Conference Track at GIANT
Health Information Systems 4.0: New Business Models
|
|
|
Moving into 2020, hospitals and health systems continue to face many challenges implementing, maintaining and upgrading their Electronic Health Record. In most cases, health record systems operate in silos, are cumbersome to use and not accessible by patients.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital, the patient is becoming a medical consumer. A tsunami of data from Apps and wearables is pushing the need for portability and interoperability of the clinical records. Patients want to be more engaged & demand data protection
This fragmented scenario is calling for urgent answers from the market leaders and innovators.
Join us in this track to hear how tech leaders and innovators are tackling the main issues of Health Information Systems: Interoperability & Portability, Privacy & Safety, Usability & Better Outcomes. Examples will come from both patient-centric and clinician-centric approaches. Solutions will be provided by both market leaders and innovative start-ups.
