    Periodic audits of vendor software, contracts and services to ensure compliance with industry standards and other regulatory bodies are essential to identifying areas of risk to an organization. A standard best practice to audit organization contracts with software and other IT services is to enlist the aid of an independent third party to conduct a compliance audit. Conducting a vendor contract compliance audit requires exceptional expertise and in-depth knowledge of both the software being audited and the vendor’s reputation in the industry. MMY Consulting brings the knowledge required to conduct compliance audits on many software and IT systems. Services include but are not limited to: HIPAA privacy and security standards, NCQA, HITECH, Physician and/or Partnership Agreements.

     

    Learning Objectives: 

     

    ​1. Understand the Audit Process

    ​2. What Contracts to look at for opportunities

    ​3. How to conduct the audit, statistical relevance

    4. What is a meaningful sample size, if applicable

    5. Next steps after the audit, data validation, what’s next?

    With the vision of the eHealth Exchange and digitization of healthcare, we anticipate great advances in patient engagement, health care outcomes and quality of care. At the same time, healthcare’s advancements in assuring privacy and security of sensitive information and biomedical devices through better risk management are not keeping pace. In fact, the promises of digitization carry unintended consequences and concerns about patient safety and new potential forms of medical professional liability. It’s not about HIPAA compliance and it’s not just an “IT problem”. Attend and learn about critical steps we must all take to identify and mitigate these new, emerging enterprise risks.

    The future of patient care will be built on the promise of genomic data and its ability to predict, identify and monitor disease prevention, progression and treatment. But its already massive volumes of sequencing data double every year, creating data management challenges that threaten to keep the secrets locked inside human DNA inaccessible and unused.

    Join David LaBrosse for an interactive discussion about new technologies that streamline genomic data management, accelerate discovery and help researchers and clinicians achieve seamless data sharing, in clouds and on premises. Learn real-world solutions for making precision medicine a reality.

     

    Learning Objectives: 

     

    ​1. Explain the use of genomic data in predicting, preventing and treating disease

    ​2. Identify genomic data management challenges

    ​3. Describe the advantages of cloud-based solutions for more effective data management

    This forum will focus on the emergence of telehealth and the ways it can enhance or replace current
    methods of patient examination, engagement, and communication. Attendees will enjoy a lively
    discussion that highlights the needs of the healthcare industry for better communication channels,
    more engaged patients, and all-around better collaboration amongst care providers. We will also review
    what has made other organizations successful in the burgeoning world of telehealth. Attendees can
    expect to come away from the forum knowing how to self-assess their organization’s readiness to adopt
    telehealth solutions and what to do if that assessment reveals gaps in their overall strategy or approach.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Attendees will gain a better understanding of patient communication, it's evolution, and why patient
    portals failed us all.
    2. Attendees will learn more about telehealth and what others are doing to create successful telehealth
    programs. Interactive conversation will allow participants to contribute to the dialogue.
    3. Attendees will learn how to perform an organizational needs assessment and gauge their own readiness 
    to jump into the world of telehealth.

    Studies show that in the face of cyber-crime costing the global economy ~$450 billion per year, organizations are investing in cyber security safeguards on an unprecedented scale. A 2017 Accenture / Ponemon study indicated that current spending priorities are often misdirected toward security capabilities that fail to deliver the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. The quality of cyber security decision making can be improved dramatically with some basic initial focus on a true risk-based approach. Join our session to learn what Boards and Executive Teams are demanding from their privacy, security, compliance, risk management and procurement teams to improve their return on security investments (ROSI).

     

    Learning Objectives: 

     

    ​1. Cite the increasing number of cyber-crime cases costing the global economy ~$450 billion

    ​2. Explain the difference between a compliance-based approach and a risk-based approach to cybersecurity

    ​3. Discuss how rigorous risk assessments (a.k.a., risk analyses) inform risk management (a.k.a., risk treatment) decisions

    4. Make more informed decisions about OpEx and CapEx cybersecurity spending decisions

    In 2015 alone, the opioid epidemic killed 33,000 people and harmed 12.5 million people. The daily death toll from drug overdoses equivalents to a Boeing 737 crashing and killing all the passengers on board.

    The Research Information Solutions and Innovation team at Nationwide Children's Hospital has developed a strategic initiative to fight the opioid crisis with digital innovation. In collaboration with the Center for Pediatric Trauma Research, our informatics team designed a virtual reality app as a potential non-pharmaceutical analgesic for burn patients. Data were collected from a pilot study among 59 pediatric burn patients aged 7-17 years old.

    In this talk, I will describe the opioid epidemic in American; share innovation in virtual reality to reduce the prescription of opioid prescriptions; and discuss an enterprise strategy to build a culture of digital innovation

     

    Learning Objectives: 

     

    1. Describe the opioid epidemic in America

    2. Assess innovation in virtual reality to reduce the prescription of opioid prescriptions

    ​3. Develop an enterprise strategy to build a culture of digital innovation
