  Abstract Today’s CIO is in a position to serve broadly; they must have strategies in place to address the needs of their community. This goes beyond the partnership with their board and leadership; they must convene and motivate multi-disciplinary internal teams that are focused on improving care and consumer (patient, member, employee) quality of life as well as reducing the cost of care. The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) faces unique state requirements associated with Maryland’s all-payer system as well as the requirements of the Medicare Shared Savings Program. UMMS will share their journey and lessons learned for the executive leaders tasked with supporting population health management. Learning Objectives

1. Identify opportunities where CIOs can serve and lead as their organizations shift from a fee-for-service to a value-based care reimbursement model
2. Classify lessons learned into actionable steps that will support population health management activities for your patients and community
3. Identify the five key dimensions of a value-based care maturity model and how to apply these measures locally
4. Understand how CIO leadership can influence each of the VBC maturity model dimensions and bring about needed change management

Join as us as we dive into the myriad issues that must be considered by CIOs and others in the c-suite as healthcare data is increasingly exchanged both among and outside non-traditional healthcare settings, and as consumers become active managers of their health information. This presentation will dive into what this means for providers in an era of patient-directed data, a growing internet of things (IoT), the implications associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning, and of course the privacy and security implications associated with the new world order.  Learn what this means for compliance with the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) policies.

There is a clear sense of urgency to drive innovation in healthcare fueled by consumerism, data analytics, technology advances and rapidly changing delivery financing and delivery modes. In fact, 94% of healthcare CIOs responding to a 2018 Harvey Nash / KPMG poll believe it’s important to build an innovative, experimental culture to ensure a successful digital strategy. The good news is, you don’t have to be Google to innovate. However, as leaders you must understand the components that influence an organization’s capacity to innovate and be prepared to think about and address challenges and opportunities to fit your organization. During this focus group we will share findings from our industry research on the 3 “pillars” that have positioned organizations to be highly innovative. We’ll share specific examples and discuss common challenges and how to address them to build a solid foundation to support your innovation journey. We’ll also discuss the many tools and frameworks available to support innovation efforts and how to position your organization to successfully leverage them to foster and drive innovation, regardless of organizational size and funding/resources. 1. Discuss common foundational pillars shared by highly innovative organizations and how they apply to healthcare organizations of varying size, maturity and market. 2. Discuss challenges and strategies to leverage when building and strengthening these foundational pillars. 3. Identify strategies to spark and sustain innovation within your organization.

As the application landscape inevitably grows more complex and cost pressures continue to rise, it is imperative for IT leadership to prioritize on Application Portfolio Optimization (APO) as a strategic initiative. APO is a set of application cost, count, and risk reduction activities to reduce operational spend and application portfolio complexity. APO is not new to IT, but implementing it well and sustaining this practice past the initial exercise can be challenging for organizations. Mount Sinai Health System has embarked on their APO journey as part of the overall Application Portfolio Management (APM) initiative and would like to share our experiences on the approach, challenges, success criteria, value, and governance process to maintain this effort.

How can we create a responsible data environment where we can contribute healthcare data, where privacy and security of that data is protected, and where the data can be made available for continuous learning systems using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)? In this session, we will discuss ideas ranging from the most restrictive to least restrictive, to enabling a new age of clinical discovery.

Learning Objectives:
• Review current state of data rights in healthcare
• Review recent developments regarding data rights in healthcare
• Discuss ways data rights may evolve with machine learning and artificial intelligence

Healthcare revenue cycle teams are responsible for ensuring health systems get paid appropriately for all clinical services they provide. Many organizations are feeling the squeeze, with lower reimbursement rates and increased denials.

In this CHIME Focus Group, we will describe our experience developing a revenue reconciliation program and clinical department accountability processes for a large multi-hospital organization. We will also discuss: - How other organizations are reconciling charges? - What organizations are doing well? - Where organizations are struggling in maximizing revenue and reducing potential missed charges? 1. The most effective ways for approaching implementing a revenue reconciliation program. 2. Discuss strategies for including new EHR functionality into revenue reconciliation programs 3. How revenue reconciliation programs fit into organizational structure and culture

Clinical KPIs are under constant scrutiny at most organizations. However, very few organizations have a unified solution for capturing the required data, monitoring compliance in real-time, promoting intervention at the bedside, and reporting on that data retrospectively. If organizations do, they still struggle to incorporate those tools into operational workflows that allow for continuous analysis and improvement. In this session we'll review strategies for creating an environment of constant feedback at every level of your organization. We'll also look at how an increasingly transparent system helps promote impactful change to patient care. 1. How to monitor clinical metric performance in real-time 2. Discuss opportunities for promoting intervention at the bedside 3. How to develop solutions for capturing necessary clinical data and delivering to the correct audience
