74% of Healthcare organizations report leveraging the Cloud to achieve financial savings and operational efficiencies. However, recent findings show over 60% of these organizations are experiencing Cloud adoption challenges and Security anxiety. It is essential for Healthcare organizations to overcome these challenges as there is a much larger digital transformational trend ahead, where Cloud will become a crucial component of patient care innovation.

Join Healthcare IT veterans from Microsoft & Synoptek, as they discuss the future of Cloud for Healthcare and best practices to help you overcome Cloud challenges and achieve higher levels of operational efficiency, security, and HIPAA compliance in the Cloud.

oing live on a new Electronic Health Record (EHR), is one of the most critical aspects of the overall implementation.  It HAS to be successful.   The costs and morale issues associated with a go-live gone bad are significant.  The vendor you select for the planning and execution of the go-live is another critical factor.  If you select a vendor with a methodology in place, and an experienced team by your side, your organization can mitigate the stress and disruptions that can occur during go-live.

The Leidos Health Go-Live team has successfully delivered over 480 unique go-live projects consisting of over 9,200 elbow support.   Many of the resources have worked with Leidos Health on more than 20 projects.  As a result of this experience, Leidos Health has learned and developed best practices for implementing an EHR Go-Live event. During this webinar you will hear from an experienced organization with real-world examples and best practices to help you successfully complete a go-live engagement.

Join Mark Dermott, Leidos Health Vice President of Go-Live Services, as he shares 8 key factors to ensure go-live success. You will learn how to:

• Ensure a smooth transition for a Go-Live support team
• Avoid common go-live challenges
• Drive and streamline EHR adoption by clinicians, patients and staff

Telemedicine continues to be a healthcare IT area of great interest for clinicians and patients/consumers as organizations look to expand access to care and the services they provide while increasing convenience.  Building upon critical insights uncovered from past studies, the HIMSS Analytics 2017 Essentials Brief: Inpatient Telemedicine Study highlights four years of market data focused on the adoption of telemedicine technology across the U.S. hospital market. 

Additionally, HIMSS Analytics has for the first time produced insights on the adoption of Telemedicine technology in the outpatient market with the 2017 Essentials Brief: Outpatient Telemedicine Study. This study will provide market data focused on current telemedicine solution adoption rates and plans to purchase as well as insight into some of the barriers to adoption currently facing physician practices today. 

HIMSS Analytics speakers Brendan FitzGerald, Director of Research, and Matt Schuchardt, Director of Business Development and Innovation, will provide a high level review of insight in these areas.  Additionally, they will provide additional detail and analysis based upon data from LOGIC, the HIMSS Analytics market intelligence tool, on how the telemedicine is helping inpatient and outpatient healthcare organizations use technology to transform how they provide care. 

As the healthcare industry moves to implement precision medicine in care delivery, healthcare systems are analyzing massive volumes of data toward the goal of increasing the accuracy and speed of clinical care. During this transition, healthcare IT managers are facing the challenge of managing different types of data to build systems that provide clear results to clinicians. Penn Medicine's Chief Data Scientist Michael Draugelis will share the lessons learned from programs that have been developed at Penn to deliver clear benefits in improving outcomes. Key highlights of the presentation will include how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can advance treatment and prevention as well as scientific and technical challenges for AI to be successful.

As provider organizations continue on their journey toward value-based outcomes and reimbursement, such as MACRA, they face many critical decisions that will impact their business and patient outcomes. The risk is too high to rely on assumptions and  interpretations, providers must be able to take insight-driven actions around key areas such as managing risk, improving quality and provider network operations; areas that can significantly impact cost and quality outcomes. Join our upcoming webinar to learn how provider organizations are adopting an insights-driven culture that delivers improved value-based outcomes.
