General Session: Interoperability in an HIE Environment - Today and Tomorrow
Location: Woodrow Wilson A

"Health information should follow the patient, and artificial obstacles – technical, business-related and bureaucratic – should not get in the way."

The US healthcare system has struggled to develop sustainable relationships, practices and technology infrastructure to breakdown these obstacles that act as barriers to effective exchange of health information. Complex data ownership and security issues have been compounded by politics and a lack of funding and across-the-board standards. The HITECH Act and subsequent Meaningful Use requirements aim to tackle this issue through a series of proposed Health Information Exchange-related objectives that hospitals must meet to become eligible for incentive programs provided through ARRA.

This presentation will provide insight into providers' perceptions of HIE based on the results of a hospital executive study conducted by Porter Research and its partner Billian's HealthDATA. The study examined providers' perceptions of HIE with regard to:
* Concerns, challenges and roadblocks
* Healthcare IT vendor preparedness
* Impact of the HITECH Act and Meaningful Use legislation on HIE strategy and planning

The presentation will be followed by a short panel moderated by Cynthia Porter featuring several hospital CIOs, who will respond to the study's results and give their views on how current and future healthcare reform impacts their organizations.

Keynote: Architecture for tomorrow- The Medical Grade Cloud
Location: Woodrow Wilson A

Speaker: Scott Lundstrum- IDC
New requirements driven by reform and fueled by stimulus, have many healthcare institutions focused on making significant upgrades to their existing infrastructure. Meaningful use guidelines require widespread integration with a host of other providers, labs, pharmacies, and patients. Private and public cloud architectures are being considered by a growing number of organizations as a possible solution for this challenge. Even if you don’t own and operate a cloud, you will certainly begin to use cloud based services from others.

This presentation will:
• Highlight options and key decisions in selecting an architectural approach
• Discuss pros and cons of various deployment models for health
• Examine some early projects and vendor offerings
• Focus on health specific requirements that create unique challenges for users and suppliers

Provider Breakout: "EMR as a Service"
Location: Woodrow Wilson A

Speaker: Judy Hanover- IDC
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 creates unprecedented opportunities for providers to obtain government incentive payments for implementing and demonstrating meaningful use of EMRs in the inpatient and ambulatory setting. As a result, providers have, in ever-increasing numbers, begun to acquire and implement EMR, CPOE and HIE technology. The incentives present a unique opportunity for providers to leverage EMR technology to create more efficient businesses, alongside higher performing, safer and better quality care delivery. However, many approaches to EMR exist, and providers may be able to build competitive advantage through the use of service-based EMR offerings. The advantages of EMR-as-a-service can include faster and more agile implementations, lower support costs, higher performance, and improved user adoption and satisfaction, alongside the financial advantages of a lower initial investment in applications, hardware and infrastructure. This presentation will include data on recent trends in provider adoption of EMR-as-a-service offerings as well as a definition and discussion of the different types of service-based EMR offerings, the advantages and drawbacks of the approach, and essential guidance on how providers can leverage EMR-as-a-service to build competitive advantage for their organizations.


4:20 pm - 5:20 pm
Payer Breakout: "Innovative collaborations to deliver healthcare value"
Location: Woodrow Wilson D

We are seeing a seismic shift in the US healthcare industry, which faces the most sweeping changes in its history. CIOs of health care payers and providers are going to have to enter strategic collaborations to meet the requirements of recent legislation, (e.g. ICD-10), and to derive the benefits that the new healthcare IT technology promises, (e.g. EMRs, HIEs). In this session, we will explore current and potential avenues of cross payor-provider collaborations such as ICD-10, HIEs, payment innovation etc..

General Session: "Succeeding in the healthcare IT revolution"
Location: Woodrow Wilson A

A new health care environment is emerging in the United States. These are times of challenge - and opportunity - for healthcare CIOs. The bar has been raised significantly on IT requirements for successful heath care organizations, (e.g. new IT-enabled operating models, unprecedented level of information sharing across stakeholders). In this new order, IT will be at the center of how information is structured and flows among numerous participants. For providers, government incentives and mandates are adding to a compelling case for Health Information Technology (HIT) implementation. For payers, new legislative requirements will impact over 80% of their application architecture. Addressing these needs in the short time frame set by the law represents an unprecedented challenge. As a result, CIOs have an opportunity to take on a prominent role, to step up and lead important parts of the discussion, and to help shape how reform is implemented. In this session, we will explore leading case examples, key success factors, critical challenges, and the range of outcomes of some transformational IT programs among leading providers and leading payers.

Insurer Breakout: "Efficiency and Actionable Information: The Technology Platform for the Reforming Market"
Location: Woodrow Wilson D

Speaker: Janice Young- IDC
The US Health Reform Law requires new insurance access, new benefit programs, demonstrated efficiencies, and better outcomes. Better business intelligence information within the healthcare payer organization and more timely "actionable advice" to payer customers and partners are the cornerstone to success in the reform era. Healthcare payers are dramatically restaging business and technology priorities to address reform demands and to take advantage of opportunities. In response, vendors are also shifting technology delivery strategies and business, acquisition, and partnership models.

This presentation will:
• Present the emerging technology platform for the healthcare reform era
• Assess related vendor market and technology changes
• Project the 5-10 year technology evolution and payer adoption model

Provider Breakout: Health IT Considerations for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
Location: Woodrow Wilson A

ACO’s are being piloted through a number of programs around the country. While they have different areas of focus, all have one thing in common: a total reliance on health information technology particularly for population health data management. Whether building new population health systems from scratch or interfacing legacy systems, organizations need a roadmap to identify and integrate these systems with a host of disparate internal and external data streams for effective operation. This session, presented from a physician organization perspective, will focus on efforts to date in one such pilot, provide examples of existing population health data management reports, and propose a conceptual model for an ACO IT Architecture.

Insurer Breakout: Connected Health IT Strategies: What Role will Healthcare Players Play?
Location: Woodrow Wilson D

Speaker: Lynne Dunback- IDC

The perfect alignment of drivers — health reform, cost, access, increased focus on managing chronic conditions, and an aging population — will help healthcare payers justify investment in connected health IT strategies. These market forces, combined with successful pilot results that demonstrate economic and clinical benefit, will also drive payers to reimburse providers for such services, eliminating the financial disincentives that cause providers to treat chronically ill patients in traditional, and more expensive, care settings to be reimbursed.

This presentation will:

• Present an overview of the connected health market and its components.
• Discuss the key trends driving connected health and the impact of legislation, including American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and health reform, on the outlook for connected health.
• Examine some notable payer-sponsored connected health pilot projects.
