People-centred EHR technology is the fuel that will drive a paradigm shift in the healthcare system in the next 3-5 years. If introduced with vision and leadership, this has the potential to be an evolutionary change in healthcare; if blindly introduced, it will bring chaos or collapse. Dr. Glover will challenge delegates to consider four realities and answer the five questions that will determine the outcome. ** To download Dr. Vaughan Glover's presentation, click here **

9:45 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Session 2: Cleaning up Ontario's Clinical Data:
The eCHN Experience
After 10 years, eCHN—Canada’s first and largest electronic health record—can share some lessons learned from the success of this unique initiative. Merely querying and displaying simple or complex data from existing systems risks “garbage in, garbage out.” Significant cleaning, normalization, validation, etc. is needed before clinicians will accept it. ** To download Andrew Szende's presentation, click here **

10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. Session 3: How Technology Will Transform Care
in Ways Beyond the EHR
Successful healthcare interactions can be rendered down to three principle connections: people to people, people to information and people to equipment and resources. The transformative role that technology will play in healthcare is not limited to EHRs alone. Dr. Safavi will discuss the role technology plays in all three connections and the reasons why executive strategic attention must consider the role of technology in making all three types of connections. ** To download Dr.Kaveh Safavi's presentation, click here **

Glenn will provide an overview of that project, the principles guiding its development and the unique attributes of WWLHIN that are enabling these advancements in individual-centred healthcare. ** To download Dr. Glenn Holder's presentation, click here **

Converting paper documents to electronic format is fundamental to the successful development and management of an electronic health record system. Like many eHealth issues, it sounds simpler in theory than it turns out to be in practice. This panel will discuss some of the challenges, possible solutions and success stories.
Panellists:
Jacques Lirette, Health Industry Consultant, Lexmark Global Services
Yoel Robens-Paradise, Director, Health Records Services, Providence Health Care

2:45 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Session 6: Addressing Global Patient Safety and Quality:
The Role of EHR in the Hands of the Patient
Due to advances in information technology and a growing social demand for changes in healthcare delivery, a major shift will soon take place in the way healthcare organizations operate. Patients are demanding data and safety, while governments are demanding greater cost-efficiencies. Healthcare organizations must change the way they deliver care, report on quality and patient safety, and assist in improving healthcare outcomes. In this presentation, Dr. Graham will describe the trends that are setting the stage for this transformation to occur, based on her experience as a family physician and knowledge gained at numerous international conferences. ** To download Dr. Wendy Graham's presentation, click here **

8:45 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Session 7: Empowering the Health System:
A New Information Paradigm
Providing patients with timely access to their personal health information is a basic building block towards empowerment and self-management for those with chronic conditions. At the same time, social networking is becoming an important conduit for the dissemination of health information as healthcare professionals interact with patients on-line. This presentation will present two approaches for providing patients with personal information and support and evaluate their impact on the patient experience. ** To download Dr. David Wiljer's presentation, click here **

9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Session 8: Panel Discussion: Patient-Managed Health Records
As the dynamic of health information moves toward patient-centred approaches, the personal health record (PHR) is emerging as an alternative or adjunct to the electronic health record (EHR). This raises questions about the level of trust that will be accorded by physicians and other caregivers to PHR data that has been entered by the patient or unknown care providers, as well as questions about the extent to which healthcare organizations should share their data with patient-managed records. This panel will discuss these questions from the physician and hospital viewpoints.

Panellists:
Marc Bouchard, Director, ICT, Sault Area Hospital
Dr. Wendy Graham, Physician, Blue Sky Family Health Team

10:45 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Session 9: Data Mining: Secondary Uses of Health Information
With the increased adoption of electronic medical records, vast amounts of electronic health information are being collected. This data provides many opportunities for data mining and other secondary types of analyses useful for public health surveillance, improving the healthcare system and research. However, at the same time, effective use of health information for secondary purposes needs to face the realities of data quality and appropriate governance structures to ensure long-term viability. This presentation will delve into those issues and provide models of how they can be addressed. ** To download Dr. Khaled El Emam's presentation, click here **
