KEY LEARNINGS

Main Conference Day One (23 August)

HIMSS AsiaPac16 main conference was held over 2 days to more than1,500 attendees. Convened under the theme Advancing Digital and Patient-Centered Care, the conference had four dedicated tracks. Day 1 tracks were Moving Closer to Your Patient and Creating SMART Hospitals. Day 2 tracks were Applying Better Data for Better Health and Transforming Care Models.

Day 1 began with a plenary session by Dr. Richard Milani, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at Ochsner Health System, where he emphasized the need to re-engineer current healthcare models to combat chronic disease. His presentation revealed that 62% of deaths in SEA are from chronic disease and mobile health apps can play a big role in improving patient’s health. A new delivery model suggested for chronic disease patients include frequent data points, social support, analytics engine, and specialized and integrated tools tailored for each patient including health apps, medication adjustment, diet planning and exercise regimes.

The attendees then moved into the track sessions.

Dr. Chong Yoke Sin, CEO, IHiS started this track off. Her presentation showcased the story of Singapore as a SMART Nation. Internet of Things is the #1 trend in healthcare, home as well as community, with wireless sensor-based systems gathering patient medical data available for analytics, removing the limitations of human-entered data and ultimately improving treatment. Big data and healthcare analytics will also play an ever-increasingly critical role in eliminating risks and providing operations and decision support. Dr. Chong also introduced a new P beyond the P4 of medicine (P4 includes Predictive, Participatory, Preventative and Personalised). Integrating the 5th P – Population Perspective – Dr. Chong emphasized the need for balance between individual and population interventions and how a good balance can best maximize health benefits, minimize harms and avoid unnecessary healthcare costs. Robotics and artificial intelligence is already in action in Singapore’s healthcare system: Automated Laboratory System using Robotics, Automated Outpatient Medication Delivery, Social Robots to help in rehabilitation and so on.

Dr. Jonathan Schaffer, MD, Cleveland Clinic, presented on web-based portals for oncology patients. The buzzword social media came up in his session as a critical tool that patients use to communicate with family and friends, get support and reduce feelings of isolation and associated stresses. Thus by developing appropriate digital applications, it is possible to reduce stressors that can influence the care of cancer patients, and in turn improving and enhancing their quality of life. As oncology shifts from acute to chronic care, removing geographic barriers to care through health information technologies become paramount.

Another highlight of this track was the session by Dr. Sean Frederick, Chief Medical Officer, Allscripts. He touched upon a topic close to every healthcare worker’s heart: moving back to the heart of healthcare and getting closer to the patient. His presentation poignantly pointed out that healthcare is behind the times in its use of technology. He cited examples of how the hospitality sector uses mobile campaigns to deliver targeted mobile ads to stranded travelers, how the food industry uses mobile apps and mobile marketing to attract customers, and how the retail industry uses guest ID programs and purchasing demographic data for personalized shopping experiences. With the rise of healthcare consumerism, there is a critical need to navigate the complex and heterogenous landscape of healthcare to leverage on technologies to improve patient and population health. Patient engagement can only happen with: The right information getting to the right stakeholder, in the right format, through the right channel and at the right time. 6 | Post Event Report

KEY LEARNINGS

Continuation of Key Learning Points for Day 1 (23 August)

The track started with a panel discussion examining the strategic framework to creating SMART hospitals moderated by John Daniels, Global Vice President, HIMSS Analytics.

Ms. Renea Collins, Clinical Director eHealth from Metro South Health in Australia spoke on the strategic partnerships that led to improved adoption and safety during the clinical transformation implemented for Princess (PAH). She shared that in one day in Metro South Health, 619 people are admitted to hospital, there are 748 emergency presentations, 3,110 outpatient appointments and 73 elective surgery procedures. There was a need to transform because of increasing expectations from clinicians and community, need for continuous improvement, changing practice model, service complexity and so on. This was the largest and most complex change PAH has ever done and the largest implementation of an EMR in a major public hospital in Australia. With the vendor-hospital alignment, the change delivered more functionality as well as more efficiently and effectively than ever seen in Australia. It was clinician-driven thus motivating uptake, and has improved patient safety tremendously.

