8:10 Doing Care Differently:The Journey to a Healthier Nation
Phil Polakoff, M.D., National Health Advisor; US Surgeon General
Nominee; former Advisor to US Senate Leadership and California
Legislature
How can we deliver healthcare differently and lead all stakeholders
to a healthier nation? An in-depth assessment of our current and
future healthcare landscape and the impact health reform is having. A keener
understanding as to the nature of the emerging innovative health delivery models
and how best to navigate and implement them to achieve meaningful success.
8:40 Health IT, Health Reform, and the Path Forward
Steven Stack, M.D., President-Elect, American Medical Association
The current healthcare environment brings seismic changes for
physicians, from EHRs to telemedicine to implementation of the
Affordable Care Act. The opportunity to improve patient care and safety
through these and other changes is great, but so too are the challenges.
This session will explore how recent legislative and regulatory requirements are
impacting physicians and how technology can be leveraged to overcome existing
challenges, increase efficiencies, and ultimately improve patient care.
9:10The Confluence of Consumer Care andTwo-Way Data: Apple
HealthKit, Care Management, Patient/Family Engagement, Privacy
John Halamka, M.D., MS, CIO, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
With the launch of the Apple HealthKit we are seeing the consumerization
of healthcare becoming a reality. What are the implications of this
transformation for care management, patient/family engagement, and
for privacy? With the confluence of consumer care and data where are
the opportunities to better identify risk in populations and to improve quality? With the
growth and availability of two-way data (to-from patients) what is the hope vs the hype of
mobile tech?
9:40 PANEL DISCUSSION:The Future of HealthcareTechnology:

Phil Polakoff, M.D., National Health Advisor; US Surgeon General Nominee; former
Advisor to US Senate Leadership; Consultant to California Legislature
We all hear about potentially marvelous advances in healthcare technologies that will
enable coordinated, efficient, high-quality care. But many organizations are struggling
with incremental improvements to systems that woefully and evidently fail to fulfill
well-acknowledged business requirements. Our expert panelists are working at
the frontiers of what is possible and what is actual in healthcare IT and will offer
their insights and prognostications as to what we can reasonably expect from
technological advances in the coming years.
• Looking at our interoperability challenges, and the un-integrated reality we are
working in now, what are the biggest challenges we are facing in health IT today?
• Looking beyond an individual hospital system or a State HIE, what do you
believe to be the long-range technology developments that will enable needed
transformations in the US healthcare system? What is a realistic timeline for these
technologies not only to become generally available, but also generally deployed?
• What are you working on now in your world to get us to this possible future state?
What are your priority challenges to overcome in the immediate term (in the next
year), medium term (3-5 years) and longer term? Where are we wasting too much
time and money, or investing in solutions that we will just have to replace as
obsolete as soon as they are deployed? What is your advice for policy and health
IT leaders in the field?

Stanley Huff, M.D., Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Intermountain Information Systems
1:50The Coming Era of High Performance Medicine
Jason Burke, Senior Advisor for Innovation and Advanced Analytics, University of
North Carolina Health Care and School of Medicine
Can medicine truly become a performance-driven industry?The complexity
residing at the intersection between the science of medicine, the
delivery of health care services, and natural patient variation has made it
difficult to scale organizational performance beyond the effectiveness of
individual contributors.Yet other fields such as space exploration, battlefield
operations, meteorology, financial services, and automotive racing have demonstrated
that comparably complex systems can be characterized and even managed to very high
levels of performance. By adopting similar capabilities in the context of population health,
accountable care, and personalized medicine, health and life sciences organizations can
unlock a new era of clinical, financial, and operational high performance.
2:20 Forecasting the Impact of HIT and e-Health on the Future
Demand for Physicians
Jonathan Weiner, Dr.P.H., Professor, Health Policy & Management and Health
Informatics; Director, Center for Population Health Information Technology (CPHIT),
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Few factors will change the face of the American health care
workforce as widely and dramatically as will health IT and e-health.
This presentation explores how such applications will affect the future
demand for physicians, and other clinicians. Professor Weiner will
discuss the premise that HIT systems, when fully implemented, will
allow care to be delivered by fewer physicians and more nurse practitioners and
physician assistants. Furthermore, HIT-supported generalists could provide some
care now delivered by specialists. Health IT could also help address rural clinician
shortages patients by enabling care to be delivered remotely or asynchronously. Dr.
Weiner will discuss the implications of these and other health informatics trends on
what some believe to be a looming shortage of physicians.
2:50 Health Delivery Reform and Health IT-Enabled Quality
Improvement
ONC Speaker, Office of the National Coordinator for Health InformationTechnology (ONC)
How can we use health IT to provide the best possible care for all Americans? Health
InformationTechnology is critical to the success of delivery reforms that aspire to
transform the nation’s health care system to focus increasingly on the quality of care
provided, rather than the quantity. Only health IT can provide the kind of smart data and
analytics that organizations such as Accountable Care Organizations need to succeed.
3:20 CAPSTONE PANEL DISCUSSION:What Can We Really do to
Accelerate Value in Healthcare?
Moderator: Eric Glazer, Vice President, Physician Engagement & Social Media, Best Doctors
J.D. Whitlock, Vice President, Clinical & Business Intelligence, Mercy Health
Gowtham Rao, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Informatics Officer, BlueCross BlueShield
of South Carolina
Speaker, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)
Our esteemed panel will summarize the key theme of the conference, how
technology and analytics enable providers to better engage and manage patient
populations, and ultimately achieve a higher quality at lower cost. Specifically, we will
address strategies to transforming care models to shared risk using technologies.
Areas of discussion will include:
• Should we fire the CMO? Who are the ideal clinical leaders to drive this
successful change?
• How can provider organizations invest in the future without going broke today?
• How does an ACO navigate the conflicting financial incentives?
• What is the technology that can support ACOs?
• How will we get to system wide Accountable Care in less than 10 years!?

