| 09:00 - 09:45 | Keynote Session 3: The New Era of Cyber Threats: The Shift to Self-Learning and Self-Defending Networks [More Info] Sanjay Aurora, Managing Director, Darktrace, Asia Pacific, Singapore With machines fighting machines and increasingly sophisticated human attackers, we are now entering a new era of cyber-threats. The battle is no longer at the perimeter but inside of our organizations, and no security team can keep up with its speed. Cyber-attackers are quickly becoming silent and stealthy, and cyber defense has turned into an arms race. This new wave of cyber-threats has seen skilled attackers that may lie low for weeks or months. By the time they take definitive steps, their actions blend in with the everyday hum of network activity. These attacks call for a change in the way we protect our most critical assets. Self-learning and self-defending systems are now being deployed to continually assess business environments. Known as ‘immune system’ defense, this approach is used to uncover threats that have already penetrated the network border, and then automatically fight back. Unlike legacy approaches, which rely on rules or signatures, these technologies work autonomously, enable the security team to focus on high-value tasks, and can counter even fast-moving, automated attackers. In this session, learn about: • The new age of silent, stealthy attacks that lie low in networks for weeks and months • Why legacy approaches, like rules and signatures, are proving inadequate on their own • How new ‘immune system’ technologies based on advanced mathematics and machine learning are being deployed today | ||

| 11:00 - 11:45 | Keynote Session 5: Improving Team-Based, Collaborative Care and Physician Efficiency Through an EHR Optimization Strategy [More Info] Dr. Michael A. Pfeffer M.D, FACP, Assistant Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer, UCLA Health Sciences, Associate Program Director, Clinical Informatics Fellowship Program, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, USA The systematic optimization strategy is based on the idea that there is an "optimal fixed cost" of work that must be done by the physician in the EHR--this is the ideal amount of time a physician should spend per patient encounter. The "variable costs" of work fall into three categories: physician optimization, systems optimization, and platform optimization. Each of these categories offer ample opportunities for optimization and can be done in parallel by the organization's informatics team.
In this session, learning topics include:
• Defining value in healthcare related to electronic health records
• Discussing a systematic optimization strategy focused on the physician
• Exploring clinical decision support optimization that encourages team-based care
• Next steps for informatics teams on tackling electronic health record optimization

| 11:45 - 12:30 | Keynote Session 6: The Move to Value-Based Healthcare [More Info] Bob White, Senior Vice President & President, Asia Pacific, Medtronic, Singapore Value-based healthcare (VBHC) seeks to achieve better health outcomes while improving the efficiency of care delivery in health systems. Health policymakers, payers, hospitals, physicians, service providers, and manufacturers are expanding efforts to transition the concept into practical and actionable measures to manage health system costs while improving service delivery, effectiveness and patient outcomes. Data systems with analytics are needed to track and assess the outcomes achieved and costs incurred for services delivered through a VBHC program. This enables visibility and accountability for the value (e.g., outcomes achieved for the investments made) and provides the necessary intelligence for decision making. To successfully implement VBHC programs, outcomes must be clear and measurable and an infrastructure must be in place to support the accurate collection of data and analytics for developing insights that lead to action.

Every healthcare organization seeks to leverage visual analytics to improve
patient care and reduce costs. According to the NHS Atlas of Variation in
Healthcare, “Awareness is the first important step in identifying and addressing
unwarranted variation; if the existence of variation is unknown, the debate
about whether it is unwarranted cannot take place”. Qlik’s visual analytics
platform has enabled organizations to explore their data to readily uncover
best practices, drive efficiency, and engage clinicians in reducing this
variation. Come hear and see how!

 | Session V4: Value-Based Care = (Quality ÷ Cost) x Patient Engagement [More Info] Tim Morris, Product & Partnership Director, EMEALAAP, Elsevier, UK Patients are demanding more of their healthcare at a time when costs for basic care, procedures, drugs and management of long term conditions grow. Additionally, with increasing awareness on obesity, smoking, and alcohol, and with the introduction of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT), patients are in the embryonic phase of taking control of their own health and wellness. With the move to value-based care, patient engagement is becoming increasingly important. True value in healthcare can only be measured when quality over cost is delivered with patient engagement in the decision making process, resulting in compliance to treatment plans, and their overall satisfaction in health outcomes. This can be achieved through the delivery of consistent, sustainable, high value care, with the use of current, credible, evidence-based information and guidance.

