#1 
"Custom .NET Development: Integrate to Innovate"
Electronic pill bottles meet glowing orbs to improve patient participation. Camera phones meet an existing web application to improve woundcare. Patients in Cambodia meet with doctors in America via the Internet as it is quite literally pedaled around dirt roads on the back of a bike carrier.
Custom .NET software can be the glue that integrates your applications. Learn the 7 keys to success, and the 5 pitfalls, of managing an integration project. The only thing more surprising than the combinations are the remarkable results. Claricode founder Andrew Needleman will give you a glimpse into the future of healthcare through (to say the least) unique real-world stories and live, on-stage demonstrations.
#2 
"Using Technology to Promote Quality Care"
Future improvements in the quality of health care delivery will be directly tied to information technology. Access to up to date and accurate patient information coupled with clinical evidence can facilitate creation of treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of patients. The presentation will show how electronic health records (EHRs), on-line clinical decision support and evidence-based medicine, and advanced reporting tools that analyze and measure clinical outcomes are making a difference in today's leading-edge health care institutions. We will also explore the current mandate at the national, regional, and local levels to bring these tools to all health care facilities, physician's offices, etc. and the importance of developing interoperability standards that keep everyone connected -- providers, payers, and especially patients.
MEDITECH is the leading supplier of health care information systems in North America, with roughly 30 percent of acute care facilities across the United States and Canada using the company's integrated applications. The company will share insights and success stories from its vast experiences of working with its 2,000-plus customers where health care information technology has improved patient safety and quality outcomes.
#3 
"Secure Collaboration in Healthcare"
Instant messaging is heading down the path of becoming as critical an application as eMail in most industries, and healthcare is no exception. And Instant Messaging is just one of the many real-time collaboration services that advanced software offers. These services bring productivity enhancements, cost cutting, and even new forms of revenue. All these benefits are of little value in healthcare unless the services can be made secure and industry compliant. Learn how Concordant and U C How Technologies are providing institutions and organizations with collaboration services that are secure and compliant. Julie LeMoine, CEO of U C How Technologies and a 20-year veteran in secure business solutions, will present background on real-time collaboration services, the spectrum of their applicability to Healthcare initiatives, plus the features to look for in such systems to be HIPAA security and corporate security policy compliant. Ms. LeMoine will describe the 100% HIPAA security compliant Secure Private OfficeTM system, and Concordant's experienced Healthcare team will address deployment issues.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Business leaders in the Healthcare Industry, Dr. to Dr.
communication advocates, CFOs, CIOs, IT staff, Communication staff, etc.

#5 
"Identity... the Foundation to Access all your Organization's Information"
Multiple IDs, multiple repositories of identity to manage, multiple clinical systems, long log-in times, remote access, multiple application platforms . and now you have to support multiple devices and integrate biometrics/proximity! It's a lot to handle all at the same time.
Novell, the leader in Identity Management, has built a solution specific to the healthcare workflow, designed alongside clinicians .Novell Clinical Workstation. Novell is the only vendor that incorporates three-level identity within this solution: who you are, where you're coming from, AND what device you're on. Additionally, while following HIPAA regulations associated with unique identity, this solution features minimal second login at the network & application levels and fast patient switching between multiple clinical applications.
Novell Clinical Workstation is a "buffet" of offerings, and you'll observe this in our demo. Pick and choose what your organization needs, or wants to bite off on initially. Clinicians will certainly see great value in this solution!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: CIOs, IT staff, CMOs, Clinical Department heads>