“
“The healthcare technology and policy landscape changes so rapidly that IT leaders are challenged to deploy
solutions fast enough to meet user and regulatory needs. Medical InformaticsWorld convenes experts from
across the country to share best practices,proving the guidance we all need to be successful.

11:10 Big Data in Healthcare: Aspiration vs. Substance
Tariq Abu-Jaber, MA, MPH, Vice President, Medical Informatics, Harvard Pilgrim Health
Care
We all hear a lot of hype regarding the use of “Big Data” in health care, but
how much of it truly represents breakthrough capabilities that present us with
opportunities to improve our operations and market position? In this session,
we will attempt to identify genuinely new capabilities enabled by the use of Big
Data processes and products in health care, looking at four domains: processes
and methodologies, data sources, data types and technology. We will explore
some work currently under way and project into opportunities that may emerge
in the near future.

Collaboration to Conduct Studies of Novel Delivery Models
Niteesh Choudhry, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical
School
This presentation will focus on academic-industry data collaborations to
conduct randomized studies of novel delivery models. I will describe successful
partnerships that we’ve built between payers and our research group to
leverage real-world/routinely collected data to design, execute and evaluate
studies of care redesign strategies (mostly around medication adherence).
The presentation will share both the straightforward aspects (e.g. Accessing
routinely collected data) and the more challenging things like randomization,
consent, publication timelines, as well as the types of studies that could (and
cannot) be done in the context of these collaborations.
9:25 Innovative Collaboration Models for Real World Evidence Insight
Generation
Michael Murray, Pharm.D., MPH, Investigator, RCHER (Regenstrief Center for
Healthcare Effectiveness Research), Regenstrief Institute
Large isolated real world datasets are available commercially for comparative
effectiveness research, but sometimes these datasets lack the clinical context
required to generate insights into health outcomes and answer research
questions. Also, if these datasets are stripped of PHI/PII, there is no ability to
trace the selected patient cohorts back to real patient populations for validation
of insights or prospective observations and intervention development. So,
despite the increasing availability of structured clinical data for use in research,
life sciences companies are struggling to identify collaborative research models
that engage with healthcare providers to contextualize clinical data through
direct interaction with the clinical communities where the data are captured.
The innovative model to address a) technology, b) research, and c) governance
challenges associated with research, will be shared during the discussion. The
audience will gain an understanding for how cross-industry collaborations and
new innovative business models can enable more rapid insight generation.

11:00 Little is the New Big: Leveraging Data to Drive Health Care
Performance
Todd Rothenhaus, M.D., FACEP, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Information
Officer, athenahealth
We need to think about the health care industry in a radically different way. It’s
not big data that drives success. It’s little data that provides insight into how
our products are doing, how our clients are performing, and what’s happening
to the health care ecosystem as a whole. These three pillars-products, clients,
and their ecosystems - are the battleground on which all businesses fight, and
little data shows us where we are doing well and where we need to improve.
Customer-centric industries tenaciously analyze their products to make sure
they do what they need; analyze client performance in ways that are actionable,
and invest resources to coach and help them do better; and keep abreast of
industry trends. Through it all, they leverage data as the means, but never
the end, to focus on clients and the outcomes they are trying to achieve. This
model can work for health care, too.
11:25 ASCO’s CancerLinQ Case Study: Cross-Industry Partnership to
Transform Cancer Care through Big Data
Robert Miller, M.D., Medical Director, Institute for Quality and CancerLinQ, ASCO
Most of what is currently known about cancer treatment is based on the mere
3% of patients who participate in clinical trials. This session will discuss the
vision and evolution of ASCO’s CancerLinQ technology platform, a tool which
will enable oncologists to learn from every patient by capturing data generated
in routine health care operations, currently locked in multiple disparate
electronic health record systems. CancerLinQ aggregates and analyzes real-
world cancer care data, irrespective of source, in order to provide real-time
quality feedback to providers, to feed personalized insights to oncologists at
the point of care, and, using powerful analytic tools, to reveal new, previously
unseen patterns in patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes.
11:50 PANEL DISCUSSION: Building the Next Generation of
Breakthrough Models that Integrate the Best of Healthcare, Social
andTechnology
Moderator: Terry Stone, Head, Oliver Wyman’s Health Innovation Center
& Grace Emerson Terrell, M.D., MMM, FACP, FACPE, CEO, Cornerstone Health
& Vipin Gopal, Ph.D., MBA, Vice President, Clinical Analytics, Humana
Fueled by consumer dissatisfaction with the status quo, entrepreneurs and
venture capitalists are rapidly moving into the digital consumer-focused
healthcare space. In 1998, there were just 17 rounds of health-tech venture
capital investment worth $2 million or more; last year there were 89. The
opportunities, however, don’t just lie in attracting VC but also in forming

