302 – MEDITECH 6.X Contracting – Legal Insight and Advice
Presenter: William F. O'Toole, Jr.
Organization: O'Toole Law Group
Abstract: Migrating to 6.X is a major decision and should be given the same due diligence as a new
vendor search. The contracting process can be complicated and introduces considerations not found in
a straight new vendor acquisition, especially for long-‐term customers. This session will provide valuable
insight for all customers, large and small, embarking on this new technology investment path.
William O’Toole founded the O’Toole Law Group, specializing exclusively in healthcare information
technology, following his long tenure as Corporate Counsel at Medical Information Technology, Inc.
Known and respected by executives, attorneys and consultants throughout the healthcare industry,
O’Toole now represents healthcare provider entities and technology companies in all aspects of
technology acquisition, development and distribution.
303 – NPR Tips and Tricks – Fun with Printers, Files and Executables
Presenter: Joe Cocuzzo
Organization: Iatric Systems
Abstract: Join us for Magic and C/S tips and tricks for 2011, including:
• Printing to multiple printers from one report. For example, creating a face sheet that prints
three forms to three different printers from one ‘Print Admission Forms on:’ prompt. Switch
from portrait to landscape in one report.
• Three ways to create files or multiple files from one NPR report:
o using FTP.GHT (magic)
o using Z.smb.put.raf (one of a new set of Z utilities)
o using @File.create and @File.write (Client Server)
• Create a file from an NPR report; close it ‘early’ so you can then open it automatically from
Word or Excel.
• Build a url with more than 255 characters with an NPR report and manage to call the browser
with that url without using a VBScript or batch file.
• More automatic graphing from NPR reports, using a Javascript utility and the browser.
This
session
is
open
to
NPR
Report
Writers
of
all
levels
of
ability.

IT
Organizational
Models
Presenter:
Roberta
MacDonald
Organization:
Beacon
Partners
Abstract:
Healthcare
Information
Technology
(I.T.)
dynamics
and
care
delivery
is
becoming
increasingly
complex,
with
funding
unable
to
keep
pace.
Hospital
leadership
is
looking
for
increased
efficiency
and
effectiveness
from
I.T.
Many
are
looking
not
simply
for
improved
governance,
but
improved
I.T.
organizational
models.
I.T.
directors
are
under
increased
pressure
to
create
models
that
meet
the
needs
of
today
while
anticipating
future
requirements.
Developing
the
right
model
requires
a
comprehensive
examination
of
the
mix
of
people,
processes
and
technologies
of
an
organization,
while
staying
within
the
confines
of
a
shrinking
I.T.
budget.
The
appropriate
model
for
an
organization
is
one
that
considers
the
unique
requirements
of
that
organization.
Does
it
leverage
your
current
I.T.
investments?
Does
it
help
you
achieve
your
fiscal,
operational
and
clinical
goals?
Does
it
provide
a
stable,
flexible
infrastructure
for
continued
expansion
of
your
Electronic
Health
Record?
Don’t
base
your
decision
simply
on
cost.
Consider
long-‐term
implications,
flexibility,
risks,
challenges
and
advantages
of
each
model
within
a
context
of
your
established
strategy
and
goals.
An
understanding
of
the
conceptual
models
currently
used
to
structure
the
delivery
of
I.T.
services
provides
a
context
to
begin
the
evaluation
of
an
appropriate
model.
A
strong
I.T.
infrastructure
will:
• Align
with
core
business
needs.
• Be
highly
reliable,
available
and
secure.
• Be
cost
effective.
• Maintain
data
integrity.
• Integrate
data
from
disparate
sources.
• Have
well
established
metrics.
Evaluation
of
I.T.
models
must
begin
with
a
clear
vision
of
the
future
with
the
development
of
near
term
and
distant
goals.
A
vision
and
guiding
principle
should
be
defined
for
each
model,
to
direct
the
development
of
business
tactics
and
approaches
for
that
model,
in
support
of
the
organization’s
priorities.
A
comprehensive
review
of
an
IT
model
of
organization
should
include
careful
consideration
of
implications,
risks,
constraints
and
barriers
to
success.
Be
objective,
or
face
project
overruns
or
failure.

