Building a Physician Bridge to CPOE and “Meaningful Use” utilizing Microsoft Technologies and Frameworks
Alan Snell, Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Clinical Excellence, St. Vincent Health/Ascension Health, Indianapolis, IN
Christopher Wren, Managing Consultant, Technology, Zanett, Indianapolis, IN
The Clinical Online Deliver System (CODS) developed as a physician “bridge” strategy for Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) at St. Vincent Health is a SharePoint portal site that allows physicians to select their desired order items online (based on InfoPath Form technology) and enables them to print a legible customized form of hospital admitting or transfer orders for their signature. The design solves form template versioning, reducing the need to have many paper copies of order sets on the units at multiple hospitals sites, and offers a downtime option that could be deployable post-CPOE go-live. A standard managed InfoPath 2007 form was created to support the initial data pull and population to the form before saving into the Form Library held within SharePoint 2007. During this presentation, you will hear how St. Vincent Health utilized Microsoft SharePoint and InfoPath Forms technologies to build a solution that allows physicians on-line access to evidence-based order sets and clinical decision support, presented via their Physician Portal. |
Optimized Patient Flow and Next Generation Capacity Management
Eric Rosow, General Manager, Sunrise Patient Flow, Eclipsys, Eclipsys (formerly Premise Corporation), Farmington, CT
Benedict Tan, Director of Information Technology, Singapore General Hospital/Integrated Health Information System, Singapore
Throughout the world, capacity limits and bed shortages continue to strain hospital resources and negatively impact every aspect of a hospital’s operations. Nationwide, hospitals are reporting unprecedented inpatient and outpatient volumes; as a result, average occupancy levels approaching 100% are not uncommon. After years in which hospitals had closed beds and laid off workers, many hospitals are now struggling to cope with surprising increases in the number of patients. Some are being forced to turn away ambulances and cancel or delay elective surgeries due to a shortage of hospital beds. This session will demonstrate how workflow redesign coupled with an integrated technology platform empowers health systems to optimize patient flow, maximize capacity, and make better, faster, data-driven decisions. Specifically, this presentation will discuss how a broad array of Microsoft technologies (including SQL Server, .NET, Windows Workflow, Windows Presentation Foundation, SiverLight and SSRS/SSAS) have facilitated the rapid design, development and deployment of a scalable and highly configurable “next generation” patient flow and capacity management platform. |

Patient-Centered Medical Home: Technology Vital to Provider Collaboration, Electronic Data Exchange and Quality Initiatives
Charles Jarvis, FACHE, Vice President Healthcare Services and Government Relations, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Horsham, PA
Cherie Holmes-Henry, Director, Grants Resource Center, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Horsham, PA
Of all the healthcare reform initiatives currently being discussed (access, payment and care delivery), the concept of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) already has proven its value in care delivery, for several practices of varying demographics. Clinically, the PCMH approach to healthcare delivery calls upon primary care physicians (PCPs) to lead teams of providers who work collaboratively and assume collective responsibility for the provision and coordination of each patient’s care. Part of the foundation of this progressive care delivery model, is technology integration. Elmhurst Clinic in Elmhurst, IL will discuss how it has demonstrated the efficacy of PCMH through early participation in pilot projects. Streamlined administrative workflow and proactive patient outreach have resulted from implementation of the NextGen EHR. |

Interactive and Integrated Cancer Patient Navigation and Access to Records
Anand Gaddam, Director, Healthcare Practice, iLink Systems, Redmond, WA
Nancy Harris, St. Joseph Health System, Administrator, Cancer Services, The Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment, Orange, CA
Upon diagnosis, cancer patients are thrown into a frightening and complex world of new terminology, life determining decision-making and an overwhelming need for information. During the first year after diagnosis, patients experience anywhere from 50 to 150 visits, procedures or treatments offered by a wide variety of health professionals in a number of patient care settings. This aspect of a cancer patient’s care constitutes only about 26 percent of their lifetime cancer care going forward that spans many years to the rest of their life. To provide guidance and support to individuals making this difficult journey, leading cancer centers across the country have undertaken development of new health professional termed “patient or nurse navigators”. The primary function of patient navigation is the identification of patient needs and communication and provision of information to help address those needs. During this presentation, hear how the use of Microsoft Surface, Microsoft HealthVault, Microsoft Amalga and complementary
technologies such as Microsoft .NET Framework, SQL Server and Windows Server
will be used to improve the experience for cancer patients as well as provide
more innovative ways for the care team to inform the patient of their medical
condition and ultimately leverage technology to improve the outcome of patient care. |
Leveraging Open XML to Streamline Availability of Medical Information in Office 2010, Healthvault, and More
Greg Hammerman, Business Development and Strategy, gloStream, Bloomfield, Hills, MI
Yaw Kwakye, Chief Software Architect, gloStream, Nasik, Maharestra, India
gloStream is addressing two critical challenges doctors face as they transition to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems. The first challenge is that isolated systems often do not have the ability to interact with one another. A patient’s Electronic Medical Record at the hospital may be completely inaccessible to their primary care provider’s Electronic Medical Record System. The second issue we address is the apprehension many doctors have toward adopting an unfamiliar system that they are dependent on for their work. gloStream is a pioneer in the integration of Microsoft Office into EMR systems. As new products and technologies are released by Microsoft, gloStream is committed to using exciting new functionality to benefit the patients and users who work with our products every day. Attend this session to hear gloStream’s Chief Software Architect discuss these exciting technologies and lessons we have learned in bringing them to market. |

Closing Keynote: Leveraging HIT for Disability Determination Process
Justine Piereman, Program Manager, Health IT, Social Security Adminstration, Baltimiore, MD
Health Information Technology (IT) has continued to play an increasing role in the healthcare industry, providing opportunities for improving healthcare delivery and quality and reducing costs. It has also provided opportunities for leveraging the same technology for more than just healthcare delivery. The Social Security Administration has been engaged with the healthcare industry in initiatives to demonstrate that Health IT can also be leveraged for non clinical uses such as Disability Benefits Determination. Through these initiatives, SSA has emerged as a leader in advancing Health IT not only in the Federal sector but also throughout the healthcare industry. As such, SSA, along with its partner MedVirginia, was the first organization in the nation to go into production using the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). With the Health Information Technology program on a steady pace of growth with NHIN, the Social Security Administration continues to explore other healthcare technologies for improving the disability determination process. SSA also continues to collaborate with other industry leaders on various technology prototypes. The Social Security Administration has partnered with Microsoft to explore the potential of using the Microsoft HealthVault PHR in the Disability Benefits Application Process. Hear how lessons learned from the prototype will be used to develop industry processes and will engage stakeholders in discussions about technology and policies that need to be in place as this domain matures. |
