Enabling Value Based Care
Delivering on the promise of value-based care is driving change in the Health Care ecosystem today. To digitally transform, a plan should be strategic. There are different approaches depending on your organization's priorities. To achieve expected business outcomes for successful digital transformation efforts, a plan must be more than a technology selection. Its more than just re-platforming legacy models and their existing enterprise architectures. Many health delivery organizations (HDO) of all sizes are examining the cost and complexities of their enterprise architectures (EA) and assessing how their respective technologies best partner and support the strategic initiatives. The current pandemic has underscored the importance to reconfigure for a hybrid cloud future.- How persona driven architecture can reduce operational burden
- How to approach the API driven healthcare landscape
- How to extend and modernize existing legacy service architectures
- How iPaaS can enable agility within an organization
- How to address increasing complexity in a rapidly changing market

Fireside Chat
Creating a Culture of Cybersecurity Awareness
85% of the 5,000+ breaches included in the 2021 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report involved a human element. We regularly make great investments in security tooling and technology, yet our employees are still clicking on phishing links and using weak passwords. Bringing the human aspects of cybersecurity to the top of the agenda is long overdue. This fireside will discuss new and existing means to build a mature Human Risk Management program. It's time to flip the script; turn your 'weakest link' into your strongest control.
Takeaways from the discussion:
- How to identify your Human Risks.
- Tailor your cybersecurity training and awareness; one size does not fit all.
- Everyone is hackable.

Pushing Cyber Resilience in 2021 and Beyond
As we ready ourselves to move forward from an office and IT Security model that required a remote workforce, remote access for employees and vendors and increased availability of PII and PHI outside of the typical '4 walls' of a secured enterprise, we now must create a cyber model for the road ahead. In this session you will learn of the top cyber threats that have been prevalent in the 2021, the challenges you will face in securing a 'digitally transformed' landscape, and the way we can prioritize and remediate the top risks facing our organizations

Trusting Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: An Introduction to Machine Learning Operations (MLOps)
Advances in AI have provided transformational value across all industries within the last decade. With more models now being built than ever to power mission critical business systems, how do we make sure that our models are working properly, especially in high-stake use cases? Further, in an ever changing world, how do we trust that our models are constantly adapting, and providing us with the right decisions?
MLOps is a rapidly emerging practice that seeks to address the above questions. This talk will provide an introduction to the key considerations required to manage your model's life-cycle once it has been deployed, as well as best practices for governance and model monitoring.

Customer Experience - Enriched By Technology
The concept of customer experience has been evolving over the years. At a time when clients have more choices and the ability to turn to a rival, combined with increased costs for companies to win new clients, companies have begun paying much more attention to keep existing customers happy. Technology is playing an increasing role in creating positive experiences and thereby not only keeping customers happy, but also to turn them into promoters of your brand.Presented by:
