Standard Register Bringing Focus to Patient-Centered Communication Strategies at Atlanta Healthcare IT Summit
18 Abril 2012 - 12:26PM
Business Wire
Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leader in managing critical
communications across the continuum of care, is presenting a
special session on Patient-Centered Communications at the iHT2
Health IT Summit, which will be held April 24-25 at the Historic
Academy of Medicine at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA.
The invitation-only event, which will host more than 200 C-level
executives from hospitals, health systems and larger physician
practices from around the region, will focus on "Health IT in
Practice: Strategies for a Next Generation Healthcare System."
The Standard Register breakout session will feature Aaron Fink,
MD, professor emeritus of surgery at Emory University School of
Medicine and attending surgeon at the VA Medical Center in Atlanta,
and Tim Kelly, vice president of Dialog Medical, a Standard
Register company and innovative software developer that is
transforming informed consent and patient education processes with
its iMedConsent™ application.
The two will present four strategies for leveraging existing
health information technology to help make patients better partners
in their care. They will cite specific examples of how
pre-procedural instructions, consent documents, a National Quality
Forum-endorsed teach-back practice and proper discharge
instructions are being used to improve outcomes and lower the rate
of preventable readmissions.
A governor in the American College of Surgeons who has
previously served on the National Surgical Quality Improvement
Program (NSQIP) National Executive Committee, Dr. Fink was the
co-principal investigator of the VA Health Services Research and
Development-sponsored, multi-site study investigating the potential
benefits of “teach-back” within a computerized informed consent
program. Insights from that research will be shared in the
presentation.
“As the healthcare industry moves toward a value-based model of
accountable care, and providers intensify efforts to improve
outcomes and reduce readmissions, effective patient and family
engagement is essential,” said Brad Cates, president of Standard
Register Healthcare. “Through this program, we hope to provide
summit participants with evidence-based approaches that can be
followed to bring about a measurable improvement in patient
outcomes.”
