Webinars
Ideal Health IT conducts and hosts web seminars that
provide industry-specific information that is relevant
to healthcare organizations. What is different about our
web seminars as compared to many you will find is that
we do not actively try to sell our services as part of
the webinar. We provide content that is of use and
interest to the healthcare organizations we serve. Many
of these webinars are run by Ideal Health IT staff, but
others are hosted by guest presenters. In all cases,
the content is topical where we believe there is
interest.
While we believe that this commitment to industry
education will create interest in our own offerings, we
bring this content to be of general purpose and interest
to the healthcare community.

Event Summary:
The healthcare delivery landscape is changing
dramatically as enterprise health information technology
is being deployed in hospitals and provider
organizations. ARRA programs for EHR adoption and
Meaningful Use are driving many of the initiatives.
Roles are changing dramatically across the organization.
Now more than ever, healthcare organizations need to
know that clinical users are not only ready for the
changes, but have the overall knowledge and competency
to perform these key roles.
What we are facing in the US is something that
healthcare organizations and healthcare trusts have been
facing for more than a decade in the United Kingdom. The
National Health Service in the UK has initiated programs
to help with this organizational challenge. Formal
competency programs related to not only functional job
descriptions but overall handling of sensitive clinical
information and associated workflows and processes is
now part of the organizational culture.
In this webinar, TBA from Ideal Training Services
Ltd. will presenting the state of
clinical informatics competency programs in the UK. We
believe this one hour Webinar will give you insight into
the challenges faced in the UK, how those challenges
were met, and how this will apply in the US over the
next several years.
Meaningful Use – Where do we start and how do we get
there?

Event Summary:
Meaningful Use is top of mind in every
organization. Significant funding is available to
your organization if you take part in this government
program. For many organizations, millions of dollars
could be available and will be lost if specific
timetables are not met. However, payment is not based on
acquiring and implementing an EHR system. It is squarely
based on Meaningful Use of the certified EHR software.
The reality is that to take advantage of these programs
you need to: select the right technology for your
organization; assure yourself that your technology provider
can meet current and future requirements; implement in a
manner such that the right clinical and operational
information can be gathered; integrate and interoperate with
healthcare organizations across the extended enterprise in a
standardized format; change your clinical practices to allow
for the ease of clinical information gathering without
impacting operational efficiency; and report the required
information at the required intervals to actually get paid.
All of this needs to be done while not affecting patient
safety, privacy or security.
This seems like a tall order and it is. Learn how
organizations are managing this process to not only take
advantage of the funding but are making dramatic
improvements in their own organizations. Leading healthcare
organizations are using ARRA funding as a catalyst to drive
clinical change.
Additional webinars will be announced soon.
