Healthcare Infrastructure Showcase: Digital & Patient Experience

Join us for a powerful keynote that unveils how Oracle Health Data Intelligence is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling organizations to unlock the true potential of their data. This session will demonstrate the transformative impact of connecting and unifying data across the entire healthcare ecosystem, driving enhanced patient care, optimized operations, and strategic growth.

 Key Takeaways:

Unified Data Ecosystem: Discover the critical role of integrating diverse data sources—ranging from clinical records and billing information to social determinants of health—in creating a holistic view of patients and healthcare organizations.

Advancing Care Coordination and Risk Management: Explore cutting-edge technologies that promote seamless care coordination and effective risk management, fostering collaboration among healthcare providers for improved patient outcomes.

Operational and Financial Empowerment: Learn how comprehensive data analysis can unlock opportunities for operational excellence, cost savings, and strategic growth, empowering healthcare organizations to achieve performance goals and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, Canadian healthcare is increasingly under threat from sophisticated cyberattacks. As the industry adopts more digital solutions, the need for robust and adaptive security frameworks becomes critical.

Our healthcare technology landscape is governed by a complex structure of both centralized and decentralized policies and decision making. When it comes to increasing cybersecurity for everyone, we require an approach that is capable of improving our security posture without conflicting with the individual technology decisions of any constituent organization.

The complex and hybrid nature of Canadian healthcare requires an adaptive and composable approach to cybersecurity. One that does not require changes to existing technology strategies. One that works regardless of where applications, data, clinicians and patients are located, and one that is built to adapt as technology evolves.

This presentation explores how the Canadian healthcare community can take advantage of cybersecurity strategies based on protecting your organization at the scale of the Internet itself. Attendees will gain insights into actionable steps that can be applied to their own organizations, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in cybersecurity.

In this keynote, we will explore how healthcare IT leaders can control costs, enhance security, and boost productivity through advanced solutions such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). We’ll discuss current best practices and how they enable healthcare organizations to streamline IT operations, reduce complexity, and safeguard sensitive data, all while staying within tight budget constraints. Real-world case studies and insights will illustrate how these solutions transform IT infrastructure, preparing your systems for future demands while maintaining high standards of patient care.
