sponsored by: Microsoft

Presented by:
Pat Downing
Senior Director, Health Solutions Group
In emerging markets, where there is pressure to increase the amount of care available, technology can increase the efficiency of providers.

The First Step  click to read more
sponsored by: First Databank/Zynx Health

Presented by:
Mr. Chung Liaw Mr. Patrick Banks
Electronic health deployments in the last 10 years have provided valuable opportunities to observe the landscape of medical systems within hospitals and other institutions. The predominant architecture is for multiple specialist systems, supplied by independent vendors, to integrate using a common backbone operated by the enterprise. The lessons learned from recent electronic health deployments are that providing a common drug platform is the easiest and most effective means of improving medication safety. While clinical options can save lives, interoperability at the drug level realises immediate benefits even before the clinical benefits occur. This is the process of delivering medical reconciliation. So, how do you start? And what about SNO-MED?

How IT Can Help the Hospital Balance the Operational Costs and Quality of Care in Both Private and Public Hospitals  click to read more
sponsored by: SAP

Presented by:
Andrew David
Director, Healthcare, Asia Pacific Japan SAP
Conventional wisdom in hospitals is that profitability and quality of care are diametrically opposed. Any improvement in the quality of care usually increases the cost of delivering that care. With the aging population and an increasingly demanding patient base, hospitals face ever increasing costs. Improving Patient Care within Cost Effective Parameters is the critical issue that healthcare providers must surmount. Efficient management of patient care within cost targets will improve clinical outcomes while staying profitable. To do this, you need an integrated healthcare system that links operational systems to financials to patience care. Come explore how other hospitals around the world have successfully surmounted these challenges and have gone further to analyze their information using advanced business intelligence.
