Friday, June 13, 2008 - Track One
Track One: The Role of Ix in Enabling the Patient-Centered Medical Home
Chair: Rushika Fernandopulle, MD, MPP, Co-Founder, Renaissance Health
A patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has the potential to encourage a much more comprehensive approach to primary care delivery. If implemented successfully, the PCMH model can ensure access to high-quality, coordinated, and integrated care.
Successful implementation requires focus on effective communication with, and engagement of, the patient. Specific Ix and patient-centered HIT initiatives have been designed specifically to create more continuity and integration of care, and to engage consumers as active partners in care management. Faculty from a wide range of practice settings will share in-depth examples from their PCMH-Ix implementation experiences.
The objectives of the PCMH Track will be to:
Define PCMH and explain the role that proactive engagement of patients in primary care management through tailored information has in PCMH success.
Provide in-depth examples of how PCMH has been implemented through patient-centered HIT strategies in different types of practices settings.
Discuss the role of payment structures and measurement in advancing PCMH evolution that ensures future primary care has a true patient-centered orientation.

Friday, June 13, 2008 - Track Two
Track Two: Ix & Health Disparities
Chair: Warren Jones, MD, FAAFP, Executive Director, Mississippi Institute for the Improvement of Geographical Minority Health
Health literacy, numeracy, the "digital divide," and other health disparities create special challenges in designing Ix and patient-centered HIT initiatives. Conversely, Ix and patient-centered HIT create unique opportunities for addressing health disparities. This track will address both the barriers and the promising new interventions that have been developed to narrow the disparities and improve health for safety-net populations
Innovative patient-centered HIT applications employ audio, video, graphics, plain language, and mobile phones. They leverage access to digital media through community public resources. Faculty will share research and experiences working directly with safety-net populations to implement solutions that meet the needs of their particular constituencies.
