16.00 - 18.00	Intel Workshop - Connecting the Inpatient and Outpatient Landscape Mark Blatt, MD, Worldwide Medical Director, Intel Corporation,USA Dalia Idar, MSc, MHA heads the Clinical Computerization Department in the Division of Health Information Technology at Maccabi Healthcare Services, Israel Healthcare Services are very expensive. Governments, corporations and private citizens are finding it increasingly difficult to fund affordable quality healthcare. Today we will look at programs that allow citizen to be cared for in lower costs ambulatory settings outside the hospital. This workshop will look at the evidence for care beyond the hospital and we will examine the ICT infrastructure needed to support such care delivery. Central to providing Healthcare services beyond the hospital is the concept of team work, collaborative workflows and care coordination. Most healthcare delivery providers do not do a good job at coordinating care across the delivery continuum. A well designed ICT infrastructure might make it possible to improve such collaboration and better care for citizens outside the clinic or hospital. Please join us and come hear from a panel of experts who have taken this from theory to practicality. To register click here.
