AboutHealthcare IT Connect The Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act's provisions establishing Accountable Care Organizations have the potential for transformational change by fundamentally altering the clinical, operational and business models driving much of today's healthcare industry. To be successful under this new model, ACOs will engage patient populations to maintain their health and well-being, will deliver patient-centered healthcare to the sick in a variety of settings with more efficient, higher quality care, and will empower patients, care givers, and care managers with tools allowing for more informed decisions and facilitating greater collaboration and coordination among a distributed care team. Foundational to the success of these organizations will be a technology architecture that integrates traditional HIT tools that collect and distribute clinical data with new tools that support population health, clinical workflow, advanced analytics and patient engagement. The 2012 Accountable Care and Health IT Strategies Summit will review a variety of Accountable Care Organizational models and examine Health IT's role in supporting these new models. At the summit, policy makers and leading HIT strategists will provide critical insights and early adopters of leading edge Accountable Care Organization implementations and the associated technology infrastructures will present their experiences. Health IT experts will look at the spectrum of HIT and identify successes and gaps in its ability to support these new models. The Summit will provide participants with unique perspectives with which to evaluate events in the coming year. SUMMARY Healthcare providers, payers and ACO Pilots are rapidly determining their organization's strategy to succeed in an Accountable Care setting, a critical part of establishing a successful ACO is to plan and implement the IT systems that will enable the improved workflow, care coordination and support new incentive and payment models. Healthcare IT Connect would like to thank Co-Sponsors: Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative, Care Continuum Alliance, Advisory Board Company and the Center for Connected Health at Partners for their support in bringing together what we anticipate will be a very meaningful discussion over the next 3 days. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT Immersed in this intensive learning experience you will examine innovative strategies and best practice for managing and implementing information technology and with an appreciation of successful leadership and governance strategies to succeed in the Era of Accountable Care.