Meaningful
Metrics?
Presenter:
Roberta
MacDonald
Organization:
Beacon

Abstract:
Healthcare
IT
is
becoming
exponentially
challenging
to
manage.
There
is
heightened
pressure
to
“prove”
that
value
was
achieved,
increased
complexity
of
IT
infrastructure
and
application
portfolios.
There
is
decreased
tolerance
for
performance
problems.
Defining
IT
Metrics
are
often
perceived
as
challenging,
complex,
and
costly
to
implement.
This
presentation
will
discuss
the
importance
of
Metrics,
and
a
definition
of
‘good’
metrics.
The
presentation
will
walk
the
listener
through
a
how
to
guide

Understanding
Project
Healthcare
IT
Risk
Management
Presenter:
Mary
Moewe
Organization:
Iatric
Systems,
Inc.
Abstract:
Understanding
Project
Healthcare
IT
Risk
Management
–
Assessing
risk
and
managing
it
effectively.
Much
of
project
management
is
composed
of
understanding
risk
having
a
structured
approach
and
knowledge
to
effectively
manage
risk.
Having
a
process
for
identifying
healthcare
IT
risks
and
opportunities
will
make
you
a
more
effective
project
manager.
It
is
a
project
manager’s
job
to
worry
and
maintain
a
“healthy
paranoia”
regarding
risk,
even
if
it
sometimes
seems
a
bit
psychotic.
Having
a
good
balance
between
thinking
about
what
could
go
wrong
and
then
doing
everything
you
can
to
insure
the
project
is
executed
as
planned
is
our
work.
The
visibility
and
level
of
risk
management
appropriate
to
the
project
has
to
be
consistent
with
our
comfort
level
with
risk
and
the
culture
of
the
organization.
The
cost
of
the
risk
response
should
not
be
greater
than
the
loss
impact
the
risk
event
may
cause.
Any
factor
or
risk
that
could
seriously
impact
the
project
should
be
identified,
qualified
or
quantified
and
assessed
for
possible
impact.
This
includes
people,
process,
technology,
organization,
culture
and
environmental
influences.
Learn
how
to
respond
to
risk:
using
avoidance,
acceptance,
monitoring
and
prepare
contingencies,
and
mitigating
or
transferring
ownership
of
the
risk
factor.
Remember,
80%
of
all
project
risks
originate
from
the
same
sources
on
every
project
every
time.
Some
good
examples
of
risk
in
healthcare
IT
projects
are:
• Number
of
sites/hospitals
impacted
by
project
• Availability
and
number,
types
of
resources
• Number
of
IT
interfaces
involved
in
the
project
• Number
of
dependencies
on
other
projects
or
IT
systems
• Time
estimated
to
achieve
the
project
–
often
accelerated
in
hospital
IT
projects
• Stakeholder
Level
of
engagement
–
sometimes
there
are
differences
between
hospital
CIO
and
CNO
• Cash
flow
issues
–
Hospital
budget
cycle
doesn’t
always
work
with
the
project
budget
cycle
• Changes
in
priorities
or
project
objective
by
the
healthcare
organization
or
changes
in
Government
• Lack
of
experience
of
the
team
–
Project
Manager
is
brought
in
from
Radiology,
Nursing
or
Lab
and
doesn’t
have
significant
IT
experience
• Unproven
or
uncertified
technology
The
best
way
to
manage
and
control
risks
is
through
solid
project
management,
effective
project
planning,
and
the
project
team’s
desire
to
protect
the
project.

Clinical
Documentation
Optimization
Presenters:

Organization:
Chilton
Hospital
and
Cornerstone
Advisors
Abstract:
Chilton
Hospital
defines
Clinical
Documentation
Optimization
as
the
process
of
identifying
opportunities
for
improvement
and
subsequently
developing
corrective
measures
which
offer
value
to
end-‐users,
improve
workflow,
and
enhance
outcomes.
This
presentation
is
designed
to
showcase
the
processes,
toolsets,
and
outcomes
which
have
resulted
from
the
Clinical
Documentation
Optimization
efforts
at
Chilton
Hospital.
This
presentation
will
highlight
improvements
in
the
documentation
screens,
as
well
as
enhancements
to
workflow
and
clinical
processes.
A
project
team
was
formed
to
evaluate
current
documentation
screens
via
end-‐user
interviews
and
analysis.
Specific
data
points
were
evaluated
during
end-‐user
interviews
to
identify
how
screens
could
be
redesigned
to
improve
documentation
and
more
adequately
support
workflow
while
reducing
time
and
keystrokes
per
assessment.
As
a
result
of
these
performance
improvement
efforts,
Chilton
redesigned
their
clinical
documentation
change
management
process.
The
revised
change
management
process
relies
on
input
and
subsequent
approval
from
multiple
groups,
including
the
Nursing
Informatics
department,
Clinical
Super
Users’
Council,
and
the
Nursing
Informatics
Council
(NIC).
Each
of
these
group’s
roles
and
functions
will
be
highlighted
as
we
demonstrate
the
importance
of
the
change
management
process
to
ensure
integrity,
consistency,
and
buy-‐in.
Once
optimization
opportunities
were
identified,
approved,
and
implemented,
reassessments
were
performed
post-‐LIVE
to
validate
and
measure
(quantify)
the
value
of
the
improvements.
Additionally,
end-‐user
competency
testing
has
evolved
to
be
a
significant
component
of
the
performance
improvement
process
and
as
such
is
performed
on
an
annual
basis
to
ensure
adequate
understanding
and
adoption
of
important
system
and
workflow
changes.

