During this focus group, we will have a collaborative discussion surrounding the following learning
objectives.

Learning Objectives

1. EHR User satisfaction—The multifactorial nature of the causes of dissatisfaction. The priority of and tactics being used to address at your organization
2. National findings surrounding key drivers for EHR user satisfaction
3. How one can leverage these findings to address user satisfaction at their organization?
   • ​​An in depth discussion of the key drivers to user satisfaction and specific examples of how they have been addressed at successful organizations and how you might use this information at your organization.

​Does executive leadership often ask the following questions: “Is our cybersecurity program mitigating risk effectively and to an acceptable level?” “Are we spending enough or are we over spending on cybersecurity” “What will be the ROI for implementing this new technology.” You are not alone if you answered yes to any of these questions. As CISOs and CIOs we are challenged to translate our cybersecurity risks and strategic security initiatives into ROIs and quantified financial risk. In this focus group, we will discuss how identified cybersecurity risks impact the bottom line and how to present those risks to executive leadership. Attendees will be encouraged to share challenges and solutions to present the ROI of their cybersecurity programs in a roundtable excise.

Abstract

In today’s healthcare organizations, cloud services have become a strategic alternative to the traditional infrastructure and application hosting and client services. Cloud computing promises low cost, high scalability, availability and disaster recoverability which can be a natural solution for some of the problems faced in storing and analyzing patients' medical records and other healthcare provider IT services. Adopting a cloud strategy to quickly scale out new resources, maintain a higher level of control over and visibility into workloads to achieve a seamless end-user experience. This focus group will examine cloud strategies, risks and approaches and the potential impact of cloud computing on improving healthcare services, aligned with lessons learned and the potential to transform how technology and infrastructure are managed and delivered to healthcare providers and patients.

Learning Objectives

1. Examine cloud strategies, risks and approaches
2. Potential impact of cloud computing on improving healthcare
3. How technology and infrastructure can be transformed in healthcare through cloud computing

Abstract

Health systems are being asked to take on more, with the increase in patient acuity, medication errors, and management of patients across the care continuum. Nursing, Pharmacy, and IT are being tasked with managing more patients, more technology, and more devices – requiring patient, medication, and device data to be available when and where it is needed. This focus group will discuss health system strategic planning to move to mobile solutions to address these challenges, as well as the value proposition and benefit to the health system to invest in these solutions.

Learning Objectives

1. Describe current state of mobile device and solution deployment within the health system
2. Define the challenges in mobile solution deployment
3. Identify the strategic plan for mobile solution deployment within the health system over the next 24 – 36 months and the specific end-user challenges to be addressed by these solutions

With the imminent deadline from Microsoft to suspend all end of life activities for Windows 7, many organizations are currently facing the need to implement Windows 10. Application Rationalization is often one of the most complex components of any Windows 10 project; Application Rationalization can deliver substantial results, but without a clear definition of the scope, strong governance, and an effective methodology this effort can quickly spin out of control. In our webinar we will provide a framework and methodology that can guide healthcare organizations through large scale projects.

Learning Objective 1: Windows 10 Deployment Learning Objective 2: Application Rationalization Learning Objective 3: Information Technology Service Management Learning Objective 4: Transformational Project Impacts

Digital is a new business for Healthcare and it is transforming Healthcare rapidly. We’re heading into the post-digital era where health systems need to adopt new and emerging technologies such as AI, Big Data- Analytics, Blockchain, 5G besides the EHR. While progress has been made in the digitalhealth, it hasn’t necessarily been transformational in most of the cases. Healthcare stakeholders are concerned that even after spending a significant amount of their budget on DT efforts, they are not able to achieve the desired patient engagement, experience and business outcomes. In this engaging session, the audience will learn the key components of a successful DT Strategy which combines Cloud, Consumerization and DIgital together to deliver upon the value based care transformation promise.

Learning Objective 1: Discuss the barriers preventing successful digital transformation for Health Systems and describe a framework that helps achieve it.

Learning Objective 2: Explain HIT leadership audience why the combination of a Cloud, Consumerization and Digital is needed collectively for the DT efforts.

Learning Objective 3: Lesson learnt- Describe how to start this journey. Do’s and Don’t’s and defining success metrics.

Are you prepared for what’s coming next? Have you identified all your critical assets and made sure they are protected from the latest vulnerabilities? Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than conventional techniques designed to stop them. Third party risk management is probably the biggest challenge to the healthcare industry today. Yet, few organizations have a clear picture on the vendors and business associates who connect to and interact with your network. Over 80 percent of breaches that have occurred within the healthcare industry over the past few years can be linked to a third party. Now add the complexity of privacy laws and government regulation, and you have a recipe for confusion. How can you get clarity on your critical assets, processes and compliance?  Learning Objective 1: Addressing 3rd party risk management  Learning Objective 2: Recommended approaches and key steps Learning Objective 3: Industry and customer guided approaches

Telehealth and Mobile Health (mHealth) are two of the fastest growing technologies in healthcare. These technologies deliver real time communication between patients and providers for the sake of monitoring, treatment, and education. Yet, these technologies are on a cybersecurity collision course called Patient Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). The proliferation of Patient BYOD is unavoidable as patients become comfortable using their smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices as part of their interaction with healthcare providers. However, Patient BYOD compounds the already complex problems organizations face while navigating the ever-changing demands of mHealth and Telehealth cybersecurity and risk management.

Learning Objective #1 Privacy issues related to Telehealth, mHealth and Patient BYOD

Learning Objective #2 Security issues related to Telehealth, mHealth and Patient BYOD

Learning Objective #3 Applying the NIST CSF to the Telehealth and Remote Patient Monitoring Ecosystem

Rural IT Leaders wear many hats. From tier 1 technical support to executive oversight, the role of a rural CIO is broad in scope. Often, we take what we can get, and do the best we can with what we are given. With limited staff, staff skill levels, and available capital, we take each day at a time and put out daily fires. Our basic function is to keep the lights on! On top of this, the rural CIO is expected to carry out the Security Official duties. The stress of wearing many hats is taxing, making the burden real and overwhelming.