Coordinated Patient Care,Engagement and Empowerment
Delivering Care to Patients and Consumers in all Settings to Improve Outcomes
Growing use of remote monitoring and mobile technology platforms has made it possible to transform the delivery of care by engaging and empowering patients
outside the traditional clinical setting. Engaging and empowering patients in their own care reduces costs and improves health outcomes. Cambridge Healthtech
Institute and Clinical Informatics News’ 3rd Annual “Coordinated Patient Care, Engagement and Empowerment: Delivering Care to Patients and Consumers in all
Settings to Improve Outcomes,” taking place taking place May 4-5, 2015 at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel in Boston, MA, will bring together thought leaders
from the payer, provider and pharma communities for cutting-edge discussions on the evolving patient empowerment and engagement movement.

EMPOWERING PATIENTS ANDTRANSFORMING
CARE WITH PATIENT-REPORTED DATA
Adrienne Boissy, M.D., Chief Experience Officer, Director, Center for Excellence
in Healthcare Communication, Cleveland Clinic; Editor in Chief, Journal of Patient
Experience
11:10 Using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures toTransform Care
Neil Wagle, M.D., Medical Director, Population Health Management & Quality,
Safety, and Value, Partners HealthCare
At Partners HealthCare, we have implemented one of the most forward-
looking Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) platforms in health
care. We use the PROMs platform to engage our patients and help doctors
take better individual care of patients, monitoring them using iPads in the clinic
and reaching them at home through the patient portal, text messaging, email,
and soon a iPhone/Android app. But we also are beginning to use this data
as the basis of comparative effectiveness and quality measurement to finally
determine which of the things we do in healthcare are actually responsible for
the outcomes that matter to patients.
11:35 Co-Presentation: Empowering Patients and Researchers With
Patient-Reported Data
Marcia Nizzari, Vice President, Engineering, Product Development, PatientsLikeMe,
Inc.
Timothy Vaughan, Ph.D., Director, Data Science, PatientsLikeMe, Inc.
PatientsLikeMe provides a social network and a research platform for capturing,
curating, and analyzing patient-reported data. With 275,000+ users and 2,000+
conditions represented, PatientsLikeMe has enabled unique insights into
patients’ behaviors and health outcomes. Patient-reported data is a critical
new input into many areas of healthcare: clinical, payor, pharmaceutical, and
outcomes research will be positively disrupted by this new source of valuable
data. This talk will cover how these data are collected and curated to establish
the “patient voice.” Analytic case studies will demonstrate how unique insights
are revealed.
12:00 pmTransforming Care in the Intensive Care Unit with a Patient-
CenteredToolkit:The PROSPECT Study
David Bates, M.D., Chief Clinical Innovation Officer, Brigham and Women’s Hospital
Care in the ICU is often fragmented, and it is a risky place for patients. We have
developed a patient-centered toolkit which makes available to patients and their
care partners all their key clinical information, which can be accessed via an
iPad. It also includes a microblog function, so that the patient and family and
anyone on the care team can send messages and ask questions. The effort is
funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

Patient Satisfaction, Clinical Outcomes and Operational Efficiencies
Terhilda Garrido, Vice President, HIT Transformation & Analytics in National Quality,
Kaiser Permanente
Michael Kanter, M.D., Medical Director of Quality & Clinical Analysis, Kaiser
Permanente
Technology-enabled access to personal health data can lead to better health
outcomes, higher satisfaction and improved patient-physician relationships.
By combining access to personal health record information with relevant
health management tools, Kaiser Permanente has created one of the most
widely used patient portals in the world. Naturally, by providing easy access
to services like viewing lab test results online or emailing a clinician, we have
seen an impact on utilization of other services. Kaiser Permanente was ahead
of the curve when it came to the adoption of a robust personal health record.
For that reason, we have years of valuable insights to share with those on
their own journeys, including the impact of the PHR on utilization of health
care services.
2:50 Intersection ofTechnology and Care: FamiliesTaking More
Responsibility
Julie Fry, Founder, Making Care Easier
When a patient walks out of a medical office or hospital today, it is often into
a black hole with hopes that they follow recommended advice. At home,
care typically falls to the patient themselves or their family members acting
as caregivers. New technologies and software now enable caregivers and
patients to better track what they are doing and to better communicate so as
to successfully take on this new burden of care for which they were probably
not prepared.

