Becoming a Connected Health System

Tim Smith, Principal, Kelly Patrick, Senior Manager, Nick Wong, Senior Manager and Alan Vitale, Specialist Master, Health Information Technology Solutions (HITS), Deloitte Consulting, LLP. The changing landscape in our healthcare industry requires health systems to be “connected,” both internally and externally, to achieve business value, address regulatory needs, engage patients in their health, and to evolve in the ways needed for survival and to flourish in this changing environment.  The need for discrete data integration and interoperability with core EHR capabilities across multiple vendors, applications and technologies is clear.  Today, leaders in healthcare as well as other industries are already solving many of these interoperability challenges using readily available tools, techniques and architectures.  Join us to discuss emerging needs, technologies, challenges and solutions to being a connected health system.
