HIMSS 14 Showcase Lessons Learned:

Settings:

Were appropriate to the devices and systems

Sidewalls worked and were well integrated in the clinical story begun on the build out wall

Graphics – no comments during call; comment received earlier was positive with exception to the ED build out wall considered a bit too busy

Conflicting placement – no comments received

Clinical Stories:

Were relevant to the devices and systems

Appropriate detail

Appropriate length

Appropriate reference to the benefits of IHE interoperability

Speakers:

One or several – several worked well – but need wireless microphones because of difficulty with wire

New Directions

Traffic – more walk-in traffic, possibly not more on tours

Patients on the floor – very helpful, generated traffic in New Directions

New Directions next year – attempt to find common messages among the various tours - consider ways to coordinate tours of multiple vignettes within the same space next year

The DMC, LS had walk ins, but not extremely busy

Next Year – what might PCD have? It’s too early to discuss.

Props

Worthwhile (e.g., pump adjacent to chemo chair)

Showcase Overall

We will need to find ways to accommodate growth in number of systems

Integrating DMC, LS with clinical scenarios next year

Questions: Number of visitors? Tours?

AAMI: Will meet next Tuesday to prepare.

Next Connectathon and Showcase Meeting after HIMMS will cover lessons learned.

Next Meetings: AAMI.

Adjourned 2:30 EST.
