Presentation Topic: The New Medical Image Archive
Topic Overview: The technology for acquiring, storing, retrieving, displaying, and distributing images has advanced dramatically in recent years. The push is toward enterprise-wide image management solutions, where digital images from radiology, cardiology, and other "ologies" are seamlessly linked with information from clinical information systems and other databases, and they are accessed seamlessly from a single point of end-user interaction. The "gold standard" of system integration would provide the platform for improved workflow, patient throughput and patient safety, as well as decreased cost. The guiding principle for the proposed Medical Image Archive (MIA) is a non-disruptive, evolutionary implementation that ensures ubiquitous, secure and timely access to medical images from various classical PACS systems and other registered image viewing applications. The suggested MIA will not substitute or eliminate the need for PACS systems and does not represent a medical device in the definition of the FDA, but rather an archival middleware that can be used simultaneously by various PACS and other medical image generating systems.
Other area's that may be a part of the presentation and have an impact on the storage requirement or present solutions:
- IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise)
- The DICOM Integration Challenge
- Enterprise Medical Data
- SaaS

- Cloud Storage
- Pathology

Presentation Topic: Caregiver Mobility and Security in Healthcare
Topic Overview: As caregivers move through the healthcare environment, approximately 90 minutes a day are spent logging into and out of applications. The first few minutes of provider/patient interaction are often wasted logging in and locating patient data. A better alternative gives caregivers the flexibility to move between locations yet retain active application sessions in order to deliver more efficient patient care. More time can be spent with patients, and more patients can be seen in the course of the day.
The hospital of the future allows caregivers to move easily from office to nurses station to patient room with the right applications at their fingertips, and without fear of security compromises and violations. The computing environment is less complex, more flexible, and less costly to manage and refresh because applications are managed centrally instead of at each workstation.
Sun present its approach with the Sun Ray Virtual Desktop infrastructure, which eases the burden on IT support, lowers energy consumption and improves staff productivity. |

Let Automation Assist in ‘Triaging’ your Self-Pay Accounts |

GHFMA Presenter & RA Solution Consultant

Nashville, TN |
Overview: This Session will appeal to anyone interested in ideas on how to compress their Accounts Receivable Days associated with the unfunded or self pay segment by the use of automation and various business intelligence tools available today.
With the increase in the volume of unfunded patients most providers are seeing these days, it may be time to consider how automation can assist in the ‘triage’ of those accounts quickly and efficiently, thereby introducing a ‘work flow by exception’ process versus the need to handle or ‘touch’ each record individually. |
