Charting A New Course in Healthcare: How Organized IT Leadership Can Proactively Shape Healthcare’s Future
Russell Branzell, CEO, College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, (CHIME)
Russell Branzell will share with Executive Summit attendees his vision of the healthcare IT executive role in helping to shape the policy landscape in the coming years, at a time of accelerating health system change. Branzell, who in February was named incoming CEO of the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), officially took on the role on April 5. Prior to that transition, Branzell served in a variety of key executive positions in healthcare IT leadership and healthcare executive leadership, including as CIO of the Poudre Valley Health System (now the University of Colorado Health), and, most recently, as CEO of Colorado Health Medical Group, a division of the University of Colorado Health. In addition to his executive leadership positions, Branzell has been an energetic and highly active volunteer leader in CHIME; among his accomplishments has been spearheading what has become CHIME’s state-level advocacy efforts. In 2005, the American College of Healthcare Executives honored him as Young Healthcare Administrator of the Year for the state of Colorado. In 2010, Branzell was honored with the CHIME State Advocacy Award.
Population Health and Clinical Analytics – The Executive's Perspective
P02 – Afternoon Plenary Presentation
Keith Figlioli, SVP, Health Care Informatics, Premier Healthcare Alliance
In the Healthcare Informatics September 2012 cover story: “It Takes a (Big) Village: Laying the Foundations for Population Health”, Mr. Figlioli emphasizes “In the end, the “three pillars” of the new healthcare will be “data, knowledge, and people, all connected seamlessly. And,” he warns, “if the CIO does not have a foot solidly in the strategic planning process of the whole organization, and if the CIO is not in on the very first strategic meetings around ACO developments, I would argue that they’re dead in the water.”
As the senior vice president, healthcare informatics at the Charlotte-based Premier health alliance, Keith Figlioli sees the very big picture on all this, as he and his colleagues at Premier continue to develop tools and collaborations to help their thousands of hospital and medical group organizational members move forward to develop accountable care organizations, bundled payments, and patient-centered medical homes, and to succeed in the new world of value-based purchasing and meaningful use.
Prescription for the Journey Towards the New Healthcare
P03 – Closing Plenary Presentation
Brent James, M.D., Executive Director, Institute for Health Care Delivery Research; Vice President, Medical Research and Continuing Medical Education, Intermountain Healthcare
During this presentation, Brent James will discuss what his prescriptions are for the next decade in the journey towards the new healthcare.
The announcement in July 2012 that the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services had awarded a $9.7 million contract to the Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare, as part of its Health Care Innovation Awards initiative, came as no surprise to those in the know; after all, clinician and administrative executives at Intermountain had spent decades using data to support care delivery improvement. And one of Intermountain’s nationally recognized leaders, Brent James, M.D., has spent more than 20 years championing the standardization of clinical care through data collection and analysis on a wide variety of treatment protocols and complex care processes. Dr. James has long been a truly national pioneer in helping to lead the healthcare industry forward to embrace data-driven healthcare process improvement and change.