HIPAA
5010
–
Don't
Be
Left
Behind
–
The
Deadline
is
Approaching
Presenter:
Barbara
DaRosa
Organization:
CSC
Abstract:
The
final
countdown
for
the
5010/ICD-‐10
implementation
and
testing
has
begun.
By
January
2012
healthcare
organizations
must
have
all
the
HIPAA
5010
Compliance
testing
completed.
However,
many
studies
show
that
most
healthcare
organizations
have
not
even
begun
to
put
a
test
plan
together.
Can
these
organizations
still
complete
the
necessary
testing
before
time
runs
out?
Even
with
all
the
talk
and
forewarning
of
the
HIPAA
5010
testing
deadline,
many
healthcare
organizations
do
not
believe
this
deadline
of
January
2012
is
a
firm
one.
Many
hospitals
are
still
in
denial
that
this
deadline
will
be
upon
them
very
soon.
A
large
percentage
of
hospitals
have
taken
the
approach
that
if
testing
has
not
been
done
by
all
healthcare
organizations
then
the
deadline
will
be
pushed
out.
Nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth.
January
2012
is
only
months
away
and
for
those
healthcare
organizations
who
have
not
completed
the
necessary
testing
–
the
results
could
mean
a
reimbursement
catastrophe!
It
is
NOT
too
late
to
start
this
testing
process
but
an
expedited
approach
must
be
taken.
A
team
devoted
to
solely
the
testing
and
implementation
of
the
HIPAA
5010
and
ICD-‐10
codes
must
be
established.
Three
separate
portions
of
the
project
need
to
be
addressed:
Assessment
&
Recommendation
Phase:
• Gap
Analysis
and
Impact
Analysis
• 4010-‐5010
&
5010-‐4010
Mapping
Changes
must
be
noted
• Risk
and
Mitigation
Plan
and
Project
Plan
Creation
Implementation
Phase:
• HIPAA
validation
assets
• Mapping
components
• ICD10
Cross
walk
• Pre-‐built
wrappers
• Data
Repository
Entry
(creation
of
new
business
rules
and
routing
processes)
Testing
Phase:
• HIPAA
Validation
testing
• Functional
Testing
• Integrating
Testing
• Trading
partner
set
up
and
testing
This
theory
is
not
reinventing
the
wheel.
However,
in
order
to
get
a
hospital
on
track
and
in
the
midst
of
the
testing
phase,
a
dedicated
staff
and
experienced
project
manager
will
be
required
need
to
devote
100%
of
their
time
to
the
efforts
of
HIPAA
5010.
The
deadline
is
coming
–
do
not
miss
it!

Care
Plans
in
the
EMR
Presenter:
Katey
Ortlieb
Organization:
Beacon
Partners
Abstract:
Are
you
in
a
Care
Plan
conundrum?
Creating
meaningful,
valuable
care
plans
in
an
electronic
medical
record
presents
many
challenges.
Often
times,
clinicians
feel
the
care
plans
is
“another
task
to
complete”
or
“just
something
else
I
have
to
do.”
This
session
is
meant
to
address
those
challenges
and
offer
recommendations
for
improvement/creation
of
care
plans
in
MEDITECH.
Key
points
of
the
session
include:
• Reconciling
your
organization’s
definition
of
a
care
plan
with
the
definition
of
regulatory
bodies
• Identifying
the
purpose
of
the
care
plan.
What
do
you
want
from
your
care
plan?
What
purpose
do
you
want
it
to
serve?
• Discussion
of
various
languages
to
use
to
create
your
care
plans
• Involving
end-‐users
in
the
improvement
process
• Innovative
ways
to
use
the
dictionaries
in
MEDITECH
to
create
a
care
plan
that
is
valuable
to
the
patient
and
staff
• Making
the
care
plan
interdisciplinary
• Meeting
regulatory
requirements
in
regards
to
care
planning
• A
roadmap
-‐
To
get
you
where
you
want
to
be!