Mr. Eric Woo from ECRI Institute Asia Pacific shared in his presentation the top 10 healthcare IT hazards and provided risks, evidence and solutions. Hazards included poor data integrity, poor usability, missing safeguards (leading factor in CDS events), mishandling of timed medication orders (duplicates and omissions) and truncation of information on display.

The last track speaker was Mr. Andy Tan, Principal Medical Informatics at JurongHealth Services, Singapore. He shared about pathways to improve care coordination. At Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH), there were 348 pathways used over the last 12 months, out of which 203 were hip fracture pathways and 145 were heart failure pathways. The hospital created savings using the pathways and the pathways also showed promise in reducing patient length of stay.

The closing keynote speaker for Day 1 was Mr. Scott MacLean. His presentation titled The Digital and Patient-Centered Care Journey in an Integrated Delivery System discussed the three phases of work for improving population health as follows: Phase 1 – Primary Care, Phase 2 – Secondary Care and Patient Engagement, Phase 3 – Wellness Promotion. He also shared about the exciting initiatives from Partners Healthcare that were aligned to the conference tracks. An example is the Partners Patient Gateway with nearly 600,000 users that allows for greater convenience for the patient. Another example is the development of virtual clinician visits. All the initiatives have resulted in 15,000 virtual visits, 12,000 shared decision making aids provided to patients, 421 avoided hospitalizations and above national 90th percentiles on adult outcome measures, cancer screening and well child measures for commercially insured patients across the entire Partners Healthcare Group.

KEY LEARNINGS

Main Conference Day Two (24 August)

The second day of the main conference began with Dr. William Hersh, Professor and Chair, Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology, Oregon Health & Science University’s presentation. Dr. Hersh talked about how advancing digital and patient-centered care requires competent clinicians and informatics professionals. He said that there is a growing cadre of clinicians who need to become leaders in clinical informatics and advance the path forward. He highlighted that in order to achieve and demonstrate competence, education and training is necessary for informaticians, clinicians, and even patients and consumers. He introduced the audience to the 10x10 program. This course provided an entry point for those who wished to further their studies or develop their careers in the biomedical and health informatics field. The course was so called because when launched in 2005, the aim was to educate 10,000 healthcare and related professionals in biomedical and health informatics by 2010.

The attendees then moved into the track sessions.

Mr. John Daniels, Global Vice President, Healthcare Advisory Services Group, HIMSS Analytics, USA began the Data track by sharing about the formula to successful data analytics. He gave a detailed explanation of the analytics maturity curve, from descriptive (standard reports, ad hoc reports, query/ drill down) to predictive (alerts, statistical analysis) and finally prescriptive (randomized testing, predictive modeling/forecasting, optimization). He also introduced the audience to the HIMSS Adoption Model for Analytics Maturity (AMAM) – an 8-stage model that moves from fragmented point solutions at Stage 0 to personalized medicine and prescriptive analytics at Stage 7. Key features of the AMAM are that it is healthcare-specific, vendor-neutral, capability-oriented (not technology-oriented) and prescriptive. Benefits include being a roadmap for progression and an analytics strategy initiator.

Another highlight of this track was Mr. Bret Watson’s (Enterprise Architect, The Health Architects, Australia) presentation, focused on public-private ICT interoperability. He shared that due to the dispersed population and need to support all patients and multiple treatment pathways, Western Australia Health (WA Health) consumes a large proportion of the State’s operating budget. Thus, there is a strong drive to reduce the price per treatment and one avenue to do so is to create public private partnerships (PPPs) with private hospital operators operating various hospitals, particularly in the metropolitan area. With the principle that ICT interoperability is IT-facilitated clinician communication, the WA Health set out to integrate ICT across both public and private domains.

Dr. Dinesh Jain, Vice President – Clinical Data Analytics from Max Healthcare Institute, India, presented on the Experience with Analyzing Health Data for Patient Care and Safety – Linking Risk with Action for Better Patient Outcome. Dr. Jain explained that while healthcare has data, it needs solutions. The challenge is turning data into intelligence. Solutions include analytic tools, comprehensive data warehousing and data marts, as well as clinical decision support systems. As we step into the era of personalized medicine, having molecular information at the point of care will help clinicians personalize the individual’s treatment possibly using evidence-based clinical protocols, CDSS and alerts. However, current EHRs do not support genomic integration in a meaningful way. Perhaps transformation is just around the corner in the near future.

