Nearly 20% of all records are duplicated within a typical health system—risking patient safety and driving up costs to clean them up--$1,200 per record. Healthcare’s identity crisis persists despite enterprise master patient indexes (EMPI) and advances in patient matching technology, including within EHR systems.

This latent yet significant challenge is getting increased attention in the industry and among regulators, particularly by HHS and ONC as they implement the 21st Century Cures Act. Through advances in referential matching and cloud-based technology, there is an opportunity to improve interoperability, cost efficiency, and patient matching accuracy to 98%+.

This focus group will bring together health systems technology leaders to discuss the current state of identity management strategies and technologies, as well as opportunities to improve and innovate within key provider workflows, such as patient scheduling and registration and health information management.

Learning Objectives

1. Insight on how health systems and provider organizations are managing patient identity - including patient matching and master person index / data management
2. Insight on how third party data and referential matching technology can improve patient matching accuracy
3. Insight on how provider organizations can improve key workflows in patient scheduling and registration and health information management to improve cost and patient identity management effectiveness.

​We have been in a defensive asymmetrical battle with an increasingly more sophisticated threat landscape. For the most part our security approach has been a fundamentally reactive model over the past 20 years. Cost and complexity have continued to increase while applications are now layered in software and platform.

Are there more effective ways to protect our modern applications when applications span multiple centers of data?

What if we as an industry could reduce the attack surface while changing the dynamics of these threats to a proactive approach?

In this session you will learn how new tools and methodologies can provide application knowledge, telemetry along AI and Machine Learning to fundamentally change the approach to protect and adapt to this ever-changing threat landscape.

A recent study of health care organizations around the country found that 92% of providers are concerned about the CMS hospital price transparency rule. A full 43% were also unsure how to publish their pricing information with 65% reporting that they do not believe their prices are defendable.

Many organizations see the pricing strategy as a function of the revenue cycle and finance departments but CIOs can play a large role in the organization’s pricing strategy by ensuring accurate data is available for decision making.

Join us for a discussion about the elements of a sound and defendable pricing strategy from an operational and systems perspective.

Learning Objective #1  Explain elements of a cohesive pricing strategy

Learning Objective #2  Identify barriers to a cohesive pricing strategy (operational and systems

Learning Objective #3  Describe a roadmap to a transparent pricing strategy that the organization can defend

Healthcare is in the early stages of a digital transformation. However, the definition of digital varies from health system to health system, as does the implementation of digital programs. CIO's are driving digital transformation in many health systems. They are responsible for developing a digital roadmap for the enterprise and working with cross-functional stakeholders to implement the roadmap.

The online focus group discussion will aim to assess the current state of digital transformation in healthcare and to gather valuable feedback from participants on their experiences and learnings from digital transformation initiatives in their own organizations. The discussion will seek to learn participants' views on the following aspects (tentative):

- what does "digital" mean?
- What are the key elements of a digital transformation strategy and roadmap?
- what are critical success factors for executing a digital transformation strategy?
- what have been the learnings in executing a digital transformation program?
- what are the key technology choices to consider in a digital transformation roadmap?

Damo Consulting will share research on the current state of digital, based on public information, surveys, as well as learnings from our consulting engagements with leading health systems such as Cleveland Clinic. We will use the research to drive the discussion.

Learning Objectives

1. The key elements of a digital transformation program, and the current state of digital in healthcare
2. The technology choices and tradeoffs in executing a digital transformation roadmap
3. Best practices and learnings from health systems CIO's in their digital transformation journey
