Health Systems continue to be exposed to ransomware attacks during the global pandemic with increased impact to patient care and exposure to large global integrated health delivery systems.  Patients have recognized significant patient care impacts such as rescheduled surgeries, increased patient wait times, delayed COVID-19 test results, and challenges filling prescription medications.  This presentation will provide healthcare executives a guide to understanding how their organization is positioned to protect against emerging ransomware threats.
Learning Objectives

• Provide thought leadership to current cyber security events
• Share industry experience and how they have impacted health systems.
• Educate leaders on what core security program elements should be foundationally in place.

Chad Perlyn, M.D., President of Nicklaus Children’s Pediatric Specialists, will share with Healthcare Innovation Editor-in-Chief Mark Hagland his perspectives on the role that physician leadership plays in the success of all initiatives around clinical transformation, the push into value-based care delivery and contracting, and all other important change initiatives in patient care organizations these days. He will bring his lived experience of leading a large team of pediatric physicians in South Florida forward into value and organizational change, to this important discussion.

Tony Ambrozie is Senior Vice President and Chief Digital and Information Officer at Baptist Health South Florida. Like some healthcare IT leaders, he came to healthcare after decades in other industries, particularly at the Disney organization in central Florida. Tony will share with Editor-in-Chief Mark Hagland what his journey has been like coming from outside healthcare into the heart of health system IT operations at a large integrated health system, and what kinds of learnings he’s brought into his current role from outside the industry—and what he’s learned since arriving inside healthcare.

Secure your data and recovery in the data center and the cloud

The pace of IT change continues to rise, accelerating in Healthcare often more than other industries. Healthcare data protection strategies have had to evolve to support modern environments in the data center, the cloud and SaaS workloads. This session will show how you can secure everything across all workloads and reduce the reality gap between business expectations and IT capability for disaster recovery. 

Learn how to improve your cyber security posture, reduce vulnerabilities, protect your data, and align your organizational needs with industry best practices. Best practices like data immutability, granular role-based access controls, and broad platform support can ensure your mission-critical data will always be available. 
 

Pioneering patient care organizations are moving ahead to develop strategies to integrate the social determinants of health (SDOH) into their population health management initiatives. A panel of experts will discuss the complexities, challenges, and opportunities in moving forward in this leading-edge area of activity.

The final hour of Day 1 at the Healthcare Innovation Summits will feature 4 dedicated focus group style workshops taking place. Each workshop will explore unique content created by the HI editorial team. The Summit audience will be split up into 4 groups and every 15 minutes the groups will move to the next workshop.

Even as leaders at the most pioneering patient care organizations are moving quickly into artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other advanced analytics strategies, there remains much confusion over which strategies—and technologies—are valuable, and which aren’t. Find out from a panel of experts what’s working and what’s not—and where data analytics is really headed in the next few years.

At a time of extreme pressure and stress for practicing physicians, one of the key areas of focus around the topic of EHR optimization has become the overall effort to avert physician burnout. Among the issues involved:

• First of all, what is physician burnout, in the context of EHR use? What do we know about its causes, and sources of relief?
• What are the key areas in which EHRs can be optimized in the physician workflow, but which still require ongoing effort and strategy?
• What are the leading-edge organizations doing in this area?
• What are the biggest challenges to EHR optimization to improve workflow and ease physician burnout?
• What are the biggest lessons learned so far in this area?
• What does this journey into EHR optimization look like, healthcare system-wide, in the next few years?
