Selecting Technology for the Community Hospital

We all know the devil is in the details.  So when it comes to vendor selection and contract negotiation, structuring a fair deal is equal parts art and technique.  In this session you will learn a practical method for not just picking a winner, but leading your healthcare organization to a successful outcome. Session topics include how to select vendors and software systems, use request for information (RFI) effectively, obtain maximum vendor discounts, manage expectations and negotiate contracts.

Suggested Audience: Anyone making a software selection or future healthcare information systems change: CIO's, CEO's, CFO's, DON's, CNO's, and IT Steering Teams

Planning for Results: Health IT/Electronic Records Strategy

You know you need an EMR/EHR, but how do you get from where you are today to a fully-functional solution? How will you pay for it? Why should you do it? How will you get your physicians to use it? What does the government really expect from you? What's a legal chart when some of it is electronic?  When will you need to comply? This session will look at the definition of EMR, EHR and PHR and break down the components to achieving results through solid planning, implementation and management strategies for healthcare IT.  Incorporated in this session are the key elements of the ONCHIT's Coordinated Federal Health Information Technology Strategic Plan: 2008-2012. The key elements are broken down into real life application for community healthcare organizations. Additionally, the framework for the internal IT organization required to achieve and support these endeavors will be outlined.

Suggested Audience: C-level resources, IT Steering Teams and Physicians

Stark/Anti-Kickback Changes and Physician EMR Adoption

Legislative changes in 2006 and subsequent IRS modifications have made it possible for hospitals to reduce the barrier to EMR adoption by "sponsoring" EMRs in their clinics. Learn how to successfully assemble agreements with your physician teams that not only promote successful adoption/implementation, but also keep you out of hot water.

Suggested Audience: CEO's, CIO's and Physicians

Point of Care Solutions: Clinical Data Input and Access in the Real World

Look beyond the gadgets and whiz-bangs at the real drivers for applying technology at the bed/patient's side. Identify typical pitfalls and why the conventional thinking regarding point of care solutions isn't always best. See what options exist and how to approach a selection solution that positively impacts the clinician and patient experience and also gains the best value for the dollars spent.  This presentation includes a technical review of the typical point of care components and some "do's" and "don'ts" relative to minimizing total cost of ownership.

Suggested Audience: DON's, Clinical Staff, IT Directors, CIO's and CNO's
