    The cloud movement in healthcare has accelerated. Research shows that most Epic users have either moved or are considering moving to the cloud. At the same time, it is no secret that healthcare organizations are increasingly becoming the target of cyberattacks, especially Ransomware.
    This focus group will
    • Explore the gaps and challenges in achieving the desired security, compliance, and operational continuity while operating Epic EHR in the cloud, especially from the organizational, budget, tooling, automation, and staffing perspective.
    • Exchange cybersecurity ideas, tools, and best practices for running Epic in the cloud at the infrastructure, platform, and application level.
    • Evaluate professional and managed services as an alternative to in-house security management, their benefits and shortcomings
    • Brainstorm a managed service design, desired features, and capabilities that can help streamline existing security operations while closing the gaps and addressing the cybersecurity challenges.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation for health systems. Telehealth and virtual care models have gone mainstream, along with remote care. Improving digital engagement with consumers in their care journey has become a high priority for healthcare executives. Health systems need a new roadmap for the future that addresses immediate as well as long term needs in the wake of the pandemic. In this focus group, we will discuss the current state of digital transformation, how COVID-19 has impacted the pace of transformation and what health systems across the country are focusing on for the coming year.

    Through this session TRIMEDX would like to gain a more thorough understanding of health system pain points related to the safety and security of connected medical devices. Participants will discuss:
    1. How they are approaching, from an organizational perspective, the cybersecurity of their medical devices. What mix of technology, people and consultants are they using to solve this problem and who holds ownership for this solution?
    2. What are their challenges in implementing a solution?
    3. What gaps they are experiencing to ensure the safety of their medical devices?
    4. What is their current process for vulnerability detection and remediation and how do they track these efforts?
    5. How are they currently leveraging data to support their cybersecurity strategy?
    6. How are they measuring success of this strategy – do they evaluate return on risk avoidance model, health system reputation, etc.?
    7. What steps have they taken to get organizational support for this strategy?

    Medical image storage and retention is expensive, arduous and time consuming for your IT team. By moving to a hybrid model in which active images are stored locally while inactive images are stored in a third-party cloud, your healthcare organization can reduce expenditures, gain agility and offload historical image data migration and management to a third-party service provider, freeing up time for innovation.

    This focus group, led by Dr. Tim Calahan, Field CTO, Virtustream Healthcare Cloud, will discuss the potential of cloud-based medical imaging and explore common healthcare imaging challenges your organization may be facing around on-premises management costs, having disparate PACS across departments, and more. As an extension of the cloud migration, storage and maintenance discussion, we will also evaluate the benefits of having images link between inpatient and outpatient facilities, and other features and capabilities you would look for in a medical imaging cloud solution.

    The promise of technology applied to healthcare was first to digitize paper records, second to optimize workflow for clinicians, and third to learn from the data to improve the industry. Healthcare is very close to realizing the first goal of fully digitizing medical records, and we continue to progress on optimizing workflows for clinicians. The third goal of learning from the data is just beginning. Using data to create new software diagnostics and therapeutics for clinicians in order to impact patient outcomes is one of the exciting future possibilities that this session will explore.

    Providers and frontline care teams increasingly expect health systems to empower them to do more with their mobile devices and mobile-first experiences. Communication functionality gaps in EHR systems have led health systems to adopt siloed voice and messaging point solutions. Unfortunately, solutions that aren’t integrated with the rest of a health system’s clinical ecosystem cause workflow fragmentation that impedes efficiency and effectiveness. Health systems are tasked with consolidating and standardizing around core EHR offerings while seeking complementary platforms that complete the care team communication experience.

    Taking into account lessons learned in the global pandemic, this session seeks to explore the strategy, process, and key considerations when designing and implementation.

    Learning Objectives:

    • -Define strategic considerations for designing and deploying a cloud-based mobile communications platform 
    • -How to approach provider and care team engagement planning 
    • -How to align your technology infrastructure to achieve desired outcomes

    The intent of this focus group is to discuss the role of intelligent automation in the current healthcare provider industry. We would like to facilitate a discussion around how & when health systems are evaluating and executing automation within their current systems and whether they are building home-grown solutions or leveraging partnerships and why. This will allow the audience to understand the strategic approach the leading senior IT executives are taking when evaluating capabilities of their current systems & how to drive benefit to reduce overall costs.

    Healthcare organizations are under intense pressure to reduce costs, and IT operations is at the center of that storm. Organizations report that data-hosting costs account for over 26% of their IT operations budget and that they are looking to reduce those costs by 35% across the next 5 years. Achieving that goal will require organizations to look toward the cloud; however, progressive organizations are recognizing that full cloud migration may not be realistic and operating in a hybrid cloud environment is the more likely reality.
    In this focus group session, Leidos will explore how IT leaders are exploring hybrid cloud efforts, including what infrastructure services are required, what application types are most desirable to migrate, and what ongoing services will be required to “make cloud easy”.