Guide
to
User
Provisioning

Abstract:
The
journey
to
designing
appropriate
access
for
users
in
MEDITECH
Version
6.x
is
complex
and
user
friendly
at
the
same
time.
The
ease
of
design
puts
a
misleading
face
on
the
complex
pieces
needed
to
create
access.
Understanding
the
new
Menu
Procedure
Access
(MPA)
as
a
common
portal
for
access
to
both
NPR
and
Focus
applications
that
are
built
in
6.x
can
turn
a
frustrating,
tedious
challenge
for
the
person
designing
access
into
a
well-‐organized
walk
in
the
park!
It
is
essential
to
have
a
grasp
of
the
layers
and
integrated
pieces
that
govern
access.
MEDITECH
has
beautifully
designed
desktops
for
each
application
that
facilitates
access
to
other
applications
and
processes
the
User
needs
to
maximize
their
work
flow.
This
ease
of
use
comes
to
an
abrupt
end
if
the
users
have
not
been
assigned
to
the
Access
Groups
and
Person
Profiles
that
allow
them
to
use
the
functionality
on
the
desktops.
This
session
will
provide
a
preview
of
the
new
integrated
desktops
and
a
clear
demonstration
of
the
multiple
levels
and
pieces
needed
to
create
appropriate
access
for
end
users.
Pre-‐tested
tools
used
for
implementations
will
be
shared
and
we
will
demonstrate
how
to
approach
and
set-‐up
simple
and
complex
MPAs.

ARRA
&
Physician
Documentation
in
the
Clinic
Setting
Presenter:
Donna
Perry
Organization:
Beacon
Partners
Abstract:
As
ARRA
deadlines
loom,
many
clinics
are
rushing
to
convert
to
electronic
records.
Although
physicians
may
be
familiar
with
using
electronic
documentation
and
ordering
within
the
hospital
setting,
they
may
still
be
using
paper
methods
for
day
to
day
documentation
and
record
management
within
the
clinic.
Reasons
for
this
lag
are
many,
however
a
common
challenge
is
the
sheer
complexity
of
clinic
operations
coupled
with
a
lack
of
resources
that
are
able
to
understand
and
assist
with
the
transition.
In
this
interactive
session,
the
audience
will
examine
the
processes
of
a
theoretical
Internal
Medicine
clinic
and
discuss
what
type
of
preparation
will
be
needed
for
a
conversion
to
an
electronic
record.
Audience
members
will
gain
an
understanding
of
process
evaluation
that
can
be
used
to
help
prepare
their
own
clinics
for
a
paper
to
electronic
conversion.

Inspiring
Reporting
Options
in
the
World
of
6.0
Presenter:
Glen
D'Abate
Organization:
Acmeware,
Inc.
Abstract:
If
you
are
preparing
to
implement
MEDITECH
version
6.0,
there
are
unique
ad-‐hoc
report
development
challenges
that
will
need
to
be
addressed.
The
NPR
Report
Writer
is
not
capable
of
accessing
MEDITECH
Advanced
Technologies
(M-‐AT)
based
applications
data
(i.e.
advanced
clinical
–
PCS/EDM/OM
/ARM)
for
ad-‐hoc
reports.
The
newly
developed
6.0
Report
Designer
ad-‐hoc
reporting
application
does
not
contain
the
robust
development
toolset
found
in
NPR
RW
and
has
efficiency
limitation
when
accessing
the
older
NPR
data
structures.
Filling
this
void
is
the
Data
Repository
(DR)
SQL
Server
database
application
which
provides
a
platform
for
efficient
ad-‐hoc
report
development
using
all
NPR-‐based
and
M-‐AT-‐based
application
data
in
6.0.
This
session
will
provide
a
high
level
review
of
ad-‐hoc
report
development
tools
that
are
available
for
free
as
part
of
your
MEDITECH
DR,
Microsoft
SQL
Server
Database
implementation.
We
will
review
three
distinct
interactive
development
environments:
1. Analysis
Services
–
Where
significant
initial
development
work
is
required
to
configure
an
ad-‐
hoc,
web-‐based
reporting
environment
and
little
or
no
training
is
required
for
end
users
to
analyze,
review,
and
manipulate
numeric
report
data
(e.g.,
totals,
counts,
averages,
etc.).
2. Report
Model/Report
Builder
–
Where
significant
initial
development
work
is
required
to
configure
an
ad-‐hoc,
web-‐based
reporting
environment
and
minimal
training
is
required
for
non-‐technical
staff
to
develop
ad-‐hoc
reports
including;
selecting
report
output
columns,
filtering
data,
aggregation,
layout,
format,
input
parameters
and
more.
3. Report
Server
Projects
(in
Visual
Studio)
–
Where
technical
staff
can
develop
highly
sophisticated,
full-‐featured,
web-‐based
reports
with
access
to
all
of
the
technical
capabilities
of
the
Microsoft
Visual
Studio
interactive
development
environment
This
session
will
provide
an
overview
of
the
pros
and
cons
of
each
of
these
Microsoft

