A combination of federal health regulatory mandates are poised to
force healthcare providers and payors to adopt e-health technology
applications. Two special teleconferences on electronic healthcare
technology have been organized by Health Resources Publishing to assist
you in: a)understanding and planning for the federal requirements and b)
learning how to successfully implement e-healthcare technology.
MANASQUAN, NJ (PRWEB) November 5, 2004 -- Two senior-level
teleconferences on electronic healthcare technology have been organized by
Health Resources Publishing to help professionals adopt, and remain
compliant with, e-health technological applications required by several
federal health regulatory mandates.
"Planning for Compliance with
the Key Timelines and Deadlines of the Federal Mandates to Implement
e-Healthcare Technology," has been scheduled Thursday, Nov. 11 at 1:30 p.m
Eastern time, and "How to Implement Electronic Healthcare Technology to
Improve Patient Care and Improve Your Bottom Line," is set for Thursday,
Nov. 18 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.
"Planning For Compliance With
The Key Time Lines And Deadlines Of The Federal Mandates To Implement
e-Healthcare Technology," a 90-minute live conference, will help
participants understand the federal requirements and deadlines mandated
for the adoption of electronic health records, nationwide e-prescribing
mandates and other health information technology
requirements.
Expert speakers Jeff Greene, Business Development for
Dr. Notes, Inc. and John Quinn, Principal and Chief Technology Officer,
Capgemini Health Provider Practice, will cover topics including:
*
The regulations, standards and implementation requirements of Public Law
108-173: The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization
Act.
* The federal health mandates, timelines and deadlines for
adoption of the electronic medical record.
* The HL7 interoperability
standard; what it is and a review of a functional model.
"How to
Implement Electronic Healthcare Technology to Improve Patient Care and
Improve Your Bottom Line," a 90-minute live conference, focuses on ways
participants can implement e-healthcare technology by learning what has
worked – and what has not – from experienced professionals.
Expert
speakers Dr. Leo E. Cousineau, director of medical informatics for The
Kevric Company and Tom Mack, vice president of CH Mack, Inc. will cover
topics including:
* Personal experiences in implementing
e-Healthcare: what worked - what didn't.
* Implementation costs,
timelines, ROI.
* Use of electronic healthcare technology in disease
management.
* Use of healthcare technology to provide more holistic
(and more cost-effective) client care.
* Moving beyond the electronic
medical record (EMR).
* Integration of EMR and ECR (electronic client
record).
* Using the ECR to identify and address risk patterns and
prevent onset of the disease.
* Employment of a Primary Care Team
(PCT).
* Using a Program Goals Intervention Map (PGIM).
* Using
(free) home and community-based social services to identify and possibly
eliminate contributing factors to client health risks.
A 30-minute
question and answer session will also be included in each
teleconference.
The healthcare industry has been experiencing
tremendous activity in health information technology. Electronic medical
records (EMRs) and e-Prescribing systems promise higher quality and safety
of patient care, and a more cost and time-efficient healthcare
delivery.
Stimulating the growth and keen interest in e-prescribing
is the Medicare Modernization Act of 2004 (MMA) that mandates
e-prescribing, plans for the new The National Health Information
Infrastructure, and CMS mandates that electronic Medicare claims that do
not meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
standards will be treated as paper claims and paid more slowly than
HIPAA-compliant electronic claims.
Health Resources Publishing's
senior-level management briefings will assist healthcare executives in
adopting e-health technology practices and remain compliant with these new
federal regulations.
