As healthcare organizations develop new programs that blend in-person and virtual care, they’re gaining new insights into the challenges of creating value-based care. Today’s healthcare environment is about health just as much as care, developing services and pathways that address immediate clinical needs while creating strategies that support long-term health outcomes. In this landscape, the emphasis is on connections and collaboration.

Our annual two-day virtual summit will explore some of the newest strategies for connecting people to their care providers and the technology enabling connectivity to occur and be integrated more fully into the overall care experience. We’ll talk about payer support for connected health programs and the future of innovation in the space. And we’ll take a look at some of the more innovative programs on the market, from hospitals and health systems down to clinics and small practices.

Parks Associates’ Connected Health Summit is an executive conference focused on the impact of connected devices and IoT healthcare solutions on consumers at home. Connected Health Summit provides insights on consumer behaviors and changing demands driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and new business models, IoT technologies, and deployments emerging to target these new needs. The conference addresses opportunities for new solutions, including smart home platforms, on-demand services, voice assistants, and wearables, to empower consumers, caregivers, and providers with new insight into patient health and to meet the growing demand for services in independent living, chronic care management, remote access to care, and wellness and fitness.

Patients arrive at hospitals every day through different paths. Some through the emergency department, some through physician referrals, and some through scheduled procedures. What makes all of these situations similar is the fact that critically ill patients need access to care at the right place and the right time. At the same time, there are challenges when it comes to creating a culture of access. Health systems face growing capacity challenges and patient experience suffers when access is limited, or delays occur between transitions in care. Barriers include organizational silos, lack of continuity across care settings, and a lack of real-time operational visibility. For example, if someone needs acute, immediate care they would typically enter a health system through the ED or via a referral/transfer from another physician or facility, otherwise known as a direct admit. However, sometimes a direct admit isn’t that direct. Sometimes it ends up being fragmented, inefficient and time-consuming. And in some cases, it may take so long that the referring physician sends a patient to a competing health system. The result of these delays is lost revenue, a negative impact to a health system’s reputation, and a weakening of community physician ties. Another unfortunate scenario that can unfold when a health system can’t accommodate a direct admit is that patients may end up getting sent to the emergency room instead. That results in overcrowding and increases in left-without-being-seen.

At this conference you will learn about how command centers utilize advanced predictive analytic technology and artificial intelligence to monitor and target real-time data on incoming patients, patient discharges, bed availability, and other hospital logistics. While hospital command centers are progressively growing in use among medical centers across the globe, learn how different hospitals utilize their own facilities to address their unique needs and issues.

On behalf of the Scientific Program Planning Committee and PDA, we are proud to present the second edition of the 2022 PDA Medical Devices and Connected Health Conference and warmly welcome you to Dublin/Ireland. Connected Health solutions involving data platforms, connectivity, software, and sensors for health have the potential to ensure better individual patient care through the provision of more effective treatments, while at the same time reducing efforts for healthcare professionals to improve efficiency in healthcare systems. Effective and efficient means that digital health is also confronted with the variety and complexity of the medical device and pharmaceutical regulatory scheme, the insurance/reimbursement setup as well as the management of data security and information misuse.  Although success has been demonstrated in many areas, there are also challenges in showing effectiveness, especially at scale in real-world situations with the evidence that meets stringent demands of the various healthcare stakeholders and which also aligns cost with benefit.

What kinds of opportunities and threats are associated with digital healthcare from the industry as well as from the regulators’ point of view? Which experiences and learnings are emerging from previous work and particularly from the recent pandemic situation? And finally – which options exist for digital solutions to leave a positive impact on healthcare, while reducing its environmental footprint?

We are convinced that an open dialogue and experience exchange between all parties involved is the most appropriate way to “unleash the power” of medical devices and connected health. We have received excellent speaker abstracts and believe that we have put together an engaging conference program that focuses on these issues and will provide an ideal environment for an interactive discussion around the opportunities and challenges offered by connected health solutions.

BioT Medical & Orthogonal partner to provide expert opinion and discuss the new frontiers of medical device connectivity in an exclusive webinar powered by MedTech Intelligence.

Connectivity of medical devices to the cloud is becoming a reality and poses many challenges for device manufacturers. In this webinar we shall discuss how device manufacturers can address the connectivity challenge and turn it into an opportunity by going beyond connectivity to create direct-to-consumer personalized connected care solutions that directly impact the perceived reported outcome of the treatment. We shall address considerations around building such a connected care solution and how to achieve it in a short timeframe.

This webinar will highlight:

• Key elements of a connected care system.
• Considerations around building a connected care solution.
• Reducing costs and time to build using a no-code approach.
• Creating personalized patient experiences using out-of-the-box tools.

Teladoc Health and Microsoft are collaborating to simplify the way healthcare organizations and clinicians work by streamlining the technology and administrative processes associated with providing care. Enabling clinicians to practice at the top of their license by freeing them from administrative tasks benefits patients, providers and the healthcare system overall. In this fireside chat, Dr. Shayan Vyas, VP and Medical Director, Teladoc Health and Molly K. McCarthy, US National Director, Health Providers and Plans, Microsoft, will discuss current challenges facing providers due to disparate, non-purpose built solutions and how a modern, unified platform elevates and extends clinical collaboration by helping organizations simplify workflows thereby improving the care experience.

Learning Objectives:

• How disparate systems impact care team communication and collaboration, care delivery from hospital to home, and provider productivity.
• The role of innovative approaches to drive interoperability, simplify clinical workflows and deliver an improved patient experience and level of care from hospital to home.
• Gain insights into a modern, unified health care delivery model and how it enables an improved connected care experience, irrespective of care setting, at the right time for each patient.
