    Medical devices are no longer just “BioMed’s problem”. IT, IS, BioMed, Supply Chain and more all have a need to understand what is connected to the network and what it’s doing. When connected devices are not used optimally, not deployed where they are needed, or are simply ‘lost’, it affects the entire organization. The current state is a complex and dis-integrated workflow that results in fixed-cost and variable-cost waste for the HDO. Medigate believes we can help solve this problem by providing a single - comprehensive - source of truth for the entire HDO to maximize their efficiency, through the proper application of connected device data. In this session, participants will share their perspective on solving this challenge and guide Medigate in our go-to-market strategy. 

    Learning Objectives:
    • Keeping device environment up to date   
    • IT’s role in delivering Operational Efficiency 
    • Compliance risks

    Digital adoption is on a rise in the healthcare industry with a focus on: leveraging data to provide personalized care, solutions to improve experience for providers and patient, all the while ensuring security of data and efficiency of operations. COVID-19 has further accelerated the need for virtualized care delivery and humanized experiences. Technology players have become a key stakeholder in the healthcare ecosystem to enable these changes and allow providers to focus on their primary priority of high quality care delivery.

    With the exponential increase in healthcare data, one key enabler of personalized care delivery has been Advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI has made its way to multiple applications across financials and operational workflows, its enterprise adoption for personalized clinical interventions has just begun. The key ingredients of successful adoption of AI have shown to be identification and execution of focused use cases with speed-to-value.

    In this session, we will explore the current technology imperatives of Healthcare CIO’s along with their path to adoption of AI in their organizations. We will also explore the challenges and barriers they face with digital adoption. Finally, we will discuss an AI framework from ideation to implementation, designed to promote scalability and speed-to-value.

    The shift from volume based to value-based payment models has made Clinical Data Integration (CDI) an imperative for all payers. A sound CDI strategy is crucial for payers to acquire, integrate, utilize and share clinical data to mitigate risk, increase workflow efficiencies, improve provider engagement, optimize revenues and drive overall member health outcomes.
    In this presentation, experts from Presbyterian Healthcare Services and CitiusTech will talk about CDI implementation best practices and how close coordination between business, data and technology teams helped with smooth execution of deliverables aligned with business success criteria.
    The presentation will also cover key use cases and business benefits across quality management, risk management, utilization management, care transitions, revenue leakages and regulatory compliance (HEDIS, Star).
    The CDI strategy and solution discussed in this presentation can be replicated for other healthcare organizations with similar needs and challenges. The implementation details will have to be tailored based on business and technology landscape.
