When: September 17–19, 2008
Where: Magnificent Mile, Chicago, IL Featuring: Speaker Abigail Suberman NAMA's First National Symposium is a three-day strategic business forum, focusing on how hospitals and health systems can use design and technology to create the OR of tomorrow. Attendees will learn how to develop state of the art operating suites using the latest advancements in minimally invasive surgery, robotics, computer integrated surgical systems and wireless technologies. The event will encompass the planning, design, funding and implementation of these technologies. Feature: The Wall of Knowledge Speaker: Abigail Suberman, Director, Technology Strategy, NewYork-Presybterian Hospital Abigail Suberman will present on NewYork-Presbyterian's “Wall of Knowledge" pilot program. The Wall of Knowledge is a real-time data integration and display system installed in two operating rooms at Columbia University Medical Center and in two at Weill Cornell Medical Center. The Wall of Knowledge harnesses available information resources and delivers a continuously updated view of all essential data on the patient and operation, including real-time physiologic readings, on an “OR dashboard”; while adjacent monitors display surgical images, PACS, pathology reports, and other images and data. Other NAMA presentations will address such topics as: New Technologies in the Advanced SurgicalSuite (Robotics, Computer Integrated Surgical Systems, Wireless Technologies, Etc.) Operating Room Design How to Improve Financial Outcomes How Technology Can Advance Your Surgical Services, Improve Results and Enhance Operational Efficiency Planning and Funding Your Expansion Case Studies: Featuring health systems that have recently completed, or are in the process of completing, multi–million dollar operating room expansions. Presenters will discuss the problems that arose/how they solved them, as well as discussing the process as a whole.
