Thought Leadership Plenary Session and Senior Executive Focus Groups
Monday 21st November

Cloud, Mobility and the Health IT Landscape
Mark Blatt, MD, Worldwide Medical Director, Intel Corporation
The Cloud is rapidly developing as an alternative way to deliver computing power to the Enterprise. At the same time the service demands on Enterprise Healthcare Institutions are also growing. More patients need access to healthcare; quality needs to improve and costs need to be constrained.
Collaborative workflows, an “Efficient” approach to care delivery with an agile responsive ICT infrastructure that crosses functional silos, are one of the changes that Healthcare IT leaders need to understand as they move forward.
Can services delivered out of the cloud, help Enterprises Healthcare Organizations better coordinate care and give them the flexibility and costs advantages they need to meet growing clinical demands? Can this be done safely? Can mobile computing tools help coordinate care across the Care continuum? What compute models are best suited to deliver these services to multiple stakeholders across multiple venues? What decisions do Organizations have to consider now?
Hear what you can do now to start computing securely out of the cloud and across the Healthcare continuum. How can your organization thrive over the next decade?

Patient records: In search for the single source of truth
Dr. Kip Webb, MD, MPH, Managing Partner Provider Clinical Solutions, Accenture
Participants:
Prof. Xavier Pastor, MD, CMIO, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain
Jari Renko,CIO at Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) Finland
Lone Tynan,Program director for EMR, Odense University Hospital, Denmark
Whether patients move from one department to another within a single provider group, or between different providers and physicians, patient records should be easily available to all relevant medical staff at all times. The reality is that the fragmented EMR (Electronic Medical Record) landscape leads to avoidable mortality due to medical errors, and avoidable costs. Not only should EMR systems make administrative patient management processes more efficient, but they should enable the best possible workflow for clinicians, and result in truly optimized care based on a “single source of truth” for patient data.
Fragmentation, complexity and cost pressures are the consequence of some providers owning up to 100 different EMR systems, a trend that must be reversed. Therefore it is crucial to make EMR implementations patient-centric, rather than provider-centric or even department-centric. The electronic flow of health related data across the continuum of care improves the quality and efficiency of healthcare service delivery.
The Accenture focus group will discuss the burning platform of losses in efficiency and health risks resulting from silos of information, and hear perspectives as well as real life experiences of multiple sources of truth or fragmented EMR systems from stakeholders such as clinicians and suppliers. Finally we will discuss a roadmap towards more integrated EMR systems - and what is needed to achieve them.
Global Perspectives: Unlocking Value in Clinical, Financial and Administrative Data through Information Exchange and Analytics
Nam D. Vo, St. Director of Healthcare, Oracle Corporation, Health Sciences Global Business Unit
This focus group will discuss leveraging information exchange and enterprise analytics to create a detailed, holistic and integrated view of the care continuum. Discussion will include how global organizations, regions and nations can, and are, integrating existing health information, populating a healthcare data model to analyze internal and external information sources and ultimately gaining additional value from EMRs, clinical departmental systems, back office and research for actionable information in near-real time. Best practices for connecting and analyzing health information garnered from international community case studies will be examined for European application.
Building The Next Generation EPR, Electronic Patient Record
Dr. Zafar Chaudry, MD, MSc, MBA. CIO Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation trust, UK
The discussion will be to describe Alder Hey's journey to the EPR and digitisation of it's paper records. Dr. Chaudry will discuss how Perceptive software and MEDITECH 5.64 were combined to deliver an EPR with 300,000 paper records digitised, delivered to clinical staff at the point of care, and built in Alder Hey's next generation Enterprise Infrastructure in a private Cloud.