9:00 Engaging Patients and Families in Redesigning Care Delivery:
Viewing All Care Experiences throughTheir Eyes
Pamela Greenhouse, MBA, Executive Director, PFCC Innovation Center, University
of Pittsburgh Medical Center
The PFCC Methodology and Practice (PFCC M/P) is a replicable and sustainable
mechanism for moving care delivery from the current state ever closer to the
ideal. Through six easy steps that can be quickly learned and used in any care
setting, we engage patients and families as full partners in care redesign.
Through Shadowing (direct, real-time observation), we identify the current state
of every segment of the healthcare journey. Then we form high performance
inter-professional care teams to close the gaps between the current state and
the ideal. Real-world examples will be presented.
9:25 Co-Presentation: Reducing Mortality: Leveraging Analytics to
Promote a Culture of Partnership & Accountability
Eric Poon, M.D., Chief Health Information Officer, Duke University Health System
Roshan Hussain, Director, Analytics & Public Reporting, Boston Medical Center
With decreasing reimbursements and increasing external pressure to capture
value, health care organizations have to assess the quality that they provide in
terms of patient outcomes. Risk-adjusted mortality rate is a relatively common
outcome measure that healthcare organizations and external drivers (i.e.,
regulatory agencies and payers) use to assess the quality. Even though this
measure is common, it is relatively difficult to move and requires change in the
cultural fabric of an organization. In this presentation, the speakers will describe
the three year journey that BMC took to move its’ relative performance from
the bottom decile of University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) risk adjusted
mortality ratio to the top quartile. They will highlight (1) the use of analysis to
create prioritization; (2) iterative approach of analysis to create trust; (3) building
consensus on patient attribution; (4) providing in-sighting into major levers to
affect change; (5) utility of a mixed push & pull strategy of reporting; and (6)
fostering a non-punitive culture.
9:50 Unlocking Patient and Provider Experience:What’sTechnology
Got to Do with It?
Adrienne Boissy, M.D., Chief Experience Officer, Director, Center for Excellence
in Healthcare Communication, Cleveland Clinic; Editor in Chief, Journal of
Patient Experience
Healthcare organizations across the country are thinking about how to
maximize patient outcomes, engage their clinicians, and leverage technology.
Truth of the matter is that new ways of thinking about our practice and
appropriate use of technology can have an enormous impact. Key to this,
however, is bringing clinicians to the table to use it, build it, and know when old
fashioned methods are actually the most effective. We’ll talk about our patient
experience initiatives, innovations to drive performance of our caregivers and
patient outcomes, and key tactics for engaging experienced clinicians.

Population Health Management and Quality Improvement
Using Technology and Analytics to Predict Outcomes, Target High-Risk Populations and Increase Compliance
With the growing availability of health data, healthcare delivery is moving beyond individual care to population health management. Using technology and
analytics, population health management shifts care from immediate treatment to predictive and preventative care. Cambridge Healthtech Institute and Clinical
Informatics News’ 3rd Annual “Population Health Management and Quality Improvement: Using Technology and Analytics to Predict Outcomes, Target High-Risk
Populations and Increase Compliance,” taking place May 4-5, 2015 at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel in Boston, MA, will bring together thought leaders from

11:10 Data...and the Quest forTheTriple Aim
Joel Reich, M.D., Senior Vice President, Medical Affairs; CMO, Eastern Connecticut
Health Network
Fulfillment of the Triple Aim is dependent upon the collection, exchange, and
analysis of data in many sectors of the healthcare system. This presentation
will explore several key organizational, system, governance, finance, manpower
and technology issues that must be addressed. Discussion will include things
care providers can do at different stages of data system development.
11:35 Population Health Management and Quality Improvement:
Analytics from an At-Risk-Health System’s Perspective
Gowtham Rao, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Informatics Officer, BlueCross BlueShield of SC
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Integrated Delivery Networks
(IDNs, IDSs) are at financial risk for achieving high value healthcare, where
value is defined as the highest quality healthcare for a population of patients
at the lowest possible cost. There is a spectrum of risk for these ACOs/IDNs
when managing various populations and it is important for them to understand
how to use data to better identify these risks. In an evidence-based system
organizations should be able to identify where the risks are and intervene
accordingly. If these organizations manage their populations well, they will
come ahead financially (a win-win). So, how do you reduce waste, increase
quality and accelerate value in healthcare? The presentation will share some
examples and share an approach to: 1) identify patterns, 2) create rules, 3)
identify opportunities to educate providers, and 4) implement change.
12:00 pm Co-Presentation:We Have Data, Now What?
Dominique Morgan-Solomon, Vice President, Population Health, Steward Health

