centered quality care. To do so, we must ensure that an interoperable health IT ecosystem makes the right electronic health information available to the right people at the right time. Sharing information more broadly to providers, consumers, and others to support better decisions while maintaining privacy, is one way of achieving better care, smarter spending and a healthier nation. |
|
Session 2 9:15 - 10:00 AM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
As the number of successful medical device integration projects grows, ECRI Institute is tracking both the benefits and risks to patient safety that can arise when medical devices and information systems are connected to one another. In many cases, patient safety relies on careful coordination of various overlapping issues. Medical device integration can promote safer care by making the right information available at the right time, and facilities can maximize the safety of their integrated systems by incorporating lessons learned by early adopters. |
|
Session 3 10:15 - 11:00 AM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
Organized as a community of communities, the non-profit OpenHIE initiative has organized various projects involved in standardizing health information into a common, scalable approach that has immediate pragmatic value for a whole host of real world health use cases. Concerned less about theoretical interoperability and more concerned with applied interoperability in real health care settings, OpenHIE has realized that different environments have real and specific needs related to supporting efficient health provision. |
|
Session 4 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
Based on the organization's mission to provide clinically excellent medical care at affordable rates in an environment that's as close to a patient's home as possible, Intermountain Healthcare has introduced interoperable systems at the bedside which positively affect patient care. |
|
Session 5 1:00 - 1:45 PM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
Although interoperability has been recognized as perhaps the biggest gap in what the health information technology domain has to offer patients, The Sequoia Project and RSNA, together, are positioned to close the gap. This partnership aims to promote the best interest and care of patients by ensuring that the world of imaging is ready to rapidly advance standards-based solutions for imaging interoperability. While these standards are employed elsewhere in the world and present a solution that can evolve as new technologies arise, the work of the Sequoia Project will enable radiological imaging sharing and thus close the interoperability gap while subsequently providing the best for both patients and providers. |
|
Session 6 1:45 - 2:30 PM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
As Maryland's state designated health information exchange, CRISP (Chesapeake Regional Information System for Patients) has developed care coordination tools and services that build upon its existing data delivery and reporting services. Through its ICN (Integrated Care Network), CRISP is focusing on connecting providers in multiple settings with information to improve health outcomes and reduce costs by providing tools, data, and services to support care coordination. |
|
Closing Keynote 2:45 - 3:30 PM EST |
|
Description |
Learning Objectives |
Created by the Texas Legislature in 2007, Texas Health Services Authorities (THSA) is a public private partnership that promotes and coordinates HIE and health information technology (HIT) throughout the State of Texas. By doing so, THSA ensures that the right information is available to the right health care providers at the right times, thereby promoting patient safety. |
