Healthcare Innovation 2015 – Mobile, Secure, Interoperable, Coordinated

See links in agenda below to download slide presentations.

Digital health is hot. So is shifting from fee-based to value-based reimbursement models. Rock Health reports that in 2014, “...venture funding for digital health companies surpassed $4.1B, nearly the total of all three prior years combined. This represents a 125% YoY growth in funding compared to 2013.” http://rockhealth.com/2015/01/digital-health-funding-tops-4-1b-2014-year-review/

These advanced tools and technologies are aimed at delivering faster and better care while reducing healthcare costs. Yet with all of the potential benefits of these advancements, there is still a remarkably low adoption rate. This supports the belief that higher adoption and widespread use are still waiting for medical professionals to become familiar with the new technologies and the devices to become more mainstream and accessible.

Northern California HIMSS is hosting its 3rd Annual Innovation Showcase. Last year’s event was sold-out and we had to turn away people at the door. Register early to reserve your place to hear leading physicians and recognized national experts give their perspectives on:

  • How major health systems think about innovating and applying HIT to the delivery of care
  • “Consumer-grade” vs “Industrial-grade” wearables - the truth about their ability to accurately measure parameters and affect outcomes
  • How technology is helping us get to precision medicine now and tomorrow
  • How we should design for the coming wave of lab-on-a-chip apps and data
  • Building security into innovations, instead of “bolting on” afterwards
  • How clinical performance can be improved with care management systems

Also see winning team designs from the HIMSS Northern California sponsored healthcare track at the Virtual Reality Hackathon and recent Philips Digital HealthSuite Hackathon (invited).

Continuing Education Credits Available for CPHIMS and CAHIMS

Agenda 

11:30 Registration Opens & Lunch is served for attendees, Sponsor Booths Open

12:30 Welcome & Sponsor Recognition

12:45 Keynote - Major Health System View of Innovation

  • Chris Furmanski Ph.D., Director, Innovation & Technology, Stanford Health Care 

Consumerism in healthcare is having it’s day with “creating a great patient experience” -- one of the leading mantras.  Blending this with federal incentive programs, greater access to information and services, and more choices has challenged health systems and clinicians to adopt, use, and interoperate with new information technologies.  This keynote will touch on some common limitations, dissect the competing interests, review key opportunities and offer some competitive models that are getting traction.

1:30 Security for Healthcare Technology Innovation    SLIDES

  • Mike McAlpen, Executive Director, Information Security & Compliance, 8x8, Inc.

Security needs to be designed into innovations, not “bolted on” afterwards.  Learn how to understand and mitigate potential threats to data integrity and accessibility, as well as privacy.

2:00 Mobile and Remote Monitoring for Disease Management

Fireside Chat with:

  • Rajiv Kumar, MD, Medical Director of Mobile Health, Stanford Children's Health
  • Matthew Smuck MD, Dir. Center for Medical Mobile Technology, Stanford
  • Moderated by David Snyder

Remote monitoring of patients depends on verified accuracy of data, reliability of the technology, and security.  This session will address real world clinical design considerations and the application of “consumer grade” verses “industrial grade” monitoring technology, including its impact on workflow, usability, and scale.  

2:40 CPHIMS Recognition / HIMSS Continuing Education / CPHIMS, FHIMS Certifications

2:55 Networking Break

3:30 Care Management and Personalization of Care

  • Martin Entwistle MD, Executive Director, Personalized Healthcare Plans, Sutter Health
  • Ron Razmi MD, CEO, Acupera
  • Moderated by: Jim Bloedau

For care teams to deliver better clinical outcomes and successfully manage patient populations, compressing workflows and finding the technology to personalize care is key in the shift from volume to value healthcare.  This session will share thoughts and successes in managing and monitoring patient populations and the IT tools to get us to the next level.

4:10 Announcements

  • VR Hackathon Winner Recognition
  • HIMSS National Conference in Chicago (April 12-16)
  • April 14th NorCal/SoCal Networking Reception
  • June 4th NorCal/SoCal HIMSS Patient Engagement Conference

4:25 Unleashing Clinical Performance with Analytics

  • Richard Hu, MD, Founder and CEO, Vivametrica & Clinical Professor, Department of Surgery, University of Calgary
  • Bob Rogers PhD, Chief Data Scientist for Big Data Solutions, Intel & founder of Apixio
  • Michael Aratow, MD - Moderator

To improve clinical performance, having an analytics strategy with a clear understanding of the right sources of data is key to any organization’s or product’s development.  Data utilization, cultivating buy-in, and planning for new innovations are a few of the topics for this session.

5:00 Silicon Valley HIT Innovation Showcase & Reception

  • 10+ SV HIT Vendors to showcase their innovative products
