| Innovations In Technologies Designed to Impact Procedural Medicine: Making Sound Choices to Improve Clinical Efficiencies and Process Flow |
| Show Details |
| The Operating Room of the Future |
Traditional Operating Rooms are inefficient and overcrowded. Patient data are not integrated and displayed to caregivers in a timely fashion, and turnover time between cases is lengthy.
Technologies designed to impact procedural medicine are often introduced in isolation, usually failing to improve efficiency and safety, or reduce costs. Devices are often haphazardly introduced into a technologically complex environment. Integrating high technology components, however, is not sufficient to achieve the goal of better patient care; teamwork and communication in a high tech environment is equally essential.
To address many of these problems, CIMIT (Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology) pioneered the MGH “Operating Room of the Future” (ORF) project. Launched in the Massachusetts General Hospital in August of 2002, as a fully functional OR for minimally invasive procedures as well as for open surgery. Advanced by critical partnerships, a number of pioneering programs are currently being explored in the ORF:
- Real-time workflow process improvement including parallel processing, novel IT architecture, asset management and patient tracking solutions
- Clinical decision support systems combining patient-specific data with intelligent devices to create a perioperative zone of safety
- Leading a national initiative on technology integration and open Plug-and-Play standards for medical devices
- Measuring outcomes to inform “evidence-based” OR facility design.

As national focus on clinical systems deployment is now at all time high; one thing that continually seems to be forgotten is the layer infrastructure and institutional policy enforcement that is required for safe and effective rollout of such systems. There needs to be a focus on common principles around health information security and confidentiality; ability to authenticate and manage wide variety of clinical users having role-based access to multiple applications/systems, and formation of organization-wide policies around IT systems roll out. Ability to link providers, patients and various health care institutions together through exchange of pertinent information is highly dependant on rigorous and shared IT architecture standards.

With the increasing aging demographic, the number of chronically ill seeking treatment is increasing at a rapid rate. Over the next decade, the US healthcare system will face an impending crisis, as a fixed number of doctors and nurses confront an unexpected explosion in chronic diseases. The shift to a more consumer driven healthcare market is impacting consumer expectations regarding the quality and consistency of the care they seek. Moreover, patients facing a potentially life threatening disease, such as breast cancer, are seeking the rapid response analysis of lab test and imaging results to better plan and implement treatment options.
In Tucson, Arizona diagnosis that would typically takes weeks is now possible within hours
New business models being implemented and referred to as “second generation minute clinics” or “Ultra Clinics’ in state Arizona UPH Kino Campus and at the Tucson Breast Center (The world’s first implemented UltraClinic Model) offer faster, better and more economical healthcare by taking advantage of the expertise of virtual healthcare teams, information technology, medical imaging visualization techniques and virtual pathology equipment — improve the quality of healthcare and reduce costs to an organization.
In order to meet both consumer expectations -- as well as the address the realities of our currently overloaded healthcare system -- healthcare professionals need to re-evaluate their business models to incorporate remote and pervasive healthcare options in order to remain competitive in a changing marketplace.

Emerging Consumer Health Technologies: Killer Apps in the Transformation of Health Care Delivery?
|
This panel will examine the impact of consumerism, and the adoption of new communication technologies, in driving health system change in our highly regulated health care industry. How will health system transformation and innovation be affected by emerging consumer health technologies such as remote patient monitoring, medication reminders, e-visits, and similar technology-enabled products and services? Can consumer health technologies provide the tools necessary to survive the coming perfect storm of chronic illness, clinical workforce shortages, and resource constraints? Can they help deliver improved quality of care and better outcomes?
We will address the business, policy, and legal issues raised by the adoption of remote health services, including:
- What is the potential of self-care, remote diagnostics and remote care?
- What are the changing roles of providers, consumers, and other caregivers?
- What are the viable business models for such services?
- Who will pay for these services? Are Medicare and other third party payers likely to reimburse consumer health technologies? How can incentives be structured under pay-for-performance and employee health benefit plans?
- Do current licensure and regulatory frameworks present real obstacles to growth of this segment?
- How can clinicians, telecommunications vendors, and medical device companies manage the risks of liability?
- What are the other obstacles to adoption? How can they be overcome?
The panel will identify the challenges and opportunities ahead, and provide practical insights into how various stakeholders can successfully harness the power of consumer health technologies to transform health care delivery as we know it today.

Information technology (IT) is an important element in maximizing the role genetic, genomic and proteomic technologies play in personalized medicine. IT can reduce the costs and improve the quality and efficiency of research and clinical operations. IT can also ensure that the clinical test results are fully integrated into electronic medical record (EMR) systems where they can be targeted by clinical decision support algorithms. Finally, IT plays a critical role in ensuring data integrity in complex modern information flows.

| Case Study: Information Lifecycle Management at the Erasmus Medical Centre. Collaboratively managing digital data for care, research, education and the international development of the Globe 3D Genome Viewer. |
The Rotterdam-based Erasmus University Medical Centre (Erasmus MC) is the Netherlands' largest university medical centre with more than 1,200 patient beds and 10,000 employees. As a result of its increased dependence on the availability of electronic data formats Erasmus MC recently witnessed a steep increase in data volumes and subsequent preservation and archiving challenges for its care, research and education processes. The combination of unusually long archiving lifecycles, the complexity and continuous development of healthcare imaging and other data propose a particularly interesting availability challenge. Erasmus MC is working on a collaborative effort between Clinical, Research, Education and IT departments to institute a preservation and archiving system plan that provides flexibility, facilitates business continuity, and withstands the test of time.
This need for collaboration is in particular crossing the institutional border in the bio-informatics sector, where alliances between international hospital partners and vendors are needed. As a major initiative for such a new development Erasmus MC will demonstrate the Globe 3D Genome Viewer. It is a novel system-biology oriented genome browser necessary to access, present, annotate, and to simulate the holistic genome complexity in a unique gateway towards a real understanding, educative presentation and curative manipulation planning. Erasmus MC likes to call for collaboration on the development of this viewer for visualizing the vast landscape of the genome and for navigating through complex biological networks.
