 |
| Presentation Topic: Care Collaboration Technology for Meaningful Use and Financial Returns |
| Overview: Care collaboration is the important theme for Meaningful Use metrics. The exchange of clinical information needs to occur between providers and patients that typically cross organizational boundaries and IT systems. In addition, as provider organizations need to grow referrals to address financial challenges caused by the market competition and payers, care collaboration is critical to building a solid network and to ensure long term success. In this presentation, Dr. Li will describe how IBM and Carefx use advanced care collaboration technology and work with a large safety net hospital to build a stronger referral network and deliver advanced care management solutions. |

| Presentation Topic: Managing, Storing, Sharing Medical Images for Quality Care |
| Overview: To save lives and reduce the risks/costs of ordering duplicate tests, clinical images need to be readily available to the Electronic Health Record, and easily shared between providers and with health information exchanges. The costs of storing, securing and managing digital image data is staggering and growing rapidly. Industry estimates this data is being created at a rate of 60GB per bed per year. Because of the difficulty of clinical storage management and the potential use for future research, in most cases, retention is “forever”. A vendor neutral, PACS neutral, Enterprise Image Management Archive can address these issues. Logicalis/TeraMedica |

Topic: HITECH and Health Reform: How Grady Health System is moving
from Meaningful Use to Innovation |

|
| Presentation Topic: Health Care Reform: Transforming challenges into opportunities |
| Overview: In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which represented the largest change to America’s healthcare system since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid. While there are many impacts on healthcare providers contained in the legislation, these three areas present the most financial risk and require significant process innovation to accomplish legislative requirements: Delivery System Reforms; Quality, Disparities, and Comparative Effectiveness; and Regulatory Oversight and Program Integrity. This presentation will detail the specific provider requirements and risks under PPACA, the solutions that Microsoft and our partners have developed to address these challenges and examples of customers who have used these technologies to make significant clinical and financial progress. |

| Presentation Topic: Sensor Networking & Impending Connectivity Crisis |
| Overview: Sensor networking enables timely acquisitions of key information on a patient’s condition as well as distribution of this information to key clinical staff members to provide improved care for the patients. However, the explosion of sensors in Hospitals as well as homes is leading to tremendous demands on new connectivity and performance of data networks and can completely swamp today’s network deployments. New approaches needed and will be discussed and addressed during this session. |

 |
| Presentation Topic: Promoting Interoperability with Registry Technologies |
Overview: Medicaid and Medicare cost are escalating. State tax revenues are declining. And, while no silver bullet for long term sustainability exists, stimulus funding from both the ONC and CMS are motivating states to adopt health information exchange (HIE). 50 states can mean 50 approaches, but common challenges will lead to common solutions. In all states there are common denominators - the client, the provider, the patient. Registry technologies create a unified view of a person, whether as a patient, a Medicaid beneficiary or a provider, across disparate source systems to enable effective information sharing including results routing, secure messaging, user authentication, benefits coordination and fraud detection. This presentation will discuss the important roles that registry technologies and record locator services play in HIE, especially in light of ONC requirements to effectively share data with state agencies, with neighboring states and with federal agencies. Attendees will learn how registry technologies, both patient and provider, enhance an HIE’s ability to:
1. Govern data through reconciling data from disparate source systems ranging from providers to payers to state or federal agencies
2. Allow multiple stakeholders to take advantage of accurate, trustworthy data
3. Recognize patterns that may point to fraud being enacted by patients or providers
4. Implement meaningful message routing, as well as authentication and security measures
5. Connect with State Medicaid agencies to improve benefits coordination. |
