Considering the Cloud: Inside the Mind of the Healthcare CIO Webinar
Cloud services have rapidly changed the nature of data management across industries. In healthcare, organizations are increasingly deploying cloud-based solutions to capture, store, and analyze clinical data. Although implementation of the cloud entails new ways of thinking about governance, technical integration, and security, cloud technologies can contribute to significant improvements in operational flexibility while reducing costs. This webinar explores the role of the cloud in transforming healthcare processes. Panelists will describe why their organizations chose to implement cloud technologies, how they developed governance and security policies to protect data in the cloud, and the impact of the cloud on the enterprise. Speakers include:

Big Data - A Starring Role in Healthcare Information Architectures
One of the top priorities for CIOs today is capitalizing on the explosion of data volumes and complex data types available to their organizations today. While many are considering big data for its agility and cost advantages, they are questioning how best to leverage this still nascent technology.
Providing a Repository of Data
The Wellport HIE in a rural area of Northeast Massachusetts provides a repository of data for almost 260,000 patients. Data feeds to the repository come from labs, SureScripts, hospitals, and physician practices. Clinicians can access this data through a portal. The patient data displays in a timeline format. The clinician can click on any appointment on the timeline and open an actual progress note. The note can be attached along with others to a Direct message to themselves, the patient, or another clinician or institution. Wellport also provides a patient portal where the patient can view and send their data, update their demographics, and request appointments, prescription refills or send a message to their clinician. Over 9,600 patients have opted in to use the system. Wellport also extracts performance measures from its database for Beth Israel Deaconess Health Care affiliated physicians and relays them for analytics.
Implementation of an automated care team finder
Healthshare Exchange of Southeastern Pennsylvania (HSX) has implemented an automated care team finder that allows a hospital to find the patient’s primary care doctor using a directory of Direct addresses. The automated care team finder uses the patient’s member identification with his or her healthcare insurer to identify providers involved in the patient’s recent medical care. The identified providers receive C-CDA documents with emergency department and inpatient discharge summaries using Direct Secure Messaging. HSX has sent over 70,000 discharge summaries using this method with 51 percent of these documents sent to providers across health systems.
