HIT Live: Delivering Real-time Clinical Intelligence at a Glance to Healthcare Providers Through Innovative Applications that Unlock the Power of Patient Data
Justin W Lanning, President & CEO of CredenceHealth, Inc
Marty Fitzgerald, EVP & COO, CredenceHealth, Inc.
Jacob Sims, VP & CTO, CredenceHealth, Inc.

Health plans and providers need simple, agile, and cost-effective tools that utilize clinical data in a timely fashion to improve the quality of care and reduce the overall cost of care. Real-time clinical intelligence can create a win-win for health plans and providers by leveraging existing HIT investments and focusing relevant clinical data to improve outcomes (i.e. reduce unnecessary complications, reduce under and over diagnosis, reduce length of stay, etc.). During this presentation, the presenters will discuss how CredenceHealth partnered with Nashville General Hospital (NGH) to begin piloting CHlive within a hospital environment on a single floor and how the implementation process for NGH was completed in less than three weeks, after which time clinicians and administrators were able to recognize the tremendous potential of the system.

Why Healthcare is Choosing Biztalk Server for Clinical Systems Integration
Leland Prosch
Hal Meints, IRM - Manager EMPATH-IT, Inland Northwest Health Services
Michael Stonis, Vice President, Prosch Consulting Corporation
Many hospitals, physician's groups, reference labs, and government health departments are considering replacing complex and expensive HL7 engines such as eGate and Cloverleaf with Microsoft BizTalk Server. These organizations are asking questions like: Who else in healthcare is already using it? Can I use my own developers (who already know Microsoft toolset) to support it rather than expensive consultants? Why use BizTalk over an integration engine that was built exclusively for healthcare? This presentation will demonstrate how healthcare is replacing tired and expensive legacy HL7 integration applications with BizTalk Server, for everyday ADT, order/result, and charge interfaces, as well as RHIO and HIE integration.

Opening Keynote: Connected Medical Home with Amalga Unified Intelligence System
Davide Vigano, GM Marketing & Communications, Health Solutions Group, Microsoft Corporation
Rajeev Chaudhry, MBBS MPH, Project Leader, Health Information Management Systems, Leader Mayo Clinic Connection, Center for Innovation, Mayo Clinic Rochester
How Microsoft and partners can help deliver on improving health around the world by liberating the data, empowering people and connecting care.
Current Electronic Medical Records are designed to provide episodic care but for patients with chronic conditions like Diabetes , Asthma, Heart Failure and Depression physicians and their staff need information management systems that enable longitudinal care delivery. Primary Care Practices need to know the population of their patients and the services needed. They also need to know their patients' preferences and they need to contact them proactively to stay connected with their patients to provide “meaningful care”.
The “meaningful use” criteria will require health care organizations to deliver many of the metrics that can only be provided and improved upon with a “Connected Medical Home”. Mayo Clinic Rochester is developing such a system with the Unified Intelligence of Amalga.

Record Solution with integrated PHR and EMR Dashboard using Microsoft Health CUI, Built on Microsoft Silverlight and HealthVault
Dr. Scotty Bolding, Chairman, UShealthrecord
Health Information Exchanges (HIE) are becoming a primary focus throughout the United States because of the available funds to support the infrastructure development with the recent passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, while there have been successful technological deployment of health information exchanges around the country such the Wisconsin (HIE) that is built on Microsoft Amalga, there have been significant limitations of the true clinical functionality of these HIE’s at the average provider and patient level.
States and communities are now looking for solutions that will help lower the States healthcare cost and give the healthcare providers the functionality and connectivity that they need in their practices. Most electronic medical record and practice management companies are evaluating ways of providing exchange of data in a real time at the practice level.
This presentation will demonstrate how UShealthrecord is using Microsoft Silverlight to create user rich PHR and EMR dashboard interfaces that layer on HealthVault to allow for the interfaces of EMR and Practice Management solutions.

Using Microsoft to Help Improve the Security of Patient Data
Ken Hoffman
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH) and its new breach notification regulations place greater focus than ever on the security of electronic patient data. How can hospitals with diverse IT applications ensure patient records are not accessed inappropriately? Iatric Systems’ Security Audit Manager solution will serve as the case study for using Microsoft standard development tools and applications to integrate diverse systems effectively, reducing development time to one-third the time it takes using non-integrated or open source development tools.

Voice-assisted Care
Amar Kapadia, Director, New Ventures, Vocollect Healthcare Systems
Speech is the most natural form of communication. Yet, until now, nursing staff has not had the capability of charting using voice at the point of care. Voice-assisted care enables nursing staff to chart while caring, resulting in more time spent at the bedside, staff satisfaction and improved outcomes. This presentation will: 1) Demonstrate how voice assisted care technology can assist clinicians in real time documentation at the bedside 2) Discuss advantages voice assisted care technology can provide healthcare organizations in preventing HACs and addressing HCAHPS 3) Present collaborative process used to design voice assisted functionality supporting clinician needs and 4) Share lessons learned. Features such as the system’s voice responses and assistance cues will be shared, including how data can be documented, viewed and retrieved.

Next Generation Decision Support for Hospitals: Using Microsoft Technologies You Already Own to Drive New Levels of Performance
Bob Lokken, CEO, WhiteCloud Analytics
It's no surprise that the economy is taking its toll on hospitals as well as the patients and communities they serve. Today, the difference between whether a hospital will survive or thrive comes down to a highly tuned ability to contain costs without negatively impacting quality of care. This session will demonstrate how next generation decision support systems that span both clinical and business operations can help move the hospital from "responding to crisis" to "proactively driving performance results." Most importantly, the session will address how to deliver next generation solutions using Microsoft technologies that you already own.

Launching the New Era of Health Connectivity
David A. Feinberg, Vice President, Marketing, New York-Presbyterian Hospital
It’s a radical but powerful concept. The Patient owns their data; not the Hospital, not the Doctor, but the Patient. This requires a new model for patient centered access, education and sharing among all involved. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is the first hospital in the world to use two Microsoft platforms, Amalga and HealthVault, to create an innovative portal, myNYP, that provides a low-cost way for patients to see and understand their data and share it with family, physicians, institutions, and caregivers. We will share how this was done and how you might apply this approach to your institution.
