Embracing the inevitability of the Cloud for Healthcare Organizations

In this interview style presentation, Karl Strohmeyer, North America Group Vice President and Maggie Chan Jones, Senior Vice President of North America Marketing will discuss the increasingly important role of the network in today’s distributed data center and cloud environments and how an organization’s network infrastructure can impact end to end application performance. Healthcare organizations are facing exponential data and application growth and increasingly complex access requirements driven in part by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Healthcare IT staffs are responsible for delivering mission-critical applications to all end users and in a fast, secure, scalable and cost efficient manner. IT teams need to configure their networks and communications strategies to deliver optimal performance for each application and cloud solutions for PACS management, EHRs, mHealth and many other critical tools are becoming the most logical answer. With the ever-changing regulatory environment, rapid technology advancements, and mounting cost pressures investing in a secure, scalable and agile communications infrastructure has never been more important.

Accessing Impact Through Applied School-Based TeleHealth

mjjansen5 — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:12:31 +0000

Rural areas of the United States have historically gone unserved or underserved in terms of healthcare. School based telehealth care is a relatively new modality for delivering care to the most vulnerable members of our communities: children. Rural areas have many barriers to overcome in terms of healthcare, with one of the barriers being lack of primary care providers and specialty care providers. In Georgia, over the past 15 year, initializing school based health centers has been difficult. With the introduction of telemedicine as a part of the school based health clinic, Georgia has moved from two clinics to 16 in 3 years and will be in over 41 schools by the end of 2013. These clinics are utilizing telemedicine as a way to provide care. This panel will teach you the steps in conceptualizing and implementing a school based telehealth center in your school system. You will walk away with a road map that can be cultivated to your community's needs.