2:10The Art and Science of Stratifying Patients into Risk Levels for
Longitudinal Care Management
Tabassum Salam, M.D., Senior Physician Advisor for Population Health, Department
of Quality, Safety and Population Health, Christiana Care Health System
Since it is unrealistic and unnecessary to offer intensive care management to
every member of a selected population, we ideally seek to identify our patients
who are at highest risk for poor outcomes. It is important to consider what
factors you will use in your stratification program and to develop an algorithm
around them. An essential step to ensuring success is standardized application
of this stratification algorithm, as well as frequent re-analysis of the process
and adjustments as needed.
2:35 Co-Presentation: Population Stratification and Health
Management along the Care Continuum
Christopher Valerian, M.D., CMO, QualCare Alliance Networks (QANI)
Carl Schneider, Manager, Health Informatics, Care Management, QualCare, Inc.
As part of their Population Health Management strategy, QualCare, Inc.
has developed a methodology to place members on the care continuum to
enhance health management interventions. By using predictive modeling,
members are classified as either no/low risk, moderate risk, or high risk based
on their predictive risk score. Depending on where a member falls on the care
continuum determines the level of intervention a member would receive from
health promotion to chronic condition management.

Creagh Milford, M.D., Assistant Medical Director, Massachusetts General Physician
Organization; Associate Medical Director for Population Health Management,
Partners HealthCare, Massachusetts General Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has implemented a system to optimize
appropriate use of high-cost and high-volume surgical procedures. PrOE
(Procedure Order Entry) is a web-based procedural decision support solution
that incorporates four innovations in the peri-procedural process: prospective
appropriateness assessment; shared decision making (SDM); informed consent
that includes personal risk assessment; and collection of procedure-specific
outcomes. PrOE has been implemented for eight surgical procedures at MGH.
We will review benefits to providers, payers, and patients, as well as introduce
an innovative alternative to standard prior authorization processes.
IMPLEMENTING A POPULATION HEALTH STRATEGY

11:00 Implementing a Population Health IT System at Partners
Adrian Zai, M.D., Clinical Director, Population Informatics, Laboratory of Computer
Science, Massachusetts General Hospital
Partners recently implemented a population health information IT system at
3 of its hospitals: Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, and Newton-Wellesley Hospital. In this presentation, Dr. Zai will
discuss the critical components of a population health information system, and
share various interventions that led to improved outcomes.
11:25 Identifying High-Risk Patients and Practice Patterns
Jerry Avorn, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Chief of the
Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics, Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, Partners HealthCare System
How can healthcare systems better use big data to identify high-risk and
problematic patients and practice patterns? Once a problematic pattern is
seen, how do you tailor information for that particular doctor and decide
what docs need what training? The marketing of information is key to change
individual and organizational behavior and improve outcomes, so how does
a large healthcare system do this – address the population and the individual
simultaneously to improve prescribing patterns, outcomes, reimbursement,
Medicare/Medicaid (CMS) Star Ratings, HEDIS scores (or whatever metric is
being used)?
11:50 Frontiers in the Use of Electronic Health Records for Population-
Based Predictive Modeling
Jonathan Weiner, Dr.P.H., Professor, Health Policy & Management and Health
Informatics; Director, Center for Population Health Information Technology (CPHIT),
To date, the majority of “predictive modeling” for population-based case
identification is done using claims and other administrative data sources. In
the near future, the main source of risk information will be derived from the
electronic health record. This presentation will discuss several exciting frontier
areas related to the use of EHRs and other clinical health IT and e-health
systems for such applications. The use of advanced “big data” techniques such
as natural language processing (NLP) “text mining” and dynamic modeling will
also be discussed. Work in progress from Dr. Weiner’s research center at Johns
Hopkins will be shared.

Security andAccess of Healthcare Data for Patients,
Providers,and Payers,Anywhere andAnytime
Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Health Data in a BYOD, Cloud, and Increasingly Regulated Environment
Health data security and privacy are growing concerns with the proliferation of medical devices, connected health technologies, and health information sharing
systems. Safeguarding patient privacy and ensuring data security are key challenges that must be met to allow relevant information sharing among patients,
providers and payers. Cambridge Healthtech Institute and Clinical Informatics News’ 2nd Annual “Security and Access of Healthcare Data for Patients, Providers,
and Payers, Anywhere and Anytime: Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Health Data in a BYOD, Cloud, and Increasingly Regulated Environment,” taking

