9:00 – 10:00 AM:
Transformation of Healthcare into a Patient-Centric, Digital Field
Accountable Care Organizations and Integrated Delivery Networks are two ways that health systems are reacting to healthcare reform as they live in a straddling environment where they try to operate in the funding available today
while anticipating a changed method of reimbursement in the future. The implication of the impact of healthcare reform on the entire US healthcare system will be presented with a focus on how these changes impact the technological needs of the organization. It will be stressed
that being "at the table" is preferable to being "on the menu." The technology that allows healthcare systems to process real-time information and realize the goals of the patient-centered medical home movement will be discussed.
Bill Felkey, Professor Emeritus of Healthcare Informatics: Auburn University

10:00 – 10:30 AM: Technology Showcase - Visit Vendor tables and Network

10:30 – 11:20 AM: Getting Ready for the Next Wave of Portable Information Technology
Mobile Health (mhealth) is allowing aging services professionals to be as connected as they wish. The opportunities to employ portable information appliances throughout the continuum of care and administratively are many.

Increased telecommunication options allow for a new set of the "five rights" to be considered. These are: the right person, doing the right intervention, in the right facility, for the right patient, at the right time. This session will explore the many capabilities offered by portable information technology in today's provision of healthcare.

3:30 – 4:30 PM: Things to Consider Before Signing a Health IT Agreement
This session will cover how the process of purchasing IT is very different from other items that are purchased during the normal course for a healthcare provider. Unless the functionality of the system is accurately described and the security and regulatory obligations and risks properly allocated, the healthcare provider may acquired a product that exposes them to substantial regulatory risk and have an agreement that provides little more than an obligation for the provider to pay the IT company's bill.
Michael Batt: Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, P.C.
