Of particular concern to the healthcare industry is the increasing number of cyber-attacks against their industry. The healthcare industry has become an increasingly attractive target for cyber criminals with stolen healthcare data being more valuable than credit card data on the ‘hacker underground’. With critical information now residing in the cloud and accessed by a growing number of devices and applications, web-based attacks have become increasingly pervasive. The same forces that enable new efficiencies open healthcare providers up to new vulnerabilities.

Join John Ellis as he sheds light on the growth of cyber attacks in the healthcare industry and the challenges in data protection, and the way to combat them.

Healthcare providers and policymakers have embraced health information technology (IT) as an essential component of high-quality healthcare because it has the potential to provide multiple benefits: support clinical decision making, enhance provider communication, provide clinicians with access to patient data, engage patients, and reduce errors. However, studies shows certain “unintended health IT consequences” that may occur when critical elements; such as culture, work flow, are not deeply considered or implemented successfully. Health IT system such EMR are intended to record large number of patient data, reports has indicated that health IT error has affected patients treatment causing harm and injury, and healthcare providers paying hefty sum of compensation due to such error. Therefore, having continuous program in understanding, designing, implementation are vital for healthcare systems.

In this session, latest developments of the following top 10 health-IT related safety and solutions will be discussed. We will also review international platforms and endeavors that are supporting safe implementation in such technological adoption.

Many health systems worldwide are shifting towards providing medical care as a team, cultivating a culture of sharing a common commitment to offer the highest quality, the safest and most cost effective care to patients.

This keynote exposes the basis of life changing innovation and describes the key challenges in healthcare today, and the work being done at UPMC to enable the translation of some of these ideas and ventures into commercial successes.

Enterprise Imaging in South-East Asia is still an evolving process and takes on unique challenges. VNA being an important component of the system, discussion of the VNA selection criteria and assessment of VNA capabilities are presented in this session. Big Data has also enabled the possibility of gaining valuable insights with these large volumes of data and thus their potential benefits in clinical and business practice are presented as well.

Dr. Adam Chee, FHIMSS, FACHI, FRSPH, Singapore
Big Data and the Way Forward: 
Dr. Woojin Kim, MD, USA
