Chicago, August 2017 — Al Kinel discussing care transition IT strategy at Allscripts Population Health University
As part of the Allscripts Population Health University held August 8 – 10, 2017 at Chicago’s McCormick Center, Strategic Interests president, Al Kinel, led a presentation explaining the improvement of care transitions using information technology. As seasoned implementation agents for Allscripts dbMotion product, SI understands first hand how the timely exchange of pertinent information positively impacts transitions of care from clinical, technical and strategic angles.
Kinel was joined by two SI clients who discussed their experience with interoperability and transitions of care: Erik Jacob, Manager of IT Interoperability at Rochester Regional Health, discussed the projects in Rochester from the Community Diabetes Collaborative through the merger of multiple hospitals and practices. Brian Henderson, Director of Physician IT Services at Sarasota Memorial Hospital presented the project connecting ambulatory community providers to the hospital’s health information exchange, SMHxchange. Finishing the talk, Strategic Interest’s Director of Clinical Services, Brett Kinsler, DC presented the methodology used to identify gaps and prioritize data elements to be exchanged to facilitate a Medicaid DSRIP program.
Chicago, August 2017 — Erik Jacob presented Rochester Regional Health’s interoperability process
Overall, the team defined the value of Health Information Exchange (HIE) with specific use case examples and described how innovative solutions can impact organizations and practices, increase care quality, decrease duplication of services, prevent unnecessary readmissions, and enable innovative payment models while attaining strategic objectives and enhancing partnerships among hospitals, LTPACs and community providers.
We appreciate being invited by Allscripts to present a topic we are so passionate about and are grateful to our client partners from RRH and SMH for bringing real life examples and experience to the discussion.

Much of the SI team will attend the Digital Rochester Transitions of Care program as president, Al Kinel, moderates a panel of community leaders. Discussions will center on improvement of handoffs between providers and organizations caring for patients.
Digital Rochester and speakers from the Rochester RHIO, Monroe County Medical Society, Rochester Regional Health, FLPPS, and Lifetime Care discuss the types of care transitions occurring in our region, the current challenges, and the types of technologies, analytics, and data exchange we’re using, or will be using, to better facilitate the transitions. The panel shares how their organizations are measuring and preventing re-admissions to the hospital through innovative programs, technological tools, and enhanced communication and collaboration. The types of care transitions the panel will be analyzing are:
