Using Technology in the Home to Provide Cost Effective Care Across the Health System Continuum
An aging population, industry declines in length of stay, and the shift of care to outpatient settings and the home has put a greater emphasis on effectively managing patients outside of the traditional hospital walls. Pay for performance, limited financial reimbursement, and increasing expectations for care delivery has led Partners HealthCare to think outside the box by using technology in the home to manage very sick and costly patients. This presentation is a discussion of how one organization has utilized technology to provide effective care across the continuum using the example of a strategic partnership related to heart failure.

Less Superman, More Clark Kent: Our Toyota Production System Journey
Seattle Children’s Hospital, Research Institute, and Foundation have been engaged in the use of the Toyota Production System (TPS) (aka “Lean” and locally branded as “Continuous Performance Improvement”) since 2001. While most TPS efforts have been focused on clinical areas to date, Drexel DeFord’s recent trip to Japan specifically to study TPS in use at several manufacturing operations kick-started TPS within the Information Services Department.
In this presentation you will take a virtual trip to Japan to learn the difference between TPS “tools” and TPS “thinking”, learn whether or not Americans can adopt this model, whether or not healthcare is too complicated for TPS to work well, and how to start your own TPS program and reap immediate benefits while focusing on long-term success.
Speakers: Drexel DeFord, FCHIME, Senior Vice President & CIO, Seattle Children’s Hospital; Wes Wright, Vice President & CTO, Seattle Children’s Hospital

How CIOs Can Impact Care & Quality Outcomes
Like many provider organizations, St. Joseph Medical Center (SJMC) had a number of clinical, decision support and cost accounting systems supported by facility and corporate IT resources. Because the data was fragmented and not easily accessible, clinical management and physician staff found it challenging to make sense of the data and metrics to drive performance.
SJMC, realizing the need for greater transparency and accountability, implemented a unifying analytics platform across the organization. This afforded SJMC physicians the ability to measure their own performance relative to their peers and department benchmarks using robust scorecards. Clinical decision-makers had instant access to timely data, could easily identify patterns and anomalies and drill down into the root causes of problems. This session offers a case study look at how hospital CIOs can impact patient care, quality, and outcomes while maintaining cost-effective practices.
Speakers: Richard Boehler, M.D., Vice President, Medical Affairs & CMO, St. Joseph Medical Center; Rick Schooler, Vice President & CIO, Orlando Health

Doing More with Less: Leveraging Data Analytics & BI for Strategic Gain
While hospitals and health systems have always been under tremendous pressure to reduce cost without impacting quality or financial performance, the current economic times have only exacerbated those pressures. Most hospital and health systems’ information systems generate tons of data. Yet few truly leverage that data beyond its prime transactional purpose. This presentation provides a systematic approach to leveraging the data that is generated within a hospital or health system to get better results.
Speakers: Jyoti Kamal, Ph.D., President & CTO, Health Care DataWorks, LLC;
Herb Smaltz, Ph.D., CIO, The Ohio State University Medical Center

Greg Walton, executive VP and CIO of El Camino Hospital, will explore his organization’s vision for bringing together disparate data to meet both clinical and business objectives that are not being addressed by the myriad vendors and products currently in place at this prominent Silicon Valley hospital. Pioneering the use of several aggregation solutions, Walton will outline the obstacles and benefits achieved so far by his organization. Walton, along with Kent Gale, founder and chairman of the healthcare research firm KLAS will provide an overview of the aggregation market for business intelligence and clinician/patient care solutions.
Speakers: Kent Gale, Founder & Chairman of the Board, KLAS; Greg Walton, CIO, El Camino Hospital

Do You Tweet? Social Media & its Impact on Healthcare IT & Clinical Care
Electronic media vehicles introduced in the past few years have drastically changed the way people communicate. Social media, like LinkedIn, Twitter, FaceBook, and dozens of others are affecting healthcare and healthcare IT. Hospital IT departments are assigning staff members to be their “social media experts” and assist staff members with their needs. Physicians are using Twitter during surgeries to keep family members updated. HR departments are finding LinkedIn a valuable resource for IT recruitment. Hospitals are establishing FaceBook pages to as a method of enhancing their identity and visibility online, and working with community networks via a variety of social media communications. And CIOs are branding themselves internally and externally through blogs. This session will examine how low/no cost social media is affecting hospitals and in particular, IT departments.
Speakers: Steve Bennett, Vice President, Kirby Partners, Inc.; David Holland, Vice President & CIO, Southern Illinois Healthcare

Classic Decisions in EMR Implementation
When the seven hospital, 110 physician practice Carilion Health System reinvented itself as Carilion Clinic in 2006, it had all of the tools it needed except an integrated, longitudinal medical record. Within 24 months, Carilion Clinic’s IT team began one of the larger and faster EMR implementation projects in the U.S. that included:
- No outside contractors
- Developing and implementing the EMR in physician practices and hospitals simultaneously
- Implementing full hospital billing and professional billing on the same EMR
- Choosing its largest hospital as the first one to implement – the 880 bed Carilion Medical Center
- Simultaneously building a secondary data center to ensure operational continuity and protect the patient data
This presentation outlines the key choices health systems face during a major EMR implementation and uses Carilion Clinic’s experiences to explore the risks and benefits of bold decisions, valuable information to anyone accelerating their EMR deployment for ARRA.
Speakers: Daniel Barchi, Senior Vice President & CIO, Carilion Clinic

HITECH: Lessons Learned on Getting Value from a Flawed Strategy
The objectives of the ARRA with regards to healthcare are laudable. They also parallel those of similar programs in the UK and Canada in the last 6 years. The features and character of the American health system are unique, but the tools, techniques and strategies being deployed have many similarities across these three countries. In this session, you will learn from presenters who have worked in all three countries across their respective health departments, as provider leaders and as vendors.
At the conclusion of the session, you will understand which parts of HITECH are more likely to succeed and which parts are not, based on the evidence of prior similar attempts. You will be able to judge where their main areas of focus might return the best value to you institution in the area of national standards-based health IT.
Speakers: Archie Galbraith, CTO, UCLA Medical Sciences; Andy Truscott, Senior Manager, Accenture

The Economic Stimulus Package: Proactively Assessing and Implementing a Strategy to Maximize Full Potential While Fulfilling the Intent of “Meaningful Use”
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), also known as the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP) presents a once in a career opportunity to drive major positive change throughout healthcare organizations. Atlantic Health, a technology leader, has taken a deliberate approach to understanding the emerging details and ramifications of the ESP for their organization. An assessment of the best approach positioned Atlantic Health to benefit from the ESP at the earliest possible time, while staying aligned with the package’s intent which is ultimately to drive improved clinical outcomes for the community they serve.
Atlantic Health quickly repositioned their strategy to align with the currently known elements of the ESP, and maximized the potential to benefit from the ESP. In parallel, Atlantic Health reaffirmed their original focus to implement technology with the intention of driving full adoption and improving clinical outcomes. Taken together these attributes serve as the foundation of the definition of “meaningful use” of healthcare technology. Going forward, Atlantic Health is well positioned to maintain an agile approach to their strategic plan and portfolio as their understanding of the impact of the ESP continues to evolve.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand where your organization fits into the stimulus package
-
Obtaining incentives or avoiding penalties
- Importance of assessing ARRA readiness in order to align the IT strategy and project portfolio
- Value of relationships with key political leaders, advocacy organizations, and vendors
- Need to manage organizational expectations in response to changes
