How to connect complex systems in healthcare

On September 25, IBM and HIMSS are sponsoring a free webcast dealing with methods of connecting complex systems in healthcare enterprises. The event will be led by the University of Michigan Health System’s CMIO, Dr. Andrew Rosenberg (pictured). His organization successfully connected over 40 disparate systems and medical devices, guided by an enterprise analytics strategy.

Healthcare organizations today are challenged to connect an explosion of data both inside and outside their organizational walls. From medical devices and monitors to research interfaces and the EMR, today’s healthcare enterprise requires a robust integration across complex systems to deliver a real-time 360 degree view of patients.

Whether it is quality-based reporting, financial modeling, or Big Data projects such as personalized health and basic science discoveries, information assets are becoming more voluminous, diverse and costly to generate, maintain, and exchange among competing needs.

Join this webinar to hear from Dr. Rosenberg, to learn how the University of Michigan Health System is achieving their goal for internal/external operability in support of their enterprise analytics roadmap to support its clinical, research, education and administrative missions.

Learn more about the specific challenges that were solved, how they integrated systems of record with medical devices, and hear about their plans for future integration.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

• How the University of Michigan Health System connected over 40 disparate systems and medical devices, guided by an enterprise analytics strategy.
• The performance factors your organization may need to consider as you evaluate in-house integration with your external requirements.
• The types of initiatives furthering the development of FHIR (r) (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), the next generation standards framework from HL7.

Andrew Rosenberg MD, is the Chief Medical Information Officer for the University of Michigan Health System and the Executive Director of Information and Data Management where he oversees reporting, data warehousing, enterprise document management and HIE services.
