Description
What technology is needed for analyzing both business and clinical data. How networks can assist both healthcare administrators and the healthcare provider in the support of "Big Data".

The presentation is built around the new drivers of our healthcare delivery systems. I t goes into the building block from an HIT perspective of best practices to assist in overcoming the challenges that the Critical Access Hospitals, Rural Health Clinics and Community Safety Net Clinics face, given these new drivers. The primary purpose of the presentation is to provide technological solutions that will allow these critical health care systems to extract the data housed in all of their disparate systems and transform that data into actionable information and analyze the information to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs and better manage performance.

Learning objectives include:

  • Introduction to the new technological drivers of the healthcare system
  • Accomplishing the IHI Triple Aim initiative
  • Using the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model of care to reduce costs and increase expected patient outcomes
  • Better understand how HIT is the center of improving patient outcomes and business needs
  • This process can be replicated in any healthcare delivery system in any state