HEALTHCARE SECURITY AND PRIVACY PRACTICES
FORTHE NEW ENVIRONMENT
Anne Lara, CIO, HIS, Union Hospital
11:10 A Vast and Changing Landscape: How Security and Privacy
Practices Shape the Scenery
Karl West, Chief Information Security Officer; Assistant Vice President, Information
Systems, Intermountain Healthcare
Cyber-attacks are spiraling all across the world. Today’s cyber-attacks are not
the cyber-attacks of a decade ago and the same holds true for cybercriminals.
Unfortunately, healthcare has become a high-value and enticing target for
criminals, complicating strategies for such things as de-identified data for
research, HIPAA breach notification rules, vendor assessment, and patient
consent. The role of the CISO must keep in step with this changing landscape
by understanding the sociology, anthropology, and workforce demographics
of his or her organization in order to continually assess risks, influence the
organization’s behavior, and create a culture of cooperation to navigate the
competing interests of IT and security.
11:35 Protecting Privacy without Harming Patients
Eric Liederman, M.D., Director, Medical Informatics, The Permanente Medical Group
EHRs and HIEs are powerful tools enabling collaborative care and “right
now” access to medical information whenever and wherever needed. Yet
this important capability creates the risk of privacy breaches by authorized
individuals. Addressing this risk through a web of access restrictions risks harm
to patients. An alternative approach, forensic audit data mining combined with
selective use of Break the Glass alerts, creates a culture of self-deterrence of
snooping, while retaining the collaborative power of electronic health systems,
and allowing good, highly trained people to keep their jobs in the face of
temporary temptation.

9:00 Justifying the Role of an Information Security Analyst
Anne Lara, CIO, HIS, Union Hospital
Complying with HIPAA/HITECH regulations and meeting Meaningful Use
requirements are challenges for all healthcare providers. Small community-
based organizations with limited resources are especially taxed to implement
and monitor compliance to the requisite information security controls. This
presentation will provide one community hospital’s journey toward the
realization of HIPAA/HITECH compliance. Such realization included the creation
of a dedicated information security analyst position; the enactment of policies
and procedures; the establishment of monthly educational programs; the
implementation of tools such as mobile device management, web filtering,
and audit logging; and the ongoing auditing of the electronic health record for
appropriate access.
9:25 A Modern CISO’s Role is More thanTech: Achieving the Elusive

Trustworthy Health and Wellness (THaW)
This talk will present a brief overview of a large NSF-funded project that
aims to tackle many of the fundamental research challenges necessary to
provide trustworthy information systems for health and wellness, as sensitive
information and health-related tasks are increasingly pushed into mobile
devices and cloud-based services. The interdisciplinary research team includes
expertise from computer science, business, behavioral health, health policy,
and healthcare information technology to enable the creation of health &
wellness systems that can be trusted by individual citizens to protect their
privacy and can be trusted by health professionals to ensure data integrity and
security. Although these problems are motivated by a nationally important
application domain (health and wellness), the solutions have applications far
beyond that domain.

Steven Steinhubl, M.D., Director, Digital Medicine, ScrippsTranslational Science Institute
A wide spectrum of novel technologies has been developed to allow for
personalized wellness, acute disease diagnostics, and chronic condition
management from home that would otherwise have required an office or
hospital visit. Over a dozen important health and wellness parameters are
capable of being monitored continuously with a watch-like device during
routinely daily activities; parameters currently only available in an Intensive Care
Unit setting such as beat-to-beat blood pressure, cardiac output, ECG, oxygen
saturation, and more. Beyond being just a more convenient way for vital signs
to be monitored, these multiple, continuous data streams offer tremendous
opportunities to understand an individual’s unique and personalized physiologic
responses to daily stressors, and most importantly, help guide healthy
responses to them. Transforming these numerous, vast and inter-related data
streams into understandable and actionable information for the individual and
their healthcare team is a critical requirement for mobile sensor technology to
achieve its potential to improve the health and wellness of all of us.
11:35 Building an Internet ofThings (IoT) for HealthCare to Obtain

wireless, what technology they are using, and the trends over recent years. A
sample of over 400 wireless medical devices have been identified and analyzed for
the type of device, wireless technology and RF characteristics. Not surprising that
the majority of medical devices in the sample operate using wireless technology
commonly used by many other wireless products and in the same frequency
ranges.The issue of how these all will be able to coexist and the medical device
still perform its intended function safely and effectively looms large.

