AHIMA summit highlights future of HIT
Contemporary Long-Term Care Weekly, June 17, 2010
During the American Health Information Management Association’s (AHIMA) Long-Term and Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) Health Information Technology (HIT) Summit, held June 7-8 in Baltimore, MD, industry leaders and representatives from a variety of organizations met to discuss the future of HIT in LTPAC settings.
Eric Dishman, director of health innovation and policy at Intel Corporation and the keynote speaker, kicked off the summit with a presentation on the shift away from long-term care facilities to home and community-based care in the near future. This model of care is very different from the current model of institutionalized long-term care and will transform how providers deliver services and brand their organizations. During his presentation, Dishman outlined the major building blocks of community-based care systems, which are as follows:
- Care coordination
- Telehealth/e-care capabilities
- Social network/online communities
- Virtual call center capability
- Remote fleet management
- Service aggregation
- Broadband to community
- Volunteer training/management