development
technologies
in
the
context
and
unique
configuration
of
the

Meeting
“Meaningful
Use”
in
the
Community
Hospital:
A
MEDITECH
Client

5.64
and
6.0
Experience
Presenters:
Mary

Memorial
Hospital,
Beaufort
Memorial
Hospital,
and
CSC
Abstract:
This
topic
will
dispel
the
myth
that
community
hospitals
cannot
satisfy
the
"meaningful
use"
in
a
timely
manner.
In
fact,
the
topic
will
show
that
small
community
hospitals
in
many
ways
are
better
positioned
to
comply
with
the
"meaningful
use"
criteria
by
careful
planning
and
understanding
what
steps
to
take.
We
will
explore
the
efforts
of
Lenoir
Memorial
Hospital,
a
261-‐bed
acute
care
hospital
located
in
rural
North
Carolina
and
Beaufort
Memorial,
a
197-‐bed
acute
care
hospital
in
South
Carolina.
We
will
provide
an
example
of
what
two
small
community
hospital
can
and
should
do
to
achieve
compliance,
linking
the
more
general,
conceptual
content
of
the
introductory
part
of
the
topic
with
an
actual
setting
that
is
closing
in
on
achieving
compliance.
Lenoir
Memorial
launched
its
planning
efforts
regarding
"meaningful
use"
in
late
2009
and
is
tracking
toward
compliance
by
2012.
Beaufort
made
the
decision
to
convert
from
Magic
to
MEDITECH's
6.0
platform,
going
Live
in
March
of
this
year,
and
will
meet
“meaningful
use”
compliance
in
2011.

Physician
Strategies:
Using
Information
Technology
to
Earn
Loyalty
Presenter:
Robert
J
Schwartz,
M.D
Organization:
Dearborn
Advisors,
LLC
Abstract:
Most
facilities
find
themselves
in
a
competitive
environment
and
struggle
with
the
best
methods
to
work
with
their
provider
communities.
There
are
many
intrinsic
and
external
pressures
on
the
fragile
provider-‐health
system
relationship
that
can
result
in
fewer
patients
for
the
health
system
and
strained
relationships.
Commonly,
relationships
with
referring
providers
and
the
medical
staff
is
defaulted
to
the
physicians
themselves
or
delegated
to
one
or
two
individuals
who
are
not
integrated
into
the
executive
or
clinical
environment.
Quality
of
care
initiatives
are
now
common
and
most
are
successful,
resulting
in
difficulty
in
identifying
clear
market
leaders
at
a
regional
level.
Differentiation
then
requires
additional
strategies
that
create
a
competitive
advantage
for
the
hospital
and
this
can
be
obtained
by
borrowing
from
the
hotel,
entertainment
and
aviation
industries.
Customer
Relationship
Management
(CRM)
has
been
adapted
to
the
health
care
environment
-‐
termed
Provider
Relationship
Management
(PRM)
-‐
and
has
demonstrated
support
of
quality
care
initiatives,
multi-‐year
increases
in
referrals
and
increased
revenue.
The
presentation
will
start
with
lessons
learned
from
other
industries
excelling
at
CRM,
addressing
the
adjustments
necessary
for
the
health
care
environment.
The
next
part
will
be
a
case
study
of
a
successful
program
that
dramatically
increased
referrals
and
provided
many
unplanned
benefits
from
the
implemented
components.
The
focus
will
be
on
the
technology
components
of
Health
Information
Exchanges
(HIE),
Decision
Support
and
Messaging
Technologies.
It
will
conclude
by
identifying
the
key
components
in
this
model
of
PRM
and
some
lessons
learned.
Robert
J
Schwartz,
M.D.,
M.P.H.;
Physician
Executive
has
more
than
25
years
of
clinical
experience.
Prior
to
joining
Dearborn

in
2009,
Dr.
Schwartz
served
as
Vice
President
and
Medical
Director
of
Referring
Physician
Relations
at
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Medical
Center
(UPMC).
He
was
responsible
for
maintaining
relationships
with
more
than
4,000
community
and
referring
physicians.
While
there,
he
conceived,
developed
and
implemented
an
innovative
quality
of
service
strategy,
creating
excellence
in
access,
information
sharing
and
service
recovery.
At
UPMC,
his
ideas
and
operations
created
a
new
approach
to
physician
loyalty
(i.e.,
earning
their
loyalty),
contributed
to
patient
safety
through
clinical
messaging,
and
created
a
measurable
reduction
in
legal
risk
by
bridging
the
gap
between
hospital
and
community
providers
by
treating
them
as
valued
customers.
This
work
led
to
Dr.

