The speed in which data reaches organizations, the variety of their form and the insights they contain are completely changing the collection, analysis and management of data. These changes represent “Big Data,” an era in which the sheer volume of data can reveal insightful truths about the way the world works, how disease is spread, how financial crises can be avoided and even
how businesses can better compete.
In this keynote session, Dr. David Avrin will share how Big Data will further impact health care delivery:
Topics to be discussed will include:
• How Big Data can access thousands of medical records quickly
• Acquiring medical data and ways doctors must comply with regulations and stringent safeguards
• Too much data and too few resources to manage them
• Accessing how to have the right resources to effectively manage data
• Not being able to get the data to the correct recipient quickly enough
• How and why sorting data properly before it enters your databases can optimize compression

In order to successfully implement a centralized database, several issues need to be addressed for the full potential of Big Data to be realized. This panel of doctors will share their experiences and best practices to implement a safe, secure and compliant centralized database.
A fairly represented panel of doctors who have used the product and have experience with regards to bypassing, or dealing with HIPAA and by-laws, will discuss the solutions of a centralized database. This session will show attendees:
• How to manage and organize imagery
• Getting beyond the privacy laws and regulations of HIPAA
• Compliance with HIPAA Policy
• Taking care of patients by protecting their identification and giving them an identity

In radiology, steadily advancing technology improves medical diagnoses and treatments. With data imaging going from film to digital, healthcare professionals can receive images wherever there is an Internet connection, with a turnaround time of less than one hour. In this session you will learn about:
• A detailed overview of how big data has made a beneficial impact
• Transitioning requirements and the key to the future of success in radiology
• Requirements for transitioning, as speed of file transfers must be almost instantaneous and reliable

Creating a technologically-advanced, comprehensive radiological diagnostic system will positively impact future patient outcomes. Cloud Computing (cloud technology) provides a dynamically scalable and virtualized resource to provide common business applications online which can be accessed by multiple users and allow for the interpretation of exams in real time no matter where you are.
In this session you will learn:
• How medical records can be centralized
• How benefits healthcare overall as information is centralized and
accessible online
• Why Cloud Technology is great for a region for access and storage, but not for ‘Cloud-to-Cloud’ communication.

There is tremendous potential for the path to Cloud Computing, such as tips, tricks and techniques for organizations to consider with Cloud Computing. In this session, you will learn:
• Discuss the challenges and solutions of Big Data
• A ‘walk through’ of the area of Big Data: security, store & process, sensemaking and stewardship
• Discuss the technology, process and people actions a company
should consider
• How the NRO successfully migrated to Cloud Computing

One of the main benefits of big data is better control smarter decision making. This session provides an overview of the value big data can provide to healthcare organizations, doctors and patients.
• Save money by not having to subject patients to unnecessary exams
• Prevent ‘doctor shopping’ and cut down on fraud
• Analyze data in real time to make smarter and timely choices
• Save time with a ‘centralized database’, saving an average of 1.5 to 2 years, per doctors career