| 15:45 - 16:00 | Keynote Session D5: How Healthy is Blockchain Technology? [More Info] Stephen Wilson, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research Inc., Australia Blockchain captured the imagination with a basket of attractive and topical security promises. Many of its properties – like decentralization, security and “trust” – are highly prized in healthcare, and as a result, interest is building in the health sector. But on close inspection, first generation blockchain technology is not a solid fit for e-health. Born from the anti-establishment cryptocurrency movement, public blockchains remove ‘people’ and ‘process’ from certain types of transactions, but they degrade in regulated settings where people and process are realities. Having inspired a new wave of innovation, blockchain technology needs a lot more work to address the needs of the health sector. This presentation first recaps what blockchain was for, what it does, and what it cannot do, and closes off with advice for how eHealth professionals should engage with this evolving family of technologies. | ||
| 16:00 - 16:30 | Session C5: Healthcare Everywhere [More Info] Dr. Eric Mbuthia Kanyi, Technology Director, Access Afya, Kenya Access Afya runs a collaborative care model in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Our care teams look different than one would in the developed world: patients receive care at clinics, in schools, at factories and after church. IT links together these interactions, providing data on provision of care, quality of care, and patient outcomes. The OECD average ratio of physicians to people is 3 to 1,000 and beds to people is 4.9 to 1,000. Kenya has 0.2 physicians and 1.3 beds per 1,000 people. Developing countries such as Kenya need doctors and hospitals but we are not going to have enough capital and time to fix this ratio fast enough to get care to people who really need it. New models focused on prevention, group care, and community health workers have the potential to keep more people healthier with fewer doctors and hospital beds. Access Afya is developing this model to showcase how collaborative community based primary care can work in some of the lowest income populations. | Session V5: Panel Discussion: The Road to Value Based Healthcare - Achieving High Quality Care and Reducing Healthcare Wastages [More Info] Dr. Keith Lim, Assistant Dean, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Group Chief Value Officer, National University Health System, Singapore Dr. Jeremy Lim, Partner & Head of Health & Life Sciences, Asia Pacific, Oliver Wyman, Singapore Dr. Michael A.

| 16:30 - 17:00 | Session D6: If You Build It, They Will Come: Machine Learning Delivered Via an Ideal Organizational Structure [More Info] Saif Ahmed, Chief Technology Officer, DocHuddle, USA The joke within the analytics community is that analytics is 80 percent data gathering and 20 percent actual analysis. With larger datasets in the big data realm, and especially with unstructured data, data gathering, pipeline, engineering and preparation efforts can approach 95% of the effort. Interestingly, a growing community of technologists revel at the opportunity to work on these initial data engineering efforts, a role which is simultaneously, often reviled by researchers as a trough of despair in the path of research. The obvious solution is to better structure organizations and teams to focus on their core competencies. Well structured medical data gathers researchers like bees to flowers. The wild success of several popular public medical datasets such as the diabetic retinopathy dataset, the lung cancer dataset and the breast cancer dataset are evidence of vast research interest which remains sadly underutilized by the medical community. Of course, hospitals will not generally make their internal medical datasets public, but even just internal usage is likely to foster internal research. Further, it is likely to attract highly motivated doctors and researchers to forward-leaning organizations and help differentiate technological and research leaders from traditional hospitals. Retention is also likely to increase. Research volume and impact are likely to increase, and commercial opportunities will even be realized by some leading players. The success of such centralized efforts is widely touted as one of the key differentiators at high-performing firms like Google, Facebook, Uber, Goldman Sachs, AQR Capital, and Citadel; Saif is driving efforts to bring these best practices to hospitals and clinical research organizations. | Session C6: Continuum of Care at Home: Navigating Complex Care Pathways from the Comfort of One's Home [More Info] Dr. Oommen John, President, Indian Association for Medical Informatics (IAMI), Senior Research Fellow, The George Institute for Global Health, India With increasing life expectancy and maturing healthcare systems, there is a growing population of people who develop chronic conditions that require long term care. In most settings, people with chronic conditions seek care from hospitals or standalone specialty centres. A person with multiple chronic conditions therefore would make several hospital or specialty clinic visits which add a huge burden to people who are aging and live on limited resources. As hospitals are primarily design to provide acute episodic care, there are immense opportunities for innovating around newer care pathways for chronic conditions. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the rationale for a technology assisted home based care provision that ensures the continuum of care. The talk would cover established models for ensuring the continuum of care in the home setting, specific focus would be on the technological innovations in this area and how these approaches could be evaluated for clinical outcomes. | |

| 17:10 - 17:55 | Closing Keynote Session 7: Humanizing Health Care: Innovation as a Strategic Imperative [More Info] Dr. Rasu Shrestha, Chief Innovation Officer, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; Executive Vice President, UPMC Enterprises, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA There is nothing more humane than the pursuit of providing care to our patients, and leading them towards wellness. Yet, even as we have been leveraging technology to aid us in this pursuit, we have tremendous opportunities to innovate and use technology as an enabler of care (vs an impediment to better care). Indeed, innovation if done right, essentially makes technology "invisible" - and brings out the most human aspects of empathy, trust and shared decision making.
This keynote aims to take a critical look to the "culture clash" that exists today in healthcare redesign, and the evolution of health IT amidst the changing landscape of health care. As we evolve new care models that span the balance from precision medicine to population health, with collaborative care models and team based approaches to care that accentuate the core attributes of value based care, it's critical to balance powerful capabilities such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with the right approaches and mind-shift. This talk aims to shine an inspiring spotlight to the art of the possible: in leveraging innovation and innovative approaches to health care redesign to truly humanize health care.