Clinician
of

MEDITECH
Systems
Update
2011
Presenter:
James
Fitzgerald
Organization:
Dell

Abstract:
MEDITECH
is
evolving
quickly
to
continue
to
provide
patient,
physician
and
hospital
information
systems
that
help
healthcare
organizations
achieve
their
mission
of
improving
the
quality
and
delivery
of
healthcare
within
their
communities.
As
MEDITECH’s
customers
ride
this
“power
curve”
to
achieve
a
full
continuum
of
care
with
interoperability
and
meaningful
use,
the
underlying
systems
and
technologies
must
adapt
to
changes
in
the
MEDITECH
software
as
well
as
changes
in
the
regulatory
environment.
This
pragmatic
discussion
reviews
some
of
this
year’s
technology
changes
in
MEDITECH’s
offering,
incremental
adjustments
hospitals
can
make
to
take
advantage
of
those
changes,
and
ways
to
plan
successfully
for
the
future.
Topics
covered
specifically
as
they
relate
to
MEDITECH’s
offering
will
include
encryption
of
data,
archiving,
the
growing
use
of
data
repositories
and
warehouses,
interoperability,
virtual
desktops,
and
new
disaster
recovery
methodologies.

Understanding
the
Many
Facets
of
User
Provisioning
in
MEDITECH
6.0
for
Large

Small
Market
Hospitals
Presenter:
Rene
McKinnon
Organization:

Abstract:
With
the
integrations
of
the
MIS
user
Dictionary
and
the
MIS
Provider
Dictionaries,
and
the
addition
of
multiple
Roles
and
Facilities/Locations
in
the
new
MEDITECH
6.0
software,
user
provisioning
has
become
more
complex
and
versatile.
These
enhancements
to
the
system
enable
this
essential
User/Provider
build
to
take
place
in
one
area
regardless
of
the
size
of
the
hospital
market.
The
newly
integrated
dictionaries
allow
the
small
or
large
market
hospital
system
to
control
their
user
functionality,
appropriate
access,
provider
access
and
functionality
in
one
place.
The
system
now
provides
one
area
for
the
data
entry
and
maintenance
of
all
essential
user/provider
information.
Often
times
the
attention
is
placed
on
the
individual
modules
builds
and
people
lose
sight
of
the
importance
of
the
End
User
and
Provider
build,
this
newly
integrated
dictionary
build
directly
impacts
the
complete
system
usability.
During
this
hour
we
will
attempt
to
refocus
the
attentions
and
importance
of
User
Provisioning
while
increasing
the
attendee’s
knowledge
and
understanding.
The
presentation
will
provide
the
insight
for
the
preparation,
and
execution
of
this
build
for
a
hospital
system.
Focus
will
be
on:
• Preparation
needed
by
the
hospital
prior
to
the
start
of
the
project
•
How
to
utilize
different
tools
to
assist
with
the
build
for
the
entire
HCIS
•
The
Importance
of:
o Roles
o Profiles
o Access
groups:
Focus,

o MPA’s
(Menu’s

• Importance
of
incorporating
Physician/provider
Information
requirements
for

and
regulatory
needs
in
the
initial
information
gathering
stages
• The
collaboration
with
the
project
teams
–
to
gather
the
needed
information
• Ways
to
avoid
re-‐work
or
rebuilding
of

• A
great
opportunity
to
clean-‐up
old

build
mishaps
• The
importance
of
incorporating
the
new
user
functionality,
and

training
to
enhance
the
user
experience
• How
to
utilize
the
new

and
hopefully
keep
Provider
and
end
User

Understand
the
Integration
and
Functionality
between
the
OM/EMR
and
LAB
Applications
Presenter:
Nichole
Malone
Organization:

Abstract:
In
the
early
stages
of
all
implementations,
it
is
crucial
to
understand
the
integration
between
all
applications
and
how
the
build
in
one
application
will
impact
the
functionality
of
all
connecting
applications.
Although
some
functionality
and
integration
is
the
same
in
the
MAGIC
platform
as
it
is
in
the
new
6.0
platform,
the
majority
has
changed
between
the
two
platforms.
The
perfect
example
can
be
seen
with
the
OM/EMR
and
LAB
applications.
This
session
will
reveal
the
major
changes
that
6.0
brings
to
the
OM/EMR
and

and
an
integration
standpoint.

about
the
impact
that

348 – Scanning and Archiving and 6.0
Presenter: Denis Brideau
Organization: Dell Services
Abstract: The planning and implementation of Scanning and Archiving (SCA) is often overlooked by
many organizations as it is easy to underestimate the complexity of the application, the resources,
policies and processes along with the technology required to achieve a successful implementation. This
is even more important for sites that are migrating from Magic to the new 6.0 or MEDITECH Advanced
Technology (M-‐AT) platform as SCA is the vehicle used to migrate reports from Magic applications to
EMR for patient-‐related reports and MIS for Financial reports. This session will give an overview of 6.0
SCA, go over some of what MEDITECH has in development for future releases, describe the report
migration, and review lessons learned from those who have been through the process.
Denis Brideau has more than 23 years of healthcare information systems and management experience.
He has worked specifically with MEDITECH applications for the last 19 years and has been with Dell
Services for seven of those. His hospital expertise has been developed through various roles such as
Director of Information Technology and Systems Analyst. Denis’ work on the Dell Services team includes
project management of MEDITECH implementations, Scanning and Archiving assessments,

