Traditionally most health care organizations have been consumers of innovative technologies in the market, not producers. However, as the role of health systems change, many are building the capabilities to develop and potentially commercialize their own unique solutions. The process of assessing and selecting externally developed innovations at scale is challenging, time consuming, and often haphazard for healthcare organizations; these struggles in creating a successful external innovation process provide little incentive for organizations to take the additional step in producing innovations of their own. Michael Schmidt , managing director, strategic innovations will share Orlando Health's progress on this journey to create an internal innovation competency and culture, with their Foundry program, as a case example.

 

 

There are many mobile applications available today to assist healthcare consumers with tracking and monitoring their health data. However, this often necessitates managing multiple applications simultaneously. What if patients were able to interact with a single mobile application customized for multiple disease conditions and seamlessly integrated with a patient’s health record? What if patients could receive just-in-time guidance, such as medication reminders, symptom tracking and health education, to help them manage their conditions? These are the primary goals that drove the creation of an Interactive Care Plan (ICP) at Mayo Clinic. This session will outline lessons learned, best practices and optimal steps and processes required for replication and scalability of an ICP initiative within a healthcare organization.

 

Attendees will learn:

 

 

Have you wanted to create consistent patient and plan member consumer experiences? Or provide opportunities to lower the cost of care? A digital health strategy will answer your needs. At the heart of a digital health strategy is data trusted, secure data that can be accessed by everyone in the organization. To reach this level of maturity, organizations are starting to leverage governance to foster and deliver trusted data to their line of business data consumers.

 

 

Join your fellow attendees to discuss what you've learned in the morning sessions and make new connections.

 

 

Managing access to your networks, applications and devices through a strong Identity and Access Management program is a challenge for information security and business leaders alike. Join this session to learn how clinical leaders, hospital administration, CIOs, CISOs and other critical members of your leadership team must work together to develop a strong identity and access management strategy that secures your organization.

 

 

Hyper-convergence is a oft-used buzzword now within health IT circles, especially as the advent of new technologies around flexible infrastructure continue to disrupt the marketplace. However, hyper-converged computing represents a unique area of opportunity for healthcare IT teams, especially in the face of demands from leadership for greater flexibility, and lower time-to-market for new built or merged facilities or locations. So what exactly is hyper-convergence and how does it fit into the IT roadmap?

 

 

The global community is generally aware of the existence of Intuitive’s da Vinci robot as a powerful and effective tool for a number of surgical procedures. But almost no one is aware that modern hospitals are actually using almost a dozen surgical robots right now and that more than fifty new robotic surgical devices are in the process of coming to market. We explore the breadth of all of these devices, create categories based on their capabilities, and identify important business impacts.

 

 

Healthcare is no place for slackers. It’s a fast-paced industry that ups the game every chance it gets. And that’s for good reason, of course, because when you’re in the business of saving lives, you expect a lot of yourself and everyone around you. Now it’s time to expect more from your healthcare informatics solutions. To make sure they’re intelligent and interoperable, intuitive and extensible, sound and secure, and more. 
 
Healthcare informatics hold great promise for helping us deliver on many of healthcare’s boldest aspirations -- advanced analytics, decision support, streamlined workflows, seamless care, and most importantly, improved outcomes. But too often, we settle for far less than the full value these innovative solutions can provide. During this session, Paula Cobb will explore ways to put powerfully productive healthcare informatics to work for you.

 

 

Attempting to improve quality outcomes retrospectively has shown to be ineffective. Quality care is essential to improving outcomes and therefore a proactive approach is essential. In this session we demonstrate how moving from retro to real-time data analytics improved the opportunity for our clinicians to provide quality care. Learn how we combined real world clinical experiences with innovative architecture, while leveraging existing technology, to produce a near-time dashboard for nurses. This session goes beyond mere concept and shares practical applications of near and real-time reporting. We will share how we combined analytics and technology to save clinicians time while increasing the visibility of the quality of care being delivered, ultimately leading to improved outcomes.

 

 

The healthcare industry is not immune to consumerism.  Consumers today expect sophisticated service, more convenient access, personalized attention and transparency.  Healthcare systems are struggling to keep up with consumer expectations set by other industries.  Paying for healthcare service is both more complex and often more costly than other purchases.  Meanwhile, healthcare organizations have to keep up with fragmented data, regulatory constraints, and a complex technology landscape.  This creates a unique challenge to engage patients on their journey to find, choose, cover, and benefit from care. Join us to see how new digital channels, AI, and other advances are coming together to re-imagine the patient experience.

 

 

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital received a $500,000 grant to research and implement technology solutions that would improve care for Tallahassee’s homeless population and reduce strain on area emergency rooms. Lauren Faison , service line administrator for population health and telemedicine, will discuss how this program has been implemented and how this investment has already reduced costs of care by more than a million dollars.

 

 

Our powerhouse panel of dynamic healthcare leaders will discuss how their organizations are breaking down socio-economic barriers to healthcare through rapid deployment of inexpensive technology, data analytics, telehealth solutions, and building partnerships at the state and local levels. This panel will feature discussions on technology investment, social determinants of health and more.

 

 

Join your fellow attendees at the end of the day to toast what you've learned and the new connections you've made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join Pamela King, the State of Florida's HIE Outreach Coordinator to learn how data sharing was critical to the response and recovery efforts for Hurricane Michael in the Fall of 2018.

 

 

Join to learn key findings and insights from the Patient Experience study, conducted by HIMSS Analytics. Fielded to both patients and providers alike, this study focused on understanding technology impacts on patient experience (PX) across the care continuum. Findings highlight focus opportunities for technology investments toward what patients truly value.
 
Learning Objectives:

 

 

 

KLAS conducted in-depth, on-site interviews with healthcare organizations who are achieving real, measurable results in value-based care. They did this through in-person interviews that dove into their journey, the outcomes they have achieved, and the best practices that led to their success. KLAS will share their research so organizations can take away actionable insights that will help them survive the changing market and drive VBC success.

 

 

Join our esteemed panel of physician group and health system leaders as they discuss the strategic, cultural and technological transformation required to move their organizations forward into population health management and value-based care.
