'Meaningful Use' of the Nationwide Health Information Network: Lessons Learned from SSA and the States

February 11, 2010
11:00 Eastern / 10:00 Central / 9:00 Mountain / 8:00 Pacific

The Social Security Administration (SSA) was the first federal agency to use the NHIN as a tool to gain rapid access to electronic health information. In its partnership with MedVirgina, the Richmond-based regional Health Information Exchange (HIE), the partners used NHIN technologies to speed the delivery of clinical health records of patients awaiting medical disability decisions. In accelerating the process from weeks to days, the project often dramatically improved the quality of life of individual patients as well as eliminated costs and overhead associated with manual record-keeping.

In this e-seminar hosted by Government Health IT magazine, James C. Borland, special advisor to the SSA for health IT, and Jean McGraw, chief operating officer of MedVirginia will assess their experience setting up this pioneering NHIN application as they look ahead to the era of rapid adoption and meaningful use of health IT among individual practices and hospitals.

Among the topics that will be addressed are: Key lessons from the SSA-MedVirginia partnership most relevant to agencies, other HIE’s and individual providers facing a new era of health IT; how federal agencies and state-based health organizations can best use NHIN-based tools and services to foster information exchange with satellite and partner organizations; what meaningful use requirements will be most significant to the expansion of a broader health information Internet.

Mitigate Communication Breakdowns in VA Healthcare Facilities to Improve Patient Flow for a Better Patient Experience

August 31, 2010
12:00 Noon Eastern / 11:00 AM Central / 10:00 AM Mountain / 9:00 AM Pacific

Communication breakdowns in hospitals are a major cause for sentinel events. Veterans Affairs hospitals, like most care facilities, primarily rely on multiple, inefficient tools for communications including pagers, overhead paging, and desk phones. With the deployment of an instant communications solution, healthcare workers have more time with patients, experience better patient flow, and create a better patient experience for veterans and their families. In this one-hour webinar you will learn how communications systems restore the human connection to healthcare with instant communication at the critical points of care.
