Theme: Bridging the Disconnect between Healthcare Providers and Information Technologists

 

Why should I attend the workshop?

With health IT adoption currently the hottest topic in healthcare, technical and clinical practitioners need to understand how emerging technologies will impact their
business. People working in medicine or IT in a healthcare setting will be able
to discover how things like EMR’s, PHR’s, telemedicine, standards (HL7) and
consumer health informatics are impacting how medicine is practiced and care is
delivered. Some of the top names in the field will be present to discuss the
leading edge ideas and developments in the field.

What will I get out of the workshop?

1. A solid understanding of health informatics, its impact and future
2. Expert guidance on relevant issues such as HL7 and standards, the role of the EMR/PHR in improving patient care, GIS and its impact on health care, new wireless healthcare technologies
   
   
3. An ability to apply the concepts and methods covered in the program directly to their current professional projects
   
4. A rare and unique opportunity to network with peers as well as some of the very best minds working in health informatics today

 

Overview

As healthcare reform takes center stage this year, it is clear that Healthcare IT will play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of healthcare services both nationally and globally. Healthcare Informatics is a
rapidly growing field that deals with the structure, acquisition and use of
medical information.    With the global boom in healthcare and quantum
advancements in IT, medical informatics is already becoming an exciting career
choice. However it is anticipated that not enough skilled healthcare
informaticians will be available to fill the growing need.

 

While the current environment may be filled with uncertainties, CIOs are continually challenged to make definitive actions that cut spending on IT where possible and align IT around initiatives that run, grow
and transform the business. CxOs and external influencers now expect IT to be a
key differentiator to effectively enable care and business strategies.  This
workshop explores the challenges and actions that IT can take in the new
uncertain environment. Even if you are an experienced IT manager, this 2-day
intense workshop will provide you with in-depth exposure to the milieu of how
medicine is practiced, the issues and challenges with electronic medical
records, the impact of consumer driven health care using Internet, cell phones
and social networking along with the how to reap maximum value for your
healthcare IT enterprise architecture.

 

Claremont Graduate University is the first accredited masters degree program in Health Information management by CAHIIM/AHIMA on the west coast. We are leaders in university-based training and
curriculum development. Loma Linda University is a world-class medical
university and leaders in the field.

 

Intended audience

This workshop is primarily aimed at

• Directors and C-level managers in healthcare organizations who want to get updated knowledge of this field
  
• Physicians and nurses who want to broaden their knowledge on the use, challenges and values of electronic medical records
  
• Executives and administrators who have to make important decisions on the return on investment on their healthcare IT investments
  
• Researchers interested to know the latest research challenges and innovations in HIT
• Students who want to pursue a career in healthcare informatics

“Integrating Carbon, Silicon, and Fiber for Health & Healthcare: Concepts, Education, & Training”

Abstract:

The keynote address will describe emerging requirements for successful health policy and care, care organizations, educational curricula, and professionalism, including biomedical and health informatics. 
Care in the 2010s will demand fewer experts exemplifying heroic individualism
within command/control organizations versus systems capable of assuring
consistent outcomes through ‘smart’ teams using EHRs across time and distance. 
What will need to be the focus for education, research, practice and policy to
create enjoyable professional careers in the emerging environment?  The speaker
will address each dimension above and discuss informatics as a professional
discipline and how informatics can help mediate the needed
transitions.
