Workshops

Beyond EHR – Achieving Operational Efficiency and Optimization

EHR is today a key initiative that many Governments are looking at to make healthcare safer, more affordable, and more streamlined. Oracle has been a major contributor to this initiative, providing thought leadership, battle-tested solutions, and best practices.

Attend this workshop and explore the different components and technologies that power one of the world’s most successful EHR platforms, the same platform that’s being implemented in the most advanced healthcare economies in Asia Pacific. In that same spirit, let us share with you what comes after EHR, and how economies should be leveraging off the system for greater and faster ROI’s.

In a segment Life after EHR, weíll explore the meaningful uses of healthcare data, by the clinical research and regulatory communities – the ultimate convergence of Healthcare and Lifesciences. We’ll also uncover endless opportunities for healthcare providers to gain better visibility and operational efficiency through the use of analytics and optimization.

What You Will Learn:

Session 1: Business Case & Benefit Realization for EHR across various stakeholders
Session 2: Going Beyond EHR – Opportunities & Operating Models
Session 3A: Building Foundation going beyond EHR
Session 3B: Making Medications Safer – from Bench to Bed Side
Session 4: Achieving Interoperability & Role of Standards
