Data Liquidity in the Era of COVID-19
The liquidity of patient data – that is, its ability to be exported to other systems as needed, then aggregated and analyzed – has grown exponentially in strategic importance. Without a complete, easily modeled picture of the patient population and their care history, senior executives, medical professionals, and Digital Health Innovators find themselves limited in their ability to analyze different possible reimbursement strategies, create appropriate treatment strategies, and access complete reporting stacks for patient care improvement and research. The current pandemic has driven a change in how we think about the ability and needs for shared data across clinical entities.
Join us for a discussion around the related challenges, including data management on cloud and on-premise environments, ensuring the veracity of parties involved in data exchange, and semantic interoperability the will become front and center in the pursuit of data liquidity.

Caring for Patients During and Post Pandemic
Providers have had to remain agile and creative in their delivery of patient care over the past year. They have had to make sense of unique patient experiences that would traditionally be in-person, and have explored options such as remote patient monitoring, video visits and other innovations that have been utilized to support the patient / provider experience.
As regulations and reimbursement guidelines come out for RPM along with other outcomes of the pandemic, please join us for this timely discussion of how providers have navigated their transforming landscape. We have gathered a diverse group of Clinical Leaders to discuss their experiences, lessons learned, what has worked vs. what has been disbanded and how they envision the future of healthcare delivery for our region.

Best Practice Virtual Operations – Strategies & Lessons Learned
For leaders in Healthcare IT, IS and Human Resources, there has been a marked industry shift that has required leaders to scrutinize and optimize their remote-work practices. Across the board organizations have had to evaluate what technologies to deploy for remote team engagement, how we now manage “productivity”, security implications of remote-work, how-to cultivate camaraderie amongst a remote team and more.
According to the 2021 Work Trend Index, 73 percent of workers surveyed want flexible remote work options to continue while at the same time, 67 percent are craving more in-person time with their teams. We’ve gathered some of the top IT leaders for a reflective discussion on the learned experience of managing a remote workforce where we’ll review tools, best practices, strategies and lessons-learned as we navigate the future of HIT.

Security Amongst the Crisis
The COVID pandemic forced healthcare organizations to pivot quickly – rapidly expanding the remote workforce, moving to virtual delivery of services where possible, hastily standing up testing and vaccination centers, and urgently onboarding new vendors and systems to manage the crisis. While sensitive data pushed even further outside a securable perimeter, attacks on healthcare increased, with COVID providing novel content for attackers. Healthcare Information Security leaders discuss their responses to COVID-related security demands, challenges experienced, and successes in assuring the security of healthcare data in one of healthcare’s most challenging years, and share thoughts on securing healthcare operations into the near future.