Integrating
Electronic
Medical
Records
to
MEDITECH
Presenter:
Aurel
Kleinerman,
M.D.,
Ph.D.
Organization:
Blue
Iris
(MITEM
Corporation)
Abstract:
The
health
IT
component
of
the
2009
Stimulus
Bill,
the
HITECH
Act,
appropriates
$19.2
billion
dollars
to
encourage
the
adoption
of
Electronic
Health
Records.
Beginning
this
year,
more
than
$40,000
is
offered
to
each
physician
to
acquire
an
Electronic
Medical
Records
System
(EMR).
Beginning
in
2015,
penalties
are
going
to
be
imposed
by
Centers
for
Medicare
and
Medicare
Services
(CMS)
if
the
participating
health
care
provider
is
not
using
an
EMR.
Currently,
it
is
estimated
that
less
than
8%
of
physicians
have
access
to
an
advanced
EMR
–
an
EMR
that
is
connected
to
remote
health
services:
Labs,
Pathology,
Radiology,
Hospital
Information
System,
etc.
There
are
850,000
active
physicians
in
the
US
of
which
85%
(650,000)
practice
in
a
small
office
(less
than
nine
physicians).
There
are
75,000
hospitals
in
the
US
which
means
that
each
hospital
serves
an
average
of
85
small
physician
practices.
Wide
and
rapid
adoption
of
EMRs
is
going
to
strain
the
health
IT
resources
for
integration.
How
to
integrate?
What
is
the
most
efficient
way
to
integrate?
Who
is
going
to
integrate?
What
is
the
role
of

IT?
How
will
standards
help
integration?
This
presentation
is
designed
to
be
a
primer
to
integration
and
an
attempt
to
answer
the
questions
above
without
going
into
complex
technical
details.

Abstract:
Learn
how
Alice
Peck
Day
Memorial
Hospital
fights
the
battle
of
Time
vs.
Speed
Instead
of
focusing
on
the
“speeds
and
feeds”
of
the
scanner
hardware,
hospitals
are
better
served
by
asking
”how
long
will
it
take
me
to
prep
1,000
pages
for
scanning”.
The
reason
why
is,
if
it
takes
two
hours
to
prep
1,000
pages,
how
important
is
the
fact
that
your
scanner
scans
at
100
pages
per
minute?
Trade
groups
within
the
document
imaging
industry
estimate
that
it
typically
takes
one
hour
to
prep
between
500-‐600
pages
for
the
scanning
process.
What
are
the
factors
that
contribute
to
the
prep
time
labor?
Hospitals
need
to
know
that,
and
they
don’t.
This
presentation
is
essentially
a
case
study
of
the
implementation
of
scanning
at
Alice
Peck
Day
Memorial
Hospital.
It
illustrates
what
was
done
to
fight
the
battle
of
“Time
vs.

to
abbreviate
the
time
demands
placed
on
scarce
pharmacy

the
process
used
to
integrate
pre-‐built
ordering
content
from
a

application.
Considerations
discussed
will
include
the
mapping
of
MEDITECH
data
dictionaries
to
the
ordering
content
provided
by
the
drug

there
will
be
a
review
of

Eliminating
Common
Registration
Errors
that
Cause
Delayed

Days
&
Denials
Presenter:
Glenn
Gross
Organization:
Provider
Advantage
Abstract:
The
job
of
patient
registration
has
become
one
of
the
most
complex
revenue
cycle
jobs
in
the
hospital.
Low-‐paid
staff
need
to
understand
multiple
insurance
codes
and
rules,
comply
with
regulatory
issues
like
HIPAA,
Fair
Debt
Regulations,
JCAHO
and
more.
Now
they
are
being
asked
to
provide
patient
estimates
and
even
collect
from
the
patient
prior
to
service.
What
can
go
wrong
with
all
that?
This
session
will
review
things
that
you
can
do
to
reduce
and/or
eliminate
common
errors
which
can
cause
"chain
of
event"
issues
throughout
the
patient
access
and
billing
departments
which
cause
increased
AR
days
and
denials
in
most
hospitals.
This
session
will
explore
real
life
patient
access
situations
and
ways
to
deal
with
them
to
make
the
job
of
your
hospital
staff
easier
while
providing
better
communication
and
customer
service
to
patients.
Finally,
we
will
tie
this
to
how
your
patient
access
and
accounting
departments
will
impress
administration
with
lower
denials,
increased
POS
collections
and
happier
customers.

