Aventura Sponsors the 2012 CIO and Clinical Informatics Summit for the West Coast Soarian Users Group
SUMMIT PROVOKES THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AROUND IMPROVED QUALITY CARE IN HOSPITALS
Aventura will gather with hospital executives on Wednesday, May 16 at the West Coast Soarian Users Group Meeting at the Hotel Monaco in Denver, CO. The summit provides an opportunity for healthcare IT leaders to visualize capitalizing on advancements and collaborate upon the common challenges of peers.

Chaiken, MD, MPH, FHIMSS, former board chair of Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), will discuss how rapid healthcare information technology implementations meet resistance because they fail to consider a critical element: mapping to the actual flow of work the technology supports in his talk Secret Sauce: Leveraging Workflow to Drive Adoption.
In a separate session with nurse informaticists, Dr. Chaiken will discuss how to avoid the danger technology can present to patients when it is implemented improperly in his session Using Intelligent Workflow to Enhance Quality and Safety.
