Opening Keynote: Saving $300 Billion in costs - US Healthcare in the Crosshairs

9/20/2009 6:50:00 PM

While there is tremendous initial excitement about EMR reimbursements, the ARRA stimulus bill is a double edged sword for providers. The ARRA also assumes $300 billion dollar in savings as a result of improved Healthcare IT. Provider and payer organizations are going to need to make significant changes in technology and business practices that go well beyond EMR deployment and "meaningful use" if they expect to be successful in the years to come. This presentation will focus on the new business pressures and IT requirements facing us all over the next decade as we try to reduce healthcare costs.

Hospitals are making significant investments in new infrastructure to optimize operations, streamline communication, and improve outcomes. The need to reduce costs while meeting new user requirements is a challenge for even the most capable organization. Adding capabilities like CPOE, and advanced integration with third parties to qualify for stimulus money is also driving an accelerated replacement cycle for legacy architectures. Join us for a discussion of how innovative health organizations are utilizing infrastructure upgrades and enhancements to better meet the needs of patients while also improving the operations, communications, and quality of care at their institutions.

Mobility and Tele-health Panel

9/21/2009 12:00:00 PM

Two recent changes to the Medicare regulations governing reimbursement for telemedicine services are expected to spur growth in the adoption of telemedicine technology. Up until now, telemedicine's greatest adoption challenge has been the limited degree of third-party reimbursement for such services. This discussion will also evolve around technology adoption and trends such as the mobile clinical assistant (MCA) reference architecture.

Meaningful Use & Meaningful Results from Electronic Health Records, followed by a Panel Discussion

9/21/2009 5:20:00 PM

With the passing of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in February 2009, U.S. provider organizations were granted a unique opportunity to recoup costs associated with the acquisition and implementation of much-needed EHR technology. However, the requirements for eligibility for ARRA payments include tight implementation deadlines alongside requirements for the demonstration of "meaningful use." These two requirements seem contradictory, as in practice, rushed IT implementations have historically meant less-than-optimal results. For this reason, it is critical that U.S. providers making EHR investments and implementations under ARRA deadlines leverage the learnings and best practices among existing early adopters in the industry. This will help ensure that their organizations achieve both statutory meaningful use and meaningful results from their EHR investments. U.S. providers clearly cannot afford a second chance to acquire and leverage EHR capabilities. This presentation will:
