    We'll explore ways our tools can assist care coordination, including clinical communication and collaboration. We'll look at the costs of inefficiencies and silos, as well as the benefits of improving care coordination and clinical communication. Benefits can include more access to patients, more revenue, more efficient and convenient care delivery, and reduced costs and reduced errors (by eliminating redundant tests and procedures). Our solutions enable the secure, compliant, and efficient connection of the various participants who provide service along a patient's journey, which improves outcomes.

    Event Information

    Early in the COVID-19 crisis, ventilators were in short supply as were clinicians to monitor the devices. Hospitals also needed to protect frontline medical staff by limiting their exposure to infected patients. Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) solved this challenge by connecting ventilators to its medical device network and EHR. Staff from YNHH will explain how the medical device integration and redesigned workflow enabled clinicians to surveil ventilated patients in multiple hospitals while being alerted of clinically actionable events, which limited their exposure to the virus and reduced the use of PPE. This complements the health system’s established InSight Tele-ICU program and aligns with the strategic direction of the health system related to telemedicine and data management. Learning Objectives:
    • Understand how cross-departmental collaboration helped support pandemic response and patient care.
    • Understand the potential benefits associated with expanded medical device integration and remote clinical surveillance.
    • Hear how expanded access to live, streaming patient data can support long-term strategic initiatives including predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

    Event Information

    Healthcare IT has the opportunity to leverage chatbots to assist with end-user support. Other industries have already leveraged chatbots to improve customer satisfaction, free up agent time to handle more complex problems, and recognize efficiencies for resource allocation required for support. Chatbots do not need to be difficult to implement. Through leveraging the existing platforms at most healthcare organizations, existing support material, and machine learning, healthcare IT can begin to take advantage of these same opportunities. Learning Objectives:
    • Know the potential benefits to implementing a chatbot for support.
    • Explain the differences between Decision Tree Bots and AI/ML Bots.
    • Learn the key tips and steps for success in implementing a chatbot.

    *This event is full* Hospital and health system IT leaders are caught in the middle of funding models, cost pressures, shifts in patient demographics, and data sharing struggles. This focus group will help you assess your ecosystem and influencers to refine your IT strategic priority initiatives. Our interactive workshop-style discussion will leverage a PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technology, Legal, Environment) analysis as a framework for understanding the broader ecosystem, external impacts, and influencers on your institution. The results of this analysis will help create the appropriate heatmap to prioritize and ensure proper alignment to the enterprise strategies and objectives. After the discussion, you can extend this effort with tools and templates available exclusively through CereCore for continuing the IT implications analysis.

    The CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule was published in May 2020, as part of the 21st Century Cures Act. But many in healthcare don’t fully understand what it is, how to comply with it, and how it differs from its sister rule — the Interoperability, Information Blocking and ONC Health IT Certification Program. This final rule’s goal is to give patients access to their health information. They can then share this access with other clinicians and third-party apps, increasing the data’s portability. CMS begins enforcing this rule in July, 2021, yet there are no off-the-shelf solutions for healthcare organizations to use. This proposed session will share context and background for the rule, explain who must comply, what’s needed to comply, and how to comply. Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the context and background of the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule.
    • Learn what healthcare systems are required to do to comply.
    • Learn how to set up a plan for compliance.

    Health systems have been on a digital transformation journey for the past few years. However, there is no structured framework to assess the maturity of health systems, specifically from a technology enablement standpoint. Damo Consulting's DigiM framework addresses this gap with an online assessment tool that helps healthcare leaders benchmark themselves against their peers. The framework also assesses the relative maturity of the digital transformation vision against the execution of the strategy. Using recently concluded research and data points from self-assessments by several health systems, this session will provide a roadmap for digital transformation leaders looking to take an objective view of their progress and prioritize their investments to meet their enterprise goals. Learning Objectives:
    • Understanding digital maturity in health systems
    • Applying an objective, structured assessment tool such as DigiM to evaluate digital maturity
    • Developing a roadmap for accelerating technology-led transformation

    The world of healthcare IT continues to evolve rapidly to meet the needs of providers dealing with the pandemic head-on. Similar to the adoption of telehealth, EHR support has been deployed virtually in several instances, and proves to yield a great deal of value to both end-users and hospital leadership. ReMedi Health Solutions' virtual support model connects clinicians and EHR specialists face-to-face and computer-to-computer, layered atop a reliable 5G network. The model has offered numerous efficiencies related to support times, problem-resolution efficacy, useful data analytics, and a significant reduction in cost. ReMedi's leadership team will explain the virtual model's ability to provide personalized EHR support based on the end-user, specialty, and departmental workflows. Learning Objectives:
    • Learn how the virtual EHR support model enables healthcare systems to utilize less support resources yet support more end-users
    • Discuss how EHR personalization and optimization becomes even more impactful and convenient for providers to lean into
    • Define the data analytics and feedback loops that become available to hospital leadership, enabling the potential of a "bird's-eye" view of the EHR implementation

    Event Information

    With the unfortunate arrival of the COVID pandemic, telemedicine appears to be the new driving force in the coordination and delivery of care – due to the impacts of required isolation, concern for patients with high care needs, and government intervention. The reality is that the convergence of a generation of people demanding convenience and lower costs, as well as an increase in sophistication and effectiveness of supporting technologies, means providers will continue to be under ‘pull demand’ to change away from primarily destination-based care models in order to lower costs, provide convenience, and to improve care delivery. We’ll discuss examples of supporting technologies, as well as approaches to this journey that can result in providing more effective care. Learning Objectives:
    • Gain further insights into driving forces behind the acceleration of Telemedicine as a model of care delivery; and the opportunities it affords to treat patients more effectively who faced challenges in receiving care in destination-based strategies.
    • Develop further understanding of tools and technologies available to support these care delivery models.
    • Understand key considerations when moving forward in this journey.
