Leading healthcare organizations are starting to see how a full care coordination & communication solution can improve HCAHPS scores, improve nurse & clinician retention and lower costs for IT. In this session, we want to learn how you perceive communications solutions today and how you are facilitating communication for nurses. Is secure text messaging a box you check for compliance or have you begun integrating your communications solution with the EMR, LIS, radiology, the call center & schedules. Do you know the impact that integrating your systems into a single, patient-centric platform can have on clinical workflow? What is your strategy for giving smartphones to nurses? Do you currently have any initiatives around patient secure texting?  Join this session to provide Telmediq insight into your perceptions of communication solutions today and help guide our product road map.

---

Learning Objectives

• What can be received and written back to the EMR via a secure mobile communication solution in HIPAA & joint commission compliant manner
• How clinicians can seamlessly communicate with the entire care team, receive order updates, radiology images, lab results and securely hand-off patients from their smartphones
• The latest patent-pending communication workflows & integrations for 2017

The journey to implement electronic physician documentation across a health system can be a struggle, but can also lead to significant increases is physician satisfaction and decreased cost. Bob Diamond, Sr VP and CIO at HealthQuest*, helped to lead his health system through a very successful electronic physician documentation implementation that focused on ease of use, cultural change, physician compliance and comprehensive reporting. The physician adoption and acceptance were beyond what the organization expected and lead to both a 400% increase in physician satisfaction (beginning at 20% based on ERC national survey and increased to 80%) and a $1.3 million decrease in transcription costs across the health system.

---

Learning Objectives

• Recognize the involvement of physicians early in the process to help them understand functionality, design, and customization to their specialties
• Explain how an electronic physician documentation implementation must be accompanied by cultural changes to be truly effective
• Discuss the involvement of physicians early in the process to help them understand functionality, design and customization to their specialties

Abstract/Overview:

As an increasing percentage of health delivery organizations shift to either (or both) value-based reimbursement models or risk-based arrangements, new operational insights and their interpretation must be enhanced. There are contributory, public and proprietary data sources that can directly support these processes. Without leveraging these sources, converging pressures such as care delivery & payment models, enhanced patient engagement, identifying avoidable conditions and costs, system performance and data use & misuse can and will place sustainability at risk. This focus group will explore data applications available today and compare cultural and adoption barriers-faced.

 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify & compare opportunities to leverage singular data sources to address multiple performance pressures
• Understand uses of socioeconomic data to improve patient outreach and methods of streamlining
• Understand the interdependencies of converging industry pressures and how to positively impact them via identity & provider data disciplines

New reimbursement regulations and increased pressure on provider organizations to measure clinical, operational and economic value are shifting how the industry thinks about connecting the flow of information from disparate vendor systems across ACOs, community hospitals and clinics. Reducing operational complexities to connect, govern, access, share and integrate the right information with the right context across different patient events establishes foundational capabilities to drive novel insights to demonstrate value. A standards-based, workflow-driven framework has the ability to streamline complex image exchange processes across hundreds of large IDNs and academic medical centers, helping provider organizations to manage their evidence strategy in the imaging space.

---

Learning Objectives:

• Identify cost savings through use case driven examples
• Apply imaging exchange implementation best practices and recognize pitfalls
• Implement care transition strategies using image exchange as the key driver to manage the flow of information
