Breakout Sessions: Journey to Change
Session 1: IT Bricks and Mortar to Optimize Patient Centered Medical Homes*
Location: Grand Ballroom
Description: This session showcased concrete examples of how information technology-enabled Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) care models have led to improvements in health outcomes. Panelists discussed their use of strategies and tools (such as registries, clinical decision support and panel management) to increase IT-enabled PCMH-effectiveness in a variety of healthcare settings, and discussed how to support better uptake and spread of promising practices. Questions the panelists addressed included: What are the high yield HIT investments to optimize PCMH cost, quality and population health outcomes? What are the key operational learnings for practices across the country? What should other stakeholders (i.e., payers, employers, state government, vendors) consider to improve IT-enabled PCMH performance?
Session 2: Sustaining the New Paradigm: Clinician Use Experiences and Strategies
Location: Mount Vernon Square
Description: During this session, clinicians from a variety of practice settings shared real-life health information IT adoption stories and detailed specific clinical outcomes achieved by using health IT. The panelists will shared how meaningful use helped focus and accelerate their adoption efforts, how they overcame barriers, and also explored some unintended consequences to using HIT. These clinicians inspired you to try some of the approaches or share them with others!
Session 3: Transforming Health Care at the State Level
Location: Renaissance West A
Description: This session highlighted how states are driving health IT-enabled health care transformation using tailored approaches. It explored questions such as: What are the most critical opportunities to use health IT to lower health care costs for states? What kind of delivery systems and health IT capacity will we need to address the opportunity of integrated care for dual eligibles? How are states driving adoption of health IT and attainment of meaningful use in 2011?
Session 4: Educating and Engaging Individuals in their Care
Location: Congressional B
Description: Come learn about the 'I' in health IT! This session discussed how consumer eHealth strategies and tools can empower 'I'ndividuals to be partners in their healthcare through the use of health information technology. Panelists highlighted specific examples of their consumer engagement strategies - from connecting one-on-one through stories to using consumer eHealth tools to engage patients.
Session 5: The Vendor Landscape: Meaningful Use and Beyond
Location: Renaissance East
Description: This session utilized two facilitated panel discussions to highlight key opportunities for collaboration between ONC grantees and vendors to achieve the shared goal of getting providers to meaningfully use EHRs. The second half of the sessions participants broke out into 5 workgroups to identify and prioritize collaborative activities for the first half of 2012 that would accelerate adoption and use. The final 10 minutes of the session included a report out of the work groups.
Session 6: Tackling Disparities with Health IT
Location: Congressional A
Description: This session highlighted how HITECH-funded programs and health care providers are harnessing health IT to both identify and reduce health disparities among racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographically diverse populations. Participants from a variety of geographies and practice settings shared their experiences in using a complement of strategies, services, and health IT to unearth disparities and target interventions that address the needs of patients, under-resourced providers, and data sharing partners.
Session 7: S&I Framework: Helping Shape Interoperability and Improve Patient Care
Location: Renaissance West B
Description: The Office of Standards and Interoperability (OSI) is charged with enabling people to solve interoperability challenges, curating a portfolio of things that work, and enforcing compliance with standards to achieve interoperability. While technical solutions to interoperability can be complex, the lack of interoperability among EHRs has a real and significant impact on patient care. In this interactive session, attendees heard the personal story of a patient with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer who is facing many challenges managing her treatment across multiple providers and organizations. This lead into a panel of S&I leaders who discussed their projects and how they relate to the patient's experience, highlighting how grantees and other participants can leverage the work of the OSIÂ and the S&I framework standards and services to support better coordinated and more efficient care. Our goal was to showcase opportunities for stakeholders to become involved and to create a sense of urgency for participants to engage to solve these real world problems. |
