Ransomware attacks have increased across the industry with at least 16 healthcare organizations having been compromised this year. We have seen noteworthy institutions essentially crippled by ransomware with significant interruption to clinical practices and patient care greatly curtailed. Furthermore, the FBI has recently warned that Conti ransomware is targeting U.S. healthcare and first-responders, so the industry is on high alert. While ransomware actors have leveraged multiple threat vectors, email remains the primary point for most cybercriminal activity. Join our industry experts as they provide a deep dive analysis into ransomware threats in healthcare. Find out how a people-centric approach can better protect you and position you against future ransomware attacks. 

Learning Objectives:

Join
Cletis as he discusses innovative ways of using the RHIO during a Pandemic and
how Penn State Health used the RHIO and their Vaccine Management tool through
Salesforce to deliver vaccines to a large population.

Change Healthcare’s offerings in the provider and payer markets put us in a unique spot to enable collaboration across a variety of different use cases. The EHR data orchestrator is integrated into nearly all Epic, Cerner Millennium, and Meditech instances and a majority of the larger ambulatory EHRs, enabling access to clinical data and capabilities to present information into EHR. This offers a unique opportunity to establish a new level of interoperability to improve “clinancial” outcomes between payers and providers.

The goal of this session is to outline our current capabilities, assess your view on the importance of provider and payer collaboration use cases (ex. risk and quality), and discuss what other hard-to-obtain information would make the largest impact on supporting the care team.

We’d very much like to hear your insights when we look at a futuristic state in today’s discussion. Currently, the purchasing process for many health systems is a lengthy and cumbersome process requiring many stakeholder involvement, that is now wrought for disruption. Imagine a health IT purchasing and contracting process which is simple, seamless, and quick for you to purchase what you need to support your organizations’ health IT needs.



In this session, we’ll imagine a world with 100% self-service health IT purchasing – what would that look like for you? We’d like to learn about your experiences purchasing technology and software online – via a trusted ecommerce site, with digital contracting, and with little to no reviews/approvals/redlines needed. If you weren’t spending time dealing with the purchasing process, what would you be doing to strategically help your organization advance and deliver better outcomes?



We very much look forward to imagining a modernized approach to health IT purchasing which saves you time to do the things you want and need to do.

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”.

In this focus group, we will dig into what patient experience looks like to today’s leading healthcare CIOs. How does patient experience fit into overall IT initiatives and strategy?



Over the past year and change, the pandemic has caused a huge shift towards virtual health and a reinvigorated focus on our health and well-being. These dramatic changes have resulted in existing patients bringing new demands to their trusted healthcare organizations. Because of these changes, the role of the CIO has changed from more of a clinical focus towards more of a patient focus. As healthcare organizations are faced with new challenges from our current landscape — provider competition, employee burnout and staffing, and expanding the digital reach of healthcare – CIOs now have to adapt and evolve to make sure there is value creation for all stakeholders involved.



Let’s share and learn from each other as we explore the most important and evolving aspects of today’s role as a leading healthcare CIO.