362 – Operational Excellence in the MEDITECH Hospital
Presenter: Jim Graham
Organization: New Age Technologies
Abstract: Server virtualization is now accepted as a mainstream and reliable solution for the majority of
applications in the datacenter. However, virtualizing specialized applications like MEDITECH has lagged
behind in many hospitals. Given the criticality of the information stored in the MEDITECH systems,
protecting the data and having it highly available have historically had major obstacles to overcome.
Virtualization has completely changed this paradigm and now offers availability and data protection
capabilities that were financially unrealistic just a few years ago. Come to this session to learn how you
can systematically transform your MEDITECH environment to a highly available infrastructure that can
even overcome physical site disasters within just a few hours, instead of days or weeks.
Jim Graham is the Practice Manager of the Healthcare Consulting Solutions Group at New Age
Technologies and has worked in the MEDITECH HIS space for 15 years. Jim currently sits on the Health
Information Exchange (HIE) Business and Technology Committee for the State of New Hampshire.

and More
Presenter: Charles Mallio, Jr.
Organization: BridgeHead Software
Abstract: You may have heard the industry buzz about Vendor Neutral Archives, or VNAs. These
solutions are promoted as being able to free you from the “tyranny of your PACS vendor” and enabling
you to take control of your medical image data. A laudable goal, but most of these solutions focus solely
on medical images and neglect the larger issue of managing the entirety of healthcare data in your
organization. In this session, we will discuss the full scope of data growth problems facing healthcare IT
today and offer strategies for coping with this problem in a cost-‐effective and scalable manner.
Charles Mallio, Jr., Vice President, Product Strategy & Business Development Charlie has worked in
healthcare for over 20 years, specializing in IT specifically since 1995. As VP, Product Strategy & Business

367 – Registration: The Foundation of Hospital Business
Presenter: Kim Bottcher
Organization: Boston Software Systems
Abstract: The basic patient information gathered in the registration process forms the basis of care and
revenue. Whether part of an EMR implementation or as a strategic move towards operational efficiency,
more and more hospitals are automating part or all of their registration process -‐ and in a variety of
ways. These hospitals are finding they can improve revenue and efficiencies throughout the
organization. During this session we will explore the various ways you can automate registrations, the
workflows to consider during implementation, what to expect and the benefit to patients and staff.

• Importance of incorporating regulatory measures such as Joint Commission Standards and Core
Measures into the build
• Formation of the project teams – a new way of thinking
• Why your project needs a hospital MEDITECH champion & the importance of their participation
in all aspects of the project
• The EMR should not be treated like a dumping ground for information

371 – 1, 2… 20, 21… Did I Really Just Count That Many Ways to Utilize Scripting?
Presenter: Brian Rogers
Organization: Summit Healthcare
Abstract: Let us do the thinking for you! We will present how scripting technology can be utilized by all
departments in your hospital. Whether you have an immediate need to eliminate redundant data entry
or perhaps you have that vital sign point of care device that is just too costly to interface let us
demonstrate how you can produce more with less.
Take out the guess work, grab your notebook and pen and start manually jotting down the ways
you can use scripting. Just maybe by the end of the session this too can be an automated process! This
session is geared toward all audiences and all MEDITECH platforms.

372 – Basic Meaningful Use Reporting From Data Repository
Presenter: Ian Proffer
Organization: Acmeware, Inc.
Abstract: Many hospitals are still determining how to meet the ARRA 2009 requirements for Meaningful
Use reporting. In this session we will explore how MEDITECH’s Data Repository (DR) can be used as part
of the reporting puzzle for the 2011/2012 Stage 1 requirements. Many of the core and menu
measurements can be easily reported out of your Data Repository using basic SQL reporting skills, they
do not require complex clinical rules or newly installed MEDITECH components.
Using SQL Server Management Studio, we’ll show you how to write your own queries to capture
measures like Record Demographics, charted Vital Signs, and the use of CPOE for medication orders.
Certain quality measures, like those for ED Throughput, can also be readily reported if you have the
necessary MEDITECH modules as part of your system.
If you’re either a database analyst or report writer looking to learn more about how to navigate the DR
for accurate data, or just interested in how the DR can be a part of your Meaningful Use reporting
solution, join us for this educational session.
Ian Proffer spent seven years in healthcare IT at Jefferson Healthcare in Port Townsend, WA (a
MEDITECH C/S site) and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle before joining Acmeware in 2007. Ian has
over 18 years of experience as a database analyst, administrator and architect, including four years at
Microsoft Corp., where worked extensively with SQL Server starting on version 4.21. His practical work
experience in healthcare includes database analysis and administration, report and application
authoring and development, and user education and training.
