Session Highlights
Keynote:
Delivering and Measuring the Value of Technology in a World-class Healthcare Organization Without far-reaching reforms, many health care systems will not survive the next 15 years, according to the study “HealthCast 2020” by analysts from PriceWaterhouseCoopers. It is already evident today that the crisis will not be able to be solved using conventional means. The sustainable transformation of health care systems requires both a new level of quality in the cooperation of all players in the health care system and a significant intensification of communication and global transfer of knowledge.

Increased efficiency through the transition from an institutional system to a patient-oriented informational approach will play a crucial role. This approach requires all-encompassing transparency, interoperability and standardization of the entire treatment process. Against this background, information technology is gaining in strategic importance in the transformation of health care systems.

This presentation will look at different aspects of business value in a healthcare organization, including what it is and how it is currently measured at Asklepios Future Hospital. Additionally, the challenges that collaboration in the industry brings, especially regarding insurance companies and their expections, will be discussed, along with the overall value that IT can bring. Finally, some lessons learned will be shared.

Session 1:
Measuring the Business Value of Healthcare IT
At times it can be tough to justify the cost of purchasing/ implementing new healthcare IT—particularly since most organizations’ budgets are notoriously tight and predicting HIT return on investment (ROI) can be daunting. Using a case study from Banner Health, this session will:

  • Illustrate the benefits of applying an established economic model when assessing new technologies
  • Demonstrate how technology can add value to your business when deployed effectively
  • Examine how using economic modeling impacts healthcare IT and paves the way for improvements

Session 2:
Transforming Healthcare: Workflow Optimization Goes Mobile
This seminar will be your opportunity to examine and debate, with thought leading colleagues from across Europe, the transforming value of going mobile at the point of care, why mobility is a game-changing technology enabler, and how to get there.

  • Is optimizing patient-care workflows on your mind?
  • Are you thinking about improving clinical, operations and business processes as inter-related activities?
  • Are you looking for methods and tools to evaluate whether investment in mobility is right for your organization?
  • Have you tried leading edge technologies and received questionable return on investment?

During the interactive first half of the session participants will:

  • Review the correlation between healthcare transformation and optimizing patient-care workflows with going mobile at the point of care
  • Examine why and how mobile point of care solutions deliver greater value than mobile technology ingredients in isolation
  • Learn how other organizations successfully capitalized on mobility to transform their patient-care workflows
  • Examine decision making processes for going mobile at the point of care: is your organization ready?
  • Apply key learnings from the previous session on Measuring the Business Value of HIT to determine the value of going mobile at the point of care

The second half of the session is a facilitated hands-on exercise during which, you will:

  • Practice Mobile Point of Care value modeling technique
  • Define Value Dials and Key Performance Indicators of Mobile Point Of Care for your organization
  • Outline what was learned to share with your colleagues

About Intel in Healthcare
Intel recognizes that its work in the healthcare industry is not about solving technology problems; it's about solving people problems. The challenge inspires Intel to pursue technology definition and product development, as well as to serve in an advisory role. A prime example is guiding hospitals through the process of deploying key technologies, such as wireless networking. Intel does so by lending hospitals the design expertise of its solutions specialists, as well as by engaging the solution delivery expertise of third-party service providers.

These efforts align with the company's overall Digital Health initiative, which draws on Intel's heritage of technology innovation to help usher in improvements in the fundamental areas of healthcare quality, access and cost.
