--FREE Opening Keynote--The Explosive Growth of Medical Tourism and What it Means to the Healthcare IndustryUntil the past few years, globalization has impacted virtually every industry – except healthcare. Not anymore. Highly-trained expat doctors and nurses are returning to their homeland to work in state-of-the-art hospitals…for a lot less money. The upshot? Countries like India can offer inexpensive, high quality medical procedures to North American and European patients…and they’re buying. Robert K. Crone, MD John Helfrick, DDS, MS, FACD, FICD

--FREE Opening Keynote--eEnabled Medical PracticeOver the past three years, clinical computing has experienced its most rapid growth since the introduction of information technology into healthcare. The concepts of office based work flow, clinical decision support, health maintenance management and protocol management are becoming fundamental principles utilized in the operation of the medical office that has evolved into the information age. An adjunct to this online model of practice has been the rapid access to health information for clinicians and patients. The intersection of the computerization of office practice, web based information management and e-health initiatives, portends the next great advance in the e-volution of the practice of medicine. Cleveland Clinic is deploying a series of e-health initiatives including direct access to information for patient, on-line consultative services and long-term care monitoring, all under a new clinical information technology based division known as e-Cleveland Clinic. This presentation will describe the transformation process to the information age at Cleveland Clinic and its implications for medical practice in the short and long term. C. Martin Harris, MD, MBA, FHIMSS |

Enhancing Emergency Response through HITOperational & Financial Benefits to the Healthcare Continuum: Medical emergencies can take many forms, but no matter what the form, time is of the essence. Emergency medical responders - 9-1-1, EMS, hospital emergency departments, and supporting organizations such as law, fire, and transportation - need vital information about the patient, the incident and their status throughout the continuum of care. Within the near future, this vision will become reality as responders have access to far more information, faster than ever before. Panelists will discuss this vision of informed emergency medical response and what it could mean to patient outcomes and the efficiencies that impact the bottomline to healthcare organizations and providers Speakers: Jack Potter, MD Gregg Lord, BA, NREMT-P Cindy Hearrell RN,BA,CEN |

HIMSS NI Research Results: Best Practices in Implementing Nursing/Interdisciplinary Documentation SystemsIn 2007 the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Task Force and the HIMSS Management Engineering Work Group undertook an ambitious project – to uncover the nation’s best practice examples for the implementation of nursing/interdisciplinary documentation systems. With an amazing 100% participation from U.S. clinical information system vendors, each vendor submitted from one to three interviewee recommendations for their most advanced customers – culminating in total of 13 of the country’s most successful nursing documentation systems. The research goals, were to add to our NI knowledge base; to capture, report on, and establish best practices; obtain tools to share with the NI community and make available on the HIMSS NI Website; to enable informatics clinicians to cite this research as they defend and substantiate their project recommendations and budgets; and to position those organizations who are embarking on an implementation for success. Best practices for leadership models; clinical transformation; project management; use of superusers; rollout models; integration/interoperability; benchmarking; nursing languages; communication plans; and number and type of devices are provided.
