The theme of this years’ conference is “Change is all around us”. The landscape of healthcare is changing. How do we keep up and make sense of the HIT alphabet soup (ARRA, HITECH, HIE, NHIN, CPT10, HIPAA 5010, etc.) and plan a roadmap to get us to "meaningful use"?
-
How do we drive clinician adoption and improve clinical outcomes through information technology?
-
Where is the logical place for the HIE, and how do you build a sustainable model?
-
How has HITECH impacted privacy and security requirements?
-
How will we meet the requirements for quality reporting and pay for performance changes?
-
What will the impact of incentive payments be on physicians and hospitals?
Technology offers a compelling cure for many of the tough challenges facing today's healthcare organizations, including expanding industry regulations, heightened patient safety concerns, staffing shortages and a constant need to contain costs. Broad use of Healthcare Information Technology has the potential to improve healthcare quality, prevent medical errors, increase the efficiency of care provision and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs, increase administrative efficiencies, decrease paperwork, expand access to affordable care and improve population health. The benefits of appropriate sharing of health information among patients, physicians and other authorized participants in the healthcare delivery value chain are nearly universally understood and desired.
