Sometimes, one plus one equals more than just two. Strategic Interests, recognizing an opportunity for two organizations committed to excellence to collaborate and make each other stronger, has helped in the guidance and facilitation of a new community health care partnership in the Rochester area. After many months of planning, this week we were pleased to see the announcement that the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Rochester (JCC) and Rochester Regional Health (RRH) have publicly announced their partnership. This cooperative effort will offer the cutting edge programs and on-site health care services at the JCC provided by RRH staff.
There will be an on-site registered nurse (RN) who will provide health screenings, care navigation, referrals, and wellness workshops. In the future phases of this partnership, members will also see specialty services offered at the JCC location.
Strategic Interests was integral in providing advisory services, creative thinking, relationships, and the strategic planning to help these two organizations achieve a strong and meaningful partnership. We are proud of our involvement in this impactful initiative and are optimistic as to the future growth of this important community program.
Partners from Strategic Interests attended the annual Strategic Health Information Exchange Collaboration (SHIEC) conference in the Washington, DC area this month. This meeting brings together over 70 Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and other interested organizations from across the country. We were able to participate in discussions, offer advice, and make some terrific connections with other interoperability experts.
Join Strategic Interests at the third annual Healthcare Innovations Conference hosted by Pandion Optimization Alliance. This full-day educational event will be held on November 13, 2019 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. Last year, more than 200 healthcare administrators, clinicians, and business owners attended the conference, representing more than 70 organizations across New York. Anyone interested in the future of healthcare is welcome to attend.
Pandion has secured an award-winning speaker: Emmanuel Fombu, MD, MBA. Dr. Fombu is a physician, author, speaker, and healthcare executive turned Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He is the author of the book, “The Future of Healthcare: Human and Machines Partnering for Better Outcomes.”
Attendees will also be able to choose from six different educational tracks:
Consumer, Patient Engagement, and Digitally Connected Health
The level of complexity and number of data sources required for healthcare organizations to support decision-making is rapidly increasing. This necessitates having strong business intelligence and analytics strategies for both clinical and business objectives. Proper data governance ensures data quality and empowers the generation of actionable insights to reduce costs, increase revenue, and improve patient safety. The abundance of data, too great for human processing, can be leveraged in novel ways using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Join Strategic interests Partner and TechRochester Board Member Brett Kinsler and HIMSS as we learn from three expert panels:
How analytics impacts the business of healthcare
Clinical applications of artificial intelligence and analytics
Healthcare data governance fundamentals to facilitate analytics
Strategic Interests has been a longtime supporter and collaborator with innovative technology companies from within and outside of the United States. We are proud to be a sponsor of the CDI-SHEBA Digital Health Conference which will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel June 24-26, 2019. This conference brings together Israeli and US thought-leaders from across the digital health ecosystem to connect, network and learn about the most innovative platforms and integrated solutions currently addressing our common challenges. Over the course of three days, participants will take part in hands-on workshops, panel discussions, 1:1 business development meetings and a Startups Challenge Contest.

Clinical informaticists (CIs) make key decisions during the electronic health record implementation and maintenance process that can affect the safety of patients and efficacy of providers. CIs bridge the gap between the practitioners and developers, builders and programmers. They use their knowledge about key workflows, the language to support key tools, and how to manage the health of a patient population through reports.
Epic Software, one of the largest hospital EHR companies, recently implemented a Clinical Informatics certification program in conjunction with University of Wisconsin – Madison. The purpose of this training is to provide knowledge of the integrated clinical health system, key functionality commonly used by clinicians, processes and terminology of building a variety of integrated Epic tools, and areas that drive reporting.
Strategic Interests is proud to announce that our Director of Clinical Services, Brett Kinsler, has joined only about 20 clinicians worldwide who have become Epic Certified Clinical Informaticists.
“Healthcare technology consultants are often positioned between the clinical people who are practicing healthcare and the folks who are responsible for changing software, implementing analytical tools, and maintaining workflows,” Kinsler said. “This certification will position SI to better help our existing clients who use Epic in their hospitals and health systems and hopefully will attract others who use Epic and want our help embarking on new projects.”
Why your organization might want to bring a clinical informatics consultant to the team? You want:
Ways to increase clinician satisfaction using technology
To improve clinical workflows to improve outcomes and patient safety
Smoother on boarding of new practitioners
Ease the connection between IT and operations
Whether you use Epic or another EHR, Strategic Interests can help you achieve your efficiency, effectiveness, and financial goals in healthcare.
