Event Name:
Electronic Medical Record/Electronic Health Record: A 2012 Update
Hosting Organization:
Chinese American Medical Association of Southern California
Location:
Empress Harbor Seafood Restaurant
Montery Park, CA
Brief Description
2012 is the year Medicare participants will need to start using EMR/EHR in order to receive full incentive payment from CMS (the HITECH Act). In addition to HITECH, several new programs will also have direct impact on EMR adoption. These include ACO, Medi-Cal HMO conversion, and private health plan Pay for Performance programs.
However, EMR adoption rate is still very low (~33% in 2011, it is likely much lower among solo and small group practices). Physicians often do not fully understand the regulations under the HITECH Act and options available to them. They also do not have the expertise to properly select a system. In some situations, physicians may use EMR merely to meet the administrative requirements and not use it to enhance patient care.
After attending the presentation, physicians should:
- Be refreshed on HITECH incentive rules and regulations
- Understand the role of EMR in ACO, Medi-Cal conversion, Pay for Performance etc.
- Be able to determine if/when to implement EMR for their practice
- Be able to objectively evaluate hardware/software for their practice
- Be able to re-engineer office procedures based on EMR to enhance patient care
- Be able to take advantage of common EMR features to enhance clinical decision-making

The 16th Conference on Health Care of the Chinese in North America
Hosted by:
Chinese American Medical Society
Federation of Chinese American and Chinese Canadian Medical Societies
Date:
November 10 - 11, 2012 (Saturday/Sunday)
Location:
Bank of America Conference Center
4 World Financial Center, 250 Vesey Street, New York NY 10080
Program Overview:
Scientific knowledge about the health care needs and disparities of the Chinese in North America is rapidly increasing. This conference will feature disparities as a key organizing concept in thinking about health care issues for North American Chinese on both clinical and scientific levels, with the goal of healthy Chinese Canadians and Chinese Americans.
Course Description:
The program will include presentations on new developments in a wide variety of fields relevant to Chinese, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, palliative medicine, pharmacogenomics, and mental health. In response to popular demand, there will be a series of lectures on research opportunities, and practice seminars. This conference will allow practitioners and researchers to come together to consider ways to improve health care for North American Chinese. A variety of formats, including live lectures, panel discussion, and interactive techniques such as workshops and small group discussions, will be used with followup evaluation to accomplish the conference objectives.
Keynote Speaker:
We are honored to have Dr. Kenneth Chu as key note speaker. Dr. Chu was the first chief of the Disparities Research Branch, National Cancer Institute's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD). He pioneered some of the first real medical research on disparities in the underserved, paved the way for Asian Americans to conduct disparities research, and laid the foundations for cancer health disparities research.
Conference Objectives:
- To review evidence for disparities in disease risk factors, prevalence, and outcomes for Chinese in North America
- To discuss the practice implications of disparities for health care delivery and management of disease by health care providers.
- To discuss research concepts, questions, controversies, and future directions in selected health issues that face the North American Chinese community.
- To identify common ground between researchers and practitioners in different fields to allow for cross fertilization of ideas, exchange of information, and development of a more cohesive community.
Target Audience:
Physicians, health care professionals, and researchers who are interested in health care problems of the Chinese in North America
CME Credit Designation:
Eight AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM will be applied for; the number of credits is subject to change.