9:00 Evaluating the Impact of mHealth Innovations
This lecture presents a methodology for evaluating the extent to which an
existing or potential app achieves the Triple Aim. By definition, innovation
occurs when an invention is brought into practice. Using the Engineering KPIs
approach, it is possible to see which applications and variations of an invention
provide the greatest performance on the different facets of the Triple Aim.
Given the flexibility that mHealth app developers have to add and subtract

Building EnterpriseArchitecture and Hospital
Information Systems
Delivering Data-Driven Infrastructures to Support Clinical and Financial Transformation
There are great demands on today’s Healthcare CIOs, CMIOs, CFOs, IT Heads and Medical Informaticists to simultaneously plan for the future to ensure business
continuity while also being asked to derive improvements from their current data and systems. In a world of multiple clinical and financial systems and limited
resources, how do you transition from a siloed organization with siloed systems, from a single Hospital Information System or CDSS to Data-Driven Enterprise
Architectures? Cambridge Healthtech Institute and Clinical Informatics News’ “Building Enterprise Architecture and Hospital Information Systems to Improve
Outcomes: Delivering Data-Driven Infrastructures to Support Clinical and FinancialTransformation,” taking place May 4-5, 2015 at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel
in Boston, MA, will bring together CIOs, CMIOs, IT and Finance Heads and Medical Informaticists from providers, payers, integrated delivery networks (IDN) and
integrated delivery systems (IDS) for key discussions on improving quality measures and reimbursement rates with improved systems and analytics.

HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS VS. ENTERPRISE
ARCHITECTURE: FINDINGTHE REAL DATA-DRIVEN
INFRASTRUCTURESTHAT SUPPORT CLINICAL AND
FINANCIALTRANSFORMATION
Matthew Burton, M.D., Applied Clinical Informatics, Office of Information and
Knowledge Management, Mayo Clinic
11:10The Double-Edged Sword of IDNs: A Long, Slow Climb to Value-
Based Care
J.D. Whitlock, Vice President, Clinical & Business Intelligence, Mercy Health
IDNs are blessed and cursed in the (soon to be?) new world order of Value-
Based Care. They have the scope and resources to transform themselves to
meaningfully integrated care. But simultaneously they are typically hamstrung
by conflicting financial incentives, sprawling legacy data architectures immune
to quick fixes, and the same interoperability hurdles everyone else has. This
presentation will examine the challenges and successes of a large Midwest
IDN in the middle of this transition.
11:35 Do No Harm and the Cost of Quality Variation will Require
Disruptive Analytics
Stephen Allegretto, Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis, Yale New Haven
Health System
There are three key standalone data Systems that simply must be integrated
to adequately protect our patients from harm while providing our patients
the care they require to get better at an economically responsible cost. The
cost of poor quality and waste is understood by every other industry. What
stands in the way for healthcare to understand and reduce this variation: the
current organizational ownership and expert knowledge structures supporting
these data coupled with the inability to disrupt these ownership/knowledge
structures. The traditional standalone information systems capturing these
patient data include the EMR, Business Systems and the clinical quality
registries. This presentation will explore YNHHS’ efforts to disrupt these data
silos for the benefit of the patient and their journey to get better. Practical
applications of how these three systems and their data were integrated at
the patient level to reduce unnecessary variation for concurrent, retrospective
and predictive patient management, outcomes and resource utilization will
be demonstrated.
12:00 pm Five Competencies for Designing a New Health Care
Architecture
A modern health enterprise – where business and clinical decisions are
powered by data – stands in stark contrast to the existing status quo across
health and life sciences. Historical approaches to medical informatics are
incapable of supporting the sophisticated insights needed to optimize the
tradeoffs between health outcomes and costs, and between standardized
medical treatment plans and more personalized care practices. The health
industry’s technology lens is shifting from purely retrospective, presumptive,
and practice-oriented policies towards collaborative, data-driven, predictive,
patient-centered, and real-time engagement-oriented processes. To be
effective, IT organizations will need more rigorous competencies in five
key areas: enterprise architecture, data sciences (including advanced
analytics), performance management, computing resource management, and
agile methods.
12:25 Co-Presentation: Clinical NLP for Predictive Sponsored by
Risk Models, Point-of-Care Insights and Patient
Engagement: Challenges and Opportunities
David Milward, Ph.D., CTO, Linguamatics
Simon Beaulah, Director, Healthcare Strategy, Linguamatics
Vital patient insights essential to addressing rising costs, accountable care and
meaningful use are trapped in unstructured text. New NLP approaches within
HIT architectures are providing access to specific data buried in unstructured
text to power predictive models (e.g. readmissions and pulmonary nodule),
point-of-care insights and patient engagement.

2:10The Healthcare Services Platform Consortium: An Opportunity to
FosterTruly Interoperable Health Care Applications
Stanley Huff, M.D., Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Intermountain Information
Systems
After more than a year of planning, the Health Services Platform Consortium
(HSPC) has been incorporated as a non-profit entity consisting of providers
and vendors that are dedicated to fostering the development and use of
interoperable applications in health care. The primary strategy is to establish
a middle tier of standards-based services for data access, privacy and role-
based authentication of users along with other capabilities to support business
process management and decision support. The HSPC has adopted the HL7
FHIR model for data access. It enables the EHR integration of SMART apps
and also applications with additional functionality enabled by the expanded
range of middle-tier services to be available.
2:35 Clinical Research and the Medical Record: Mandates of
Interoperability in the Modern Era
Sorena Nadaf, Director, Translational Informatics; CIO, School of Medicine & Cancer
Center, University of California, San Fransisco
This presentation will share our experiences at UCSF as we are building the
Architecture across a matrix academic institution leveraging clinical research

informatics and the electronic medical record. Such an endeavor has been
complicated on many levels. However it is important for the future of precision
medicine and medical informatics.

