"Building a Physician Bridge to CPOE and “Meaningful Use” utilizing Microsoft Technologies and Frameworks"

The Clinical Online Deliver System (CODS) developed as a physician "bridge" strategy for Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) at St. Vincent Health is a SharePoint portal site that allows physicians to select their desired order items online (based on InfoPath Form technology) and enables them to print a legible customized form of hospital admitting or transfer orders for their signature. The design solves form template versioning, reducing the need to have many paper copies of order sets on the units at multiple hospitals sites, and offers a downtime option that could be deployable post-CPOE go-live. A standard managed InfoPath 2007 form was created to support the initial data pull and population to the form before saving into the Form Library held within SharePoint 2007. During this presentation, you will hear how St. Vincent Health utilized Microsoft SharePoint and InfoPath Forms technologies to build a solution that allows physicians on-line access to evidence-based order sets and clinical decision support, presented via their Physician Portal.

“Member Communications for a Healthy Bottom Line”

Today’s healthcare companies face a variety of challenges including rising member expectations and controlling communication costs. To succeed in this complex and dynamic industry, leading healthcare organizations are looking for software solutions that can increase sales, help ensure regulatory requirements are met, streamline communications and above all, strengthen member relationships. 

Implementing a document automation solution that enables healthcare insurers to drive behavior change through effective messaging is paramount to survival and growth. Targeted, relevant communications lead to increased readership and engagement which in turn allows more opportunities to provide guidance and change member behavior. Ultimately, the results are better customer retention, savings for members, and more renewals and referrals.

This session will focus on how these business challenges can be solved using a proven single, software solution for interactive correspondence generated by customer-facing staff with the straight-through high-volume and on-demand processing of the back-office to create effective member communications for a healthy bottom line.

"Using Portals to Enable Physicians to Make Informed Decisions"

Physician Portals enable physicians to be more effective and make better informed decisions. Join Open Text for a discussion on how a large healthcare provider in the Southeast United States implemented a Physicians’ Portal to streamline and simplify both clinical and administrative tasks for physicians while at the same time ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing physician satisfaction.  Our customer implementation of the Physicians’ Portal has delivered physician productivity improvements and considerable cost advantage while providing robust functionality and scalability for future growth.

VIP Luncheon + Executive Think-Tank (Think-Tank, invitation only)

Healthcare and Life Sciences organizations have the opportunity to improve health promotion and care delivery by using more individualized patient information and clinical knowledge to help promote patient-centered health and predict, prevent, aid in early detection, treat and manage diseases, in other words, personalized healthcare (PHC). This Forum will review and discuss the findings of a new study that explores health information (HIT) environment need to support PHC, including the corresponding opportunities and challenges for various stakeholders.

Improving Patient Care through Mobility- Anytime, Anywhere, Collaborative Communication

Whether it’s used by patients and family or clinicians and staff , Health Information Technology departments continue to rollout PACS, electronic medical records, and innovative computer based services. Unfortunately, in our consumer-driven IT world, the bar keeps getting set higher – from desktops to laptops to netbooks, from Blackberrys to Iphones, work at home or work anywhere. How are healthcare organizations dealing with increased mobility; what technologies have made a difference, and what have been the pitfalls? The panel will look at mobility in healthcare from the patient, clinician, and administrator perspective. What’s been working, why, and where are we headed?

• Delivering Information: Anytime, Anywhere
• Enhance enterprise agility
• Migration from the desktop
• Improve team collaboration, responsiveness and accuracy at the Point of Care
• Event-driven, real-time notification and patient care alerts intelligently routed to appropriate user

"Are Your Printers and Copiers a Liability?"
The answer:  A resounding yes. 

Unless you implement a document output security strategy that helps ensure the privacy of patient protected health information (PHI) across your entire network. Without controls in place, printers and copiers can be conduits into a system’s protected environment.  It’s vital you know who printed what and when … And just as important to ensure PHI is never left in output trays. Prompted by new legislation and the ever-looming HIPAA requirements, every healthcare facility must address these challenges... Or face the consequences ---Fines, bad public relations, and even jail.

So what can you do to not only protect confidential documents, but also make access to printing more secure and convenient – all while more effectively managing costs?

“Managed Services & Outsourcing in a Challenging Climate"

Healthcare companies must carefully pick the spots where it can cut costs and where to continue – or even accelerate – investment. What providers and payers may have to give up in coming months and years is the idea that they need to own and operate the systems that underlie their operations. The reality is that much of this infrastructure is non-strategic, non-standard, and lacks the scale needed for operational efficiency.

A new generation of outsourced services that remove these tired assets from provider balance sheets and operate them as shared managed services potentially provides a high road for the effective management of resources during the recession, and sets the stage for growth in less encumbered areas once the economy rebounds.

"The Role of Dynamic Data Centers & Virtualization in Healthcare- Increasing Revenue While Decreasing Capital and Operational Expenditure"

Every healthcare organization runs on data and more of it each day, driving the deployment of larger numbers of servers, massive increases in storage and the development of new applications to glean intelligence from disparate data sets. The need to use resources most cost-effectively during the scaling of data and data centers forces the move to virtualization--of servers, storage, networks, and even data centers themselves in the form of cloud computing. This panel explores the following:

• Why Virtualize? Assessing your server and storage landscape, capacity planning tools, and operations before and after virtualization
• Network and virtualization security considerations
• Disaster Recovery--designing a backup and recovery strategy
• The impact of virtualization on data center facilities, power, and cooling

"Enabling the Integrated Digital Hospital"

Healthcare providers are challenged every day to enhance quality of care, optimize workflows, and improve access to services. IT can play a significant role in reaching these goals, including empowering providers with real-time access to digitized information to improve clinical decision making.
But deploying electronic medical records and other digital health technologies requires much more than just hardware and software. Transitioning to an integrated digital hospital requires interoperable, standards-based digital technologies, comprehensive solutions, careful planning, and significant culture change.

"Transforming Healthcare through the Transition of a PHC System"

To succeed in transforming healthcare, we need to move to a personalized healthcare (PHC) system. Such a system should evolve rapidly, encouraging innovation and incorporating advanced clinical knowledge based on medical, genetic and lifestyle information from both individual patients and larger populations to create a patient-centric, value-based, affordable, sustainable, and rapidly-learning healthcare system. A PHC system will depend on the extensive, appropriate use of health information technology (HIT). The current HIT environment faces five major challenges that impede progress toward such a system.
