Population Health and Interoperability:  

At the crossroads of both - Your patient's chart

When it comes to tackling population health, care teams need clarity and data to drive decisions. Setting plans in motion requires the right tools needed to get a clear picture of your patient populations — who they are, where they've been, and where they're going. See how effective use of registries and aggregated data in the patient's chart can drive better care management decisions in the quest to deliver on the triple aim.

Neither geographical boundaries nor hospital affiliation should hinder a clinician’s access to patient records. There’s many different routes to achieve interoperability, just as there are many different routes that a patient and their records can travel. Interoperability isn’t really about clicks, or C-CDAs, or interfaces, or data. It’s about people, and simplifying healthcare to make their lives better. That means bridging the gaps that can happen during care transitions, making sure a patient’s record goes wherever they go. And ensuring that patient information always reaches the right clinician, when and where it’s supposed to.

Learning objectives:

●     Learn how the use of registries and aggregated patient data can drive more coordinated care management decisions

●     See how analytics can turn data into actionable knowledge 

●     Hear how access to non-network EHR data can improve efficiency and quality of care

Embracing Medical Scribing to  Increase Revenue and Decrease Physician Burnout

Physicians spend about 50% of their time documenting patient visits and only 27% with direct patient care.  Physician burnout leads to unhappy physicians and patients, poor physician performance, and a strain on the medical practice as these physicians can create unproductive, stressful environments.

A study published in JAMA Dermatology followed the implementation of a scribe program over 12 months in a large dermatology practice.  The findings included a 50% reduction in documenting time, a willingness by 79% of physicians to increase their patient volumes, and a 7.7% increase in revenue. 

In this session, Andrea Caliri, M.D.,  MindLeaf Medical Consultant and

John Kemp, M.D., Subject Matter Expert – Virtual Scribes will:

•  Describe the pros and cons of physical, virtual and dictation scribing options
• Discuss how to determine which scribing solutions are the best fit for your practice
• Explain how scribing can reduce physician burnout by improving work-life balance
• Discuss how you can increase your physician productivity and return-on-investment by increasing the number of patients seen per hour
• Provide you with a medical scribe options calculator that will help you identify the annual cost savings from each type of scribing solution.

Better Data for Better Health: Enhancing Community Data in 

New York City

WEBINAR ONLY

TIME 10-11:30AM

• In this presentation, members of the HealthDataViz team will share their recent work redesigning NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (NYC DoHMH) interactive public health data website.  The new, groundbreaking site is an innovative example of how public health agencies, providers, payers, policy makers and researchers can present complex health and healthcare data from different sources in an engaging and exciting way. 

  Every month more than 1,000 people visit the NYC Epiquery (a combination of the words Epidemiology and Query) website to access public health survey, vital records and surveillance data and related information. Leveraging Tableau data visualization software, HealthDataViz collaborated with a team of experts in Information Technology, Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Database Management to re-imagine the website’s design and technology architecture.  They revamped the site with rich media and graphical presentation of data, improved user experience through guided navigation, and added advanced statistical analysis capabilities. The new site employs best practices of data visualization and innovative use of technology to create a seamless, easy-to-use and high-impact application that enables policy makers, researchers, program developers and the general public to easily access and understand the data they need for decision-making.  HealthDataViz will showcase examples ranging from the user-friendly Community Health Profiles designed for novice users to the sophisticated exploratory and statistical tools designed for experts to perform in-depth analysis and statistical testing about topics such as quality of care, social determinants of health and population health trends.

  Lessons to be learned:

  • A great example of presenting complex health data tailored to different audiences
  • How best practices in data visualization were applied in the new website
  • Various user needs and how they were considered to create a website effective for everyone from the novice to the advanced data user
  • An overview of the technology innovations that enabled the final product to be realized

• Speakers:  Dan Benevento, Principal, HealthDataViz and Cambria Brown, Consultant, HealthDataViz

User behavior causes 68% of corporate security breaches.  Users choose convenience over security, blur the line between personal and professional identity, and create risk for you.  Especially true in healthcare, with so many needing quick and easy access to sensitive data, it’s been a problem for decades.  Traditional security awareness efforts haven’t had much impact, so what now?

There’s a new approach emerging to solve this, combining the behavior science behind addictive consumer apps with security automation.  User Behavior Management makes improving security fast, simple, and personally rewarding – and enables organizations to understand and benchmark user-based risk, and target, drive, and measure user behavior.

Based on research and customer operations across 1 million people, Covered Security has delivered a User Behavior Management platform that motivates and empowers people to improve their security – and reduce the risk to their employers.  It’s like Fitbit for user security. 

Please join us to see what Covered Security has learned about the keys to successfully measuring and changing user behavior.

Learning Objectives:

• Why users are compromised online at a rate 124.7% higher than security professionals
• Behavior science research findings that can be used to drive user behavior
• Measuring and benchmarking an organization’s level of user-driven risk
• How to efficiently target security awareness efforts
• Effectively driving security behavior change with personalization, gamification, and rewards
