Michael Zaroukian – The Diverse Roles of Physicians in HealthIT
Love the analogy of enough oxygen and breathing – if you can’t breathe it does not matter – same with Health IT
You can have Oxygen but if you cant breathe it doesn’t matter – same with EHR usability (workflow?)

Population Health Management: Using Geomapping to Enable Data-Driven Decisions Today
By Brian Jacobs
Great introduction to Geo Spatial mapping of data and how it can be used in healthcare – we already use this to map crime, climate and military applications – why not healthcare
They Focused on 4 conditions
- Burns in Infants
- Childhood Obesity
- Sickle Cell Disease
- Influenza
Burn Data showed some unusual associations including race whihc played a significant role in mechanism & severity of burn and were able to reduce burns in these communities by addressing with information campaigns and simple ideas like reducing the hot water temperature in the tank.
Interestingly they looked at Childhood obesity and its relationship to last food restaurant location believing that location of fast food restaurants was closely tied to childhood obesity but found it was not
In Part 2 Joshua Vest made some interesting points about the long history of geo-mapping of data and healthcare (Cholera one of the early examples)
Some great visual showing outbreaks of disease – including the latest whooping cough outbreak and the hot spots incidence
Great slide on changing in number of EHR vendors in use in different areas
Zip Codes are good for delivering mail – but not so good for Geo-Spatial Data usage
Turning Data into Information: The Power of Clinical and Business Intelligence – Michael Buck
Some great thoughts around data and the various types of data and how we can use it with intelligent agents – applying data agents (software with intelligence) to search for patients at risk or suffering from sepsis to identify and apply early intervention
The Impact of Medical Mobile Technologies: An Interactive Discussion
Great and at times heated discussion on mobile technologies and the validity of the data being collected and submitted into clinical practices – worth looking at the feed for the interaction occurring in the audience
The Pressures and the Politics of Participating in an Integrated Clinical Network
C. Martin Harris, Chief Infomration Officer, Cleveland Clinic
William T Allen Executive Medical Director FTI Consulting
Gurdev Singh, Chief Infomration Officer Renal Care
An integrated clinical network can deliver a higher quality of care at a lower cost by positively impacting population health. While completive models have emerged from both the hospital and the ambulatory perspective, this session will explore the opportunities and challenges, including but not limited to the pressures, the politics, and the process, from both models by examining multiple facility approaches.
Achieving Clinical Transformation with an Interoperable Health IT Infrastructure
Stanley M. Huff, MD CMIO, Intermountain Healthcare
How can we build a healthcare system that offers advanced healthcare models, quality measures, and patient-centered accountable care initiatives while moving beyond the implementation focus of achieving the Meaningful Use of health IT? This session will focus on achieving the vision of an interoperable – standards-based-clinical transformation.
