SickKids is one of the busiest healthcare providers in North America, employing 10K+ staff, admitting 300K+ outpatients, and caring for 12K+ operating room cases a year.  With the large transformation program implementing EPIC, their legacy system that leverage manual user provisioning processes were no longer sustainable.  SickKids engaged KeyData to implement new processes and new IAM and PAM solutions that help SickKids reduce manual processes of on/off boarding.  The implementation required complex data management, data clean-up, consolidation of identity data from various repositories, and integration with several core systems, including EPIC and a Learning Management System. This session will describe the various challenges, lessons learned, and SickKids recommended recipe for success!

Geisinger Health strategies to utilize data for evidence based change. A collaboration between the Provider and Patient through digital integration.

Most healthcare organizations have recently embarked upon the implementation of their EHR systems.  In many cases, these organizations are now finding the need to connect to and use data from other areas, such as their clinical applications, ERP and back office and external applications to facilitate areas such as case costing, connected care, precision medicine and the clinically integrated supply chain.   Oracle is helping customers leverage technology innovations in Healthcare to help organizations take their investment in data analytics to the next level.  Come and hear about real world examples, such as our interoperability project in Australia.

In 2018, the Hospital for Sick Children went live with an enterprise wide health information system, Epic. We will share lessons about how Epic was successfully implemented in partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and how Epic will support the vision for integrated pediatric care and precision child health.

This session will examine foundational work that is occurring in Canada to facilitate the uptake of clinical data standards within EHRs.  Presenters will focus on the opportunities to transform the delivery of healthcare through the use of clinical data standards within the healthcare system.

From diagnosing rare diseases using genomic data, to making surgery safer, or personalizing medical treatments, researchers transform medicine and healthcare delivery using data and advanced computational methods such as machine learning, natural language processing, high performance computing and medical ontology. The future of AI powered precision medicine is happening here and now in many world class Ontario hospitals, universities and research institutes. This session with focus on new frontiers in precision medicine and AI, showcases select efforts that are bringing innovation into medical practice.

As Canada looks for ways to reduce the burden on its healthcare system, better understanding patient populations can help to anticipate the need for acute care utilization and reduce costs. But what is the best way to identify, predict and manage at- risk patient with chronic conditions? This session will explore how attendees can use AI technologies to develop predictive, population healthcare models to target and treat patients before they get sick – and keep them out of the hospital.

This session will speak to and address these areas:

• - Enabling clinicians and care providers to design their own applications and business rules

• - Identifying clinical risk factors for patients and provide recommendations, in business and clinical friendly terms, at the point of care

• - Reuse and exchange decision models across systems and organizations

- Leverage for population health including patient identification, stratification and outreach

Look around you and one thing is clear: our population is aging. If 60 is the new 40, that means today’s patients – and their clinicians – must take a more proactive and holistic approach to healthcare. More than a series of independent encounters, today the focus is shifting to the complete continuum of care.

Learn how new cloud-based technologies are helping caregivers collaboratively record, follow and lead patients, leveraging systems able to effectively secure and share essential information – across care environments and providers, across geographies and across time.

Discover how AI, wearables and telemedicine will improve and streamline care delivery, driven by consumer demand for easier access to services and data-based prevention strategies.

Explore the modern mentality of cradle to grave care and how your organization can accelerate its journey.

The presentation will share real world and live examples of how Ontario is improving Access to Care across the care continuum. From the hugely successful use of virtual care for primary care in the GTA, to central intake for mental health in Mississauga Halton, and to surgical wait list management and eBooking in northern Ontario and beyond, Ontario has made great strides by leveraging home grown technology. These technologies and successes are foundational enabling technologies to support Ontario Health, Ontario Health Teams (OHTs), hospitals, clinicians, and most importantly – patients.

The right outcome, for the right patient, delivered at precisely the right point of care. Cost, quality and access are major challenges within healthcare organizations. At GE Healthcare, we develop AI solutions that address both clinical and operational challenges that will result in better outcomes for providers and patients.  This session will delve into how AI and deep learning technologies will be used to improve patient experience and prioritize point of care solutions.

The healthcare industry continues to struggle with how to address medical device security in their environments. Acknowledging that these devices potentially leverage cloud-based processing and storage, as well as potentially have local storage; this data, and the connected medical devices that create it, are changing how healthcare organizations are run and how clinicians assess, diagnose, treat, and interact with their patients. However, any networked device that can receive, collect, store or transmit data also has the potential to be compromised.

• What are some methods that you can identify / quantify the magnitude of devices in your environment?
• How do healthcare organizations balance the value and risk of Medical IoT?
• How can healthcare organizations effectively manage and protect all these devices?

Securely managing Medical IoT requires automated visibility and unified policies for sensors and devices and the data they generate; advanced detection enhanced with real-time threat intelligence; and centralized control that can automatically coordinate response. In this think tank, we’ll explore how and why cybercriminals target IoMT devices, and how these threats can be mitigated.

Modern HIS solutions, combined with the dramatic increase in mobile and bio-med devices, requires more reliable and secure networks than ever.

Learn how HPE Aruba & Compugen are helping healthcare providers ensure that their wired and wireless connectivity is always on and easy to use, whilst maintaining the highest level of security. We'll also look at ways to dynamically measure and improve user experience, as well as using AI to detect, identify and segment network-connected devices.

You'll see how adopting HPE Aruba technology also enables providers to advance through the 8 stages of HIMSS Analytics's Infrastructure Adoption Model (INFRAM)
