Telehealth

Wi-Fi is pervasive in healthcare. It provides vital connectivity for doctors, clinical data, biomedical devices, guests, and hospital staff. This webinar will describe standards that will aid network managers in implementing a high-performance and secure Wi-Fi network amidst regulatory requirements and cyber-attacks. The presenter will dive into design standards, why they are important, and how they can be implemented. The host is sure to offer the guest presenter some difficult questions, so you won’t want to miss this deep dive.

Connected health and remote patient monitoring, combined with interactive patient engagement apps, have a tremendous potential to transform chronic disease management in the hospital setting and beyond. But deploying such programs, and managing the IoT assets they often depend on, can pose a host of challenges at both the provider and the patient level.

Dr. Andrew Muth, a Clinical Informatics Fellow at Banner Health/University of Arizona, will discuss key aspects of this initiative, including waivers, consents, and HIPAA compliance. In addition, Dr. Muth will identify strategies for implementing telehealth programs at other organizations.

What patients want from telemedicine tools are care quality and user experience.

Andrea Perry, Emergency Department Clinical Nurse Educator at Sutter Roseville Medical Center, will discuss how the Medical Center’s Emergency Department (ED) improved clinical communication and collaboration through the creation of a targeted response team and more streamlined processes and communication tools. 

Telemedicine programs hold the promise of bringing clinicians in touch with patients who would otherwise be unreachable due to physical distance from healthcare facilities. And as healthcare systems expand, the need to bridge distances has continued to increase. The need is especially acute in delivering specialty services. Penn Medicine faced these challenges and set out to provide a telehealth system that could deliver specialty care services at times that are convenient for patients. Their program reinforced the importance of creating an effective governance structure that could overcome regulatory compliance issues and ensure reimbursement.

The ability to tie together the “islands” of patient visits/interaction and related physiological monitoring information for a comprehensive and integrated view of patient information across the continuum of care is dependent on IT. Learn how Northwell Health is approaching the application of technology to better support patient care. 

Patient engagement is key to the success of value based care models. The ability to leverage health IT to promote wellness, patient engagement and satisfaction provides a means to lowering cost and improving patient outcomes. Learn the strategic approach to patient engagement and satisfaction through a dedicated workflow transformation team, patient family engagement councils, and telemedicine.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Explore the various tools VCU Health is leveraging to increase access to care and improve patient experience Discover how VCU Connected Health will utilize virtual follow-up visits, telemonitoring and expand its specialty expertise via Project ECHO  Understand the value of capturing and integrating the patient and family voice into care processes

Hospitals around the globe are investing in mobile computers and it’s redefining the way healthcare is delivered. Zebra commissioned three global research studies focused on nurse managers, IT executives and recently hospitalized patients to better understand the role of technology in acute care hospitals. The Future of Healthcare 2022 Hospital Vision Study report summarizes the key results of this analysis.

Healthcare digital transformation is redefining every aspect of how we care for ourselves in sickness and in health and is creating new, richer patient experiences.  If healthcare stakeholders are willing to invest in building cultures of wellness that include mechanisms to measure effectiveness, enable population health, and leverage analytics to increase patient engagement, it could pay dividends in better health and improved economic sustainability. The key to being successful in this redefined world is for healthcare organizations to embrace technologies that empower clinicians and patients to access health information when and where it matters most.  For those who can see past current cost structures and clinical pressures to a world of radically connected digital solutions, the future of healthcare has never looked brighter.  Join IDC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise as we share best practices, strategies and successes that your organizations can implement today and in the future.   During this webinar, you will: Discover how healthcare organizations and their stakeholders can create a more simplified, hybrid infrastructure that is efficient, flexible and scalable to enable a powerful patient-centric healthcare system. Identify best practices on how your organization can utilize technology in taking medicine beyond traditional clinical settings and creating a new continuum of care.  Detect how to build an IT strategy that simultaneously satisfies the need for patient safety, improved efficiencies and cost effectiveness with the ultimate goal of improving health outcomes
