Connected medicine is on the mind of every healthcare executive and IT professional from coast to coast. They're all asking themselves, "How do we connect across our enterprise and reach beyond our walls to access and use all of our healthcare data meaningfully? How can we connect providers throughout the continuum of care – both in the community and acute care environments – to maximize profits, increase quality of care, improve patient safety and become eligible for maximum stimulus incentives under ARRA?"

Lisa Khorey, Director of Interoperability from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)* will share how UPMC tried consolidating its best-of-breed systems through a comprehensive single-vendor approach to discover that only through an interoperability platform could they finally realize their vision for fully connected medicine, both within and outside UPMC's vast healthcare system.

You'll hear:

  • Lessons learned along the way
  • Challenges in reaching all five levels of interoperability
  • How dbMotion and Initiate Systems have played a central role in moving UPMC way ahead of the curve in being prepared for the future

 

Key take-aways:

  • How to anticipate the unexpected
  • Understand why interoperability is critical for success
  • What to focus on today to get results: tomorrow is closer than you think