Mr. Jürgen Brandstätter, co-chair of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Europe then shared about how to achieve successful interoperability within and across healthcare organizations. A non-profit association dedicated to interoperability in health information technology and the inventor of the Connectathon, IHE uses existing standards to profile interoperability use-cases. He shared about the Austrian National Health Record Project (ELGA) to make clinical documentation available, medication data available, enable the authentification of health service provider and patient, and enable the access to demographic data of patients amongst other objectives. IHE supported Austria’s efforts by supporting the paradigm change needed, being a stable guidance during the turbulences of getting ELGA on track by profiling, best practice and so on, cutting costs, and being a solid basis for future road-mapping through the exchange of data with surrounding European countries.

IHE will be holding their World Summit at HIMSS AsiaPac17! Stay tuned. 8 | Post Event Report

KEY LEARNINGS

Continuation of Key Learning Points for Day 2 (24 August)

In the adjacent track, Mr. Peter Morgan, Senior Consultant, Singapore and SEA Branch, Gevity Consulting, spoke out on the increasingly crucial role of information systems amidst public health crises. Major disease outbreaks present a serious risk to all countries. The economic and political impact of communicable disease is significant. He cited examples such as the flu pandemic (cost of $800B USD) and East Asia SARS epidemic (cost of $1.8B USD). The Korea MERS-CoV infection in 2015 resulted in 2 deaths, 25 cases and over 1,300 people in quarantine. Some failings of the public health system showed through: multiple public health systems do not easily exchange information, many different organizations are responsible for public health and many processes for managing outbreaks are done manually. These are not ideal for effective management, control and prevention. There is no one size fits all solution though. Different countries have unique needs, practices, priorities and culture. Recognizing the autonomy of vulnerable populations, integration and solid architecture for multiple related systems, engaging clinical resources and investing materially in capacity development to support sustainability are ways we can start becoming resilient.

Dr. Stephen Chu, co-chair, HL7 Patient Care Workgroup and Principal Clinical Informacist then discussed about transforming care through collaborative care management, using standard care plan model and care coordination services. Currently, chronic condition management is facing multiple challenges resulting in poor outcomes. These include poor coordination of care due to its complexity, poor patient engagement and low technology maturity leading to lack of support. The solution is to have a patient-centered care plan design that supports both dynamic care planning and collaborative care management, as well as is accessible by all care team members (collaborative care community). He introduced the HL7 care plan design which supports linkage, and includes the patient, family and carers into the care team mix. As for whether healthcare and ICT are there yet, he admits that both industries are still at the start of designing practical collaborative care model and dynamic collaborative care management engines. Thus, a pragmatic, incremental approach is required, meaning to start with a static care plan for longitudinal patient journey to improve information sharing and care collaboration.

In Thailand, many ICT projects are gaining traction. Ms. Paranee Phongnopakoon, clinical nurse specialist at Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital, shared about the efficacy of her organization’s chemotherapy education program in a new computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in solid cancer patients. The study showed that factors affecting the symptoms of self-management of chemotherapy included race, education level and source of knowledge and was done on solid cancer patients who received initial chemotherapy and completed three cycles. With an average satisfaction score of 4.2 / 5.0 for all aspects of the CAI, the study showed that Wattanosoth could use CAI to educate patients and decreases the work load of oncology nurses. This presentation showed that simple innovative tools can transform care delivery and improve outcomes in big ways.

The closing keynote speaker for Day 2 was Dr. Paul Chang, Vice President, Accreditation, Standards and Measurement, Joint Commission International. His presentation titled Role of Technology in Transforming Hospitals Towards High Reliability Organizations first talked about characteristics of high reliability organizations including a pre-occupation with failure, reluctance to simplify, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience and deference to expertise. Bringing up the poignant reality that there is a culture of low expectations in healthcare, Dr. Chang then shared about the JCI’s framework for high reliability to transform this culture. Although there is much that needs to be done to achieve zero harm in healthcare, technology can most certainly play a role in helping to reduce human error and mitigate failures. In fact, many healthcare organizations are beginning to implement a framework as they seek high reliability. Perhaps a key takeaway for attendees at this session was the quote it ended off with: A well-designed organization is not a stable solution to achieve, but a developmental process to keep active. And with that food for thought, HIMSS AsiaPac16’s main conference came to a fitting end. Post Event Report | 9
