The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Upcoming Health IT events 2015

  • Hospitals and health systems are under significant pressure to increase quality, decrease costs, and improve patient-reported outcomes. Increasingly, hospital leaders are turning to health information technology to deliver these results. Chief information officers and senior information technology staff must prepare for current and future health care challenges to proactively lead their organization’s health IT function.
    To address the increasing and evolving demands hospitals place on senior health information technology professionals, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health developed Leadership Strategies for Information Technology in Health Care. This executive program will help providers implement, adopt and meaningfully use health information technology to improve health care quality, safety, and cost-efficiency.
    This course covers the full range of topics senior leaders in health IT need to be aware of, including strategy and governance, implementation of electronic health records, clinical informatics, and the interplay between clinical professionals and health information technology. In this executive-level program, you will:
    • Improve your ability to increase quality, decrease costs, and advance patient safety through health information technology;
    • Enhance your health IT leadership skills, focusing on strategies and tactics to effect positive change;
    • Engage with expert faculty and industry executives, gaining practical skills and learning best practices; and
    • Develop your organization’s health IT strategic vision, proactively addressing challenges posed by the changing health care landscape.

    Who Should Participate

    Leadership Strategies for Information Technology in Health Care is ideal for executives and senior leaders in health care organizations who have functional responsibility for information technology. The program is also highly recommended for non-IT clinical and administrative leaders who need to collaborate more effectively with those in the information technology function, as well as for IT professionals transitioning into health care. Typical participant titles include, but are not limited to:
    • Chief executive officer
    • Chief information officer
    • Chief medical informatics officer
    • Chief medical officer

  • Overview

    Providers and payers are under enormous pressure to reduce costs and improve the quality of healthcare. Employers, consumers, government purchasers and health exchanges are all turning up the heat on the provision and payment of care.
    The National Healthcare Innovation Summit brings together a select group of top-level stakeholders from the healthcare sector and other industries – who are on the ground testing and implementing real-world innovations – to explore adopted and scalable strategies, products and services with demonstrated outcomes to support the Triple Aim and fast-track the transformation of healthcare.

  • Join AHIMA and several industry experts for a one-of-a-kind meeting exploring the many connections surrounding healthcare data, and how classification and terminologies (including ICD-10) provide more specificity to that data. More than $2.6 trillion is spent on US healthcare today; a total of 75 percent of those dollars are spent treating chronic conditions; and half of that is spent on just 5 percent of the population.
    Does this data sound familiar to you? Have you ever wondered about the data connections made throughout the healthcare industry—not just those happening in your own organization? Whether it is terminologies found in the billing system or the data analysis needed for strategic planning, today’s providers must understand where and how data affects their organization—internally and externally. Since its founding in 1928, AHIMA has been an industry leader in the effective management of health data and this summit brings all aspects of coded data together in an exciting, industry-leading program.
    Data can be found across the healthcare industry. This includes the electronic health record (EHR), quality reports, third party payers, public health systems, and more. The 2015 AHIMA Data Summit is a must-attend industry event dedicated to exploring all of healthcare data’s connections.
