| 09:40 - 09:50 | Plenary Session - We Have The IT, But Can We Use It? Usability of Health Information Technology and Smart Services Dr. Robert Schumacher, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, User Experience, GfK, USA If we don't set out to make software applications and devices difficult to use, why are they often so difficult to use? In this presentation, we will take a serious look at the 'human in the loop': What is usability and user experience and why is it important in digital health?
Drawing on experience and example, we will show where poor usability costs lives and negatively impacts patients and providers. Poor user experiences also result in huge losses in productivity and retards return on investment.
The user interface should be treated as seriously - perhaps even more so - as all other aspects of interconnectivity.
We have the knowledge and the skill to design a more usable world.
We will discuss the important steps that can be taken to ensure that the tools we give our users are safe, effective and usable. | Session Transition to Invitation Only Data Governance Workshop This Workshop is by Invitation Only |

daily in the hospital that employs him. Today, he dictates a soap note at
his office, on his desktop, in the EMR. He decides to create a text block (an
autotext) that he might frequently need, to not have to dictate over again each
time. He has to leave urgently to see a patient, takes his iPad, logs
into the EMR on his iPad and along his emergency visit, on the go, creates
another soap note (using the recently created text bock). He saves
tremendous time by utilizing one speech profile , anywhere, anytime. | Coffee Break |
| 11:20 - 11:30 | Demonstration 4 - What About Tomorrow? How a single decision can make the Middle East the global center for Health IT Jacob Plummer, Vice President, Global Business Development, Allscripts International Session Description:
By studying network technologies in the social media and
consumer electronics space, it is clear that many great achievements are
delivered not by single applications, but rather by platforms that enable
applications to reach their full potential by working together. How do we apply
this insight to advance Community and Population Health insights?
Allscripts will present a platform technology, the Community Health Platform, that makes EMRs and dozens of other clinical applications more powerful and meaningful than before possible. We will demonstrate how, with today’s technology, data can automatically be brought together into a single integrated, unified workflow, with impressive clinical adoption rates. But, this is just a beginning. Using the Community Health Platform will transform healthcare as it exists today, but what about tomorrow? In our final comments, we will present how the Middle East region has the potential to apply this technology in a way never done before, in a way we believe will make the Middle East region into the global center for Health IT entrepreneurship and innovation. | Patient Identification Challenges in Health Information Governance Ammar Al-Badarneh, Assistant Director & Chief Architect –Strategy Management Office Information & Communication Technology, Ministry of Health, KSA |
