Microsoft will be hosting three lunch and learn sessions during the week: Medical Image Archiving: Reducing Complexity and Addressing Growth and Compliance Presented by Mohamed Ayad, Solution Sales Specialist, Microsoft Corporation Monday, February 24 12:30pm – 1:30pm | Orange County Convention Center Rm: W203A Growth of clinical data storage requirements, capital budget constraints, and aging, inefficient servers/equipment are ranked as the top three challenges healthcare organizations face in datacenter management. Storage management, especially for large medical images, can result in requirements for significant additional storage and infrastructure to manage. At this session, we’ll discuss ways to reduce time, cost, and complexity in managing and maintaining medical imaging content, and ways to respond quickly to changing requirements and business needs. We’ll also cover compliance and governance, and address disaster recovery. Lessons in Clinical Mobility & Productivity Hosted by Margaret Arakawa, General Manager, US Windows and Surface Marketing, Microsoft Corporation Moderated by Dr. Bill Crounse, Senior Director, Worldwide Health, Microsoft Corporation Panelists: Bradley Dick, CIO, Resurgens Orthopedics Oscar Marroquin M.D., Director of the Center for Interventional Cardiology Research Nick Patel M.D., Medical Director, Palmetto Health Wes Wright, CIO, Seattle Children's Hospital Tuesday, February 25 12:00pm – 1:00pm | Orange County Convention Center Rm: W203A Clinicians are finding new and surprising benefits to using mobile devices in their environments. Leaders in this area have moved away from multiple devices used daily to a single device for clinicians to manage their workload, collaborate with care teams and engage their patients, all while safeguarding patient data. Come hear from industry experts and top physicians from large and mid-size providers who will discuss their experiences and best practices, showing how they are being more efficient while providing improved patient care.
Best Practices in BI and Analytics in Healthcare Presented by Microsoft Wednesday, February 26 12:30pm – 1:30pm | Orange County Convention Center Rm: W203A Epic’s embedded healthcare analytics platform – Cogito - provides clinical and business intelligence that supports roles across the Clinician, Manager, and Business Leadership functions. By partnering with Microsoft’s System Integrators, healthcare providers have incorporated Microsoft technology to leverage Epic investments and have implemented Microsoft BI technologies to assist in their analytics, reporting, and data reuse efforts. During this session, you learn how one of your Epic peers has extended the Cogito data schema to implement a series of new metrics and reports to facilitate “physician pay for performance”. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions during and after the panel discussion. Lunch will be provided, so register early. |