9:00 Hardwiring Clinical Evidence into Enterprise Architecture and
Governance: Operations, Clinical and Finance
Evon Holladay, Vice President, Enterprise Intelligence, Catholic Health Initiatives
If we were constructing a building we would not think of starting without
an architectural diagram. Healthcare - operations and information systems
rarely have this advantage. Come learn how a $15B healthcare system with
multiple electronic health record systems is using governance and operational
processes to hardwire clinical evidence - and building a bridge to financial and
operational data.
9:25 Co-Presentation: Designing an Enterprise Architecture IT
Strategy: Ensuring Business Continuity, Enabling Access, Achieving
Security
Medical Center
Roshan Hussain, Director, Analytics & Public Reporting, Boston Medical Center
This presentation will share a story from the last 13 months wherein BMC
went through a process of systems re-evaluation and business strategy
development. The process included finance, IT, medical, privacy and other
organizational leaders. When examining the risks to business continuity what
criteria were used? What was the systems selection process? How were
costs/ROI/legacy systems evaluated? Once investments in new systems were
made and new process improvements were identified, what was the impact
on the organization? The goal: to achieve business continuity for years to come
and to effectively roll it out.
9:50 WorkingTogether: A Cross-Industry Collaboration Focused on
Bringing the Benefits of Genetic Aware Clinical Decision Support to
Everyone
Samuel “Sandy” AronsonSamuel “Sandy” Aronson, Executive Director, IT, Partners
Healthcare Personalized Medicine
Truly genetics enabling the Electronic Health Record (EHR) ecosystem on
a broad scale will require significant sustained collaboration between EHR
vendors, Laboratory system vendors, Providers, Laboratories, Standards Bodies,
Patient Advocates and Government.The Institution of Medicine has established
an action collaborative that brings these groups together for the purpose of
speeding the development of critical support.This talk will describe this effort,
where it is currently focused, and the challenges and opportunities we face.
CASE STUDIES IN WORKFLOW AUTOMATION AND
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
11:00 Co-Presentation:Workflow Optimization and Cognitive Support
for Development and Delivery of Clinical Best Practices
William Bria, M.D., CMIO, The HCI Group; President, AMDIS (Association of Medical
Directors of Information Systems)
Matthew Burton, M.D., Applied Clinical Informatics, Office of Information and
Knowledge Management, Mayo Clinic
There is an overwhelming need to provide the means and mechanisms for
advanced practices to continually and consistently deliver the Next Best
Practices. To do so, information and knowledge management tools must be
fit to clinician mental models and integrate into optimized clinical workflows.
Clinical informatics, design, software development, and systems engineering
principles and best practices can be employed in the development of such
systems. These systems may be conceptualized as components organized into
a platform to enable or even catalyze practice redesign in the ultimate service
of patients as well as their providers.
11:25 ARMADA (Advanced Research Management and Data Analysis):
Protocol Management System For Early Phase Cancer ClinicalTrials
Daniel Karp, M.D., Professor of Medicine; Medical Director, Clinical and Translational
Research Center, Investigational Cancer Therapeutics, University of Texas MD
Anderson Cancer Center
We have developed a working computer system that helps a high volume
clinical research unit conduct cancer clinical trials in a more efficient and
accurate way. The ARMADA Protocol Guidance System has had a major
impact on drug development and patient care at MDACC: documenting
complex requirements in real time, producing a complete list of all protocol
requirements completed via a graphic interface, revolutionized clinical
research as well as the billing process in MD Anderson CTRC with increased
productivity and significant cost savings.
11:50 Diagnostic Imaging: A Paradigm for the Potential of Decision
Support, Analytics and Enterprise Architecture in Health Care
Martin Reed, M.D., Radiologist, Diagnostic Imaging, Children’s Hospital, Canada
Integrating decision support for diagnostic imaging into physicians’ workflow has
been shown to change physicians’ practice. Analytics integrated into these systems
can be used to assess and improve physicians’ performance. In this presentation
I will review the work that has been done, including work done by the Canadian
Association of Radiologists, on integrating decision support into computerized order
entry systems for diagnostic imaging. I will discuss the current state of integrated
decision support for diagnostic imaging. I will also discuss the role that integrated
analytics can play in assessing and improving physicians’ performance and,
referencing work being done in Canada and elsewhere, the potential for analytics
for diagnostic imaging and other areas of medicine in an enterprise architecture to
support clinical transformation and improved population health.
