Increase your visibility and reach a broad audience of health care professionals by offering a presentation at the 2015 Long-Term and Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) Health Information Technology (IT) Summit.
Friday, April 17 is the final deadline for Interoperability and Innovations Showcase applications. The summit, which is co-sponsored and co-organized by LeadingAge CAST, takes place June 21-23, 2015 in Baltimore, MD.
For more than 10 years, the LTPAC Health IT Summit has been the premiere health IT conference for individuals within the LTPAC field.
The 2-day conference convenes health IT leaders, key policymakers, leading LTPAC providers, federal and state grantees, and other professionals. Its goal is to advance policies and initiatives aligning with the national health care strategy.
Interoperability and Innovations Showcase
The summit will again feature an LTPAC Interoperability and Innovation Showcase, which CAST is leading. The showcase will highlight innovative approaches to interoperability, emerging standards-based interconnectivity solutions for home health devices, as well as, standards-based exchange of health information.
Interoperability scenarios could include innovative business models of health information exchange (HIE), those that demonstrate impacts of such exchange on health outcomes, quality of care and health care utilization and costs.
Examples of HIE between hospitals and LTPAC providers, and the impact of such exchange on hospital readmissions are of particular interest. Information shared may include health record summaries, health and wellness assessments and observations, medication and prescription information, discharge summaries, shared care plans, and telehealth activities.
The showcase encourages demonstrating information exchange between showcase participants.
The showcase aims to:
- Demonstrate and celebrate vendors’ and providers’ current interoperability capabilities (both standards and non-standards based) and their efforts to achieve standards-based interoperability.
- Highlight innovative approaches to interoperability and HIE and innovative business models.
- Demonstrate the positive impacts of HIE between providers on health outcomes, quality of care and healthcare utilization and costs.
- Ultimately, accelerate the adoption of standards-based interoperable solutions by care providers.
New in 2015: Use Cases
Participants in the LTPAC Interoperability and Innovation Showcase will be asked to provide detailed structured information about their demonstration use case, the development phase of their interoperability solution as well as the impacts providers experienced, if the solution was implemented or beta/pilot tested and evaluated in provider organizations.
These additions are intended to add value to the learning experience to conference attendees.
Showcase Dedicated Time
The LTPAC Interoperability and Innovation Showcase will take place, Monday, June 22, from noon-7 p.m. The showcase encourages demonstrating information exchange between showcase participants.
Limited Speaking Opportunities
Speaking opportunities on Tuesday, June 23, at the summit may be extended to a limited number of applicants during at the Interoperability Track during the breakout sessions.
The speaking invitation will be extended particularly to those with innovative approaches, innovative business models for heath information exchange or demonstrating significant impacts of HIE, including reduced hospital readmissions.
