| Wednesday, March 25, 2015 | | 8:00 - 8:15 am | Welcome and Event Overview | | Kenneth S. Rubin, Chief Architect, Federal Healthcare Portfolio, HP Enterprise and Healthcare Domain Task Force Chair, OMG | | | | 8:15 - 8:30 | Introduction | | Dr. Richard Mark Soley, CEO, Object Management Group | | | | 8:30 - 9:30 am | Keynote: Systems Thinking and Medical Devices | | Dr. Julian Goldman, Physician, MGH and Medical Director, Partners Biomedical Engineering | | Abstract: Medical devices are where the rubber meets the road - where systems theories actually touch the patients. To build a more efficient healthcare system, there's an urgent need to consider all components of care - technical, management, and socio-political - from a systems-thinking perspective. If more devices could communicate with each other, hospital staff could avoid injuries and deaths that occur each year. Dr. Goldman and his team at Partners HealthCare are developing new life-saving technology to enable this - smarter, safer devices that can exchange information seamlessly across networks. He will discuss some of the specific technological solutions in his presentation, as well as ways to address the managerial and socio-political challenges in implementation. | | 9:30 - 10:00 am | Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) Report Presentation | | Chris Unger, Chief Systems Engineer, GE Healthcare View PDF | | Abstract: In May 2014 the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a report to the president titled "Better Health Care and Lower Costs: Accelerating Improvement Through Systems Engineering." They defined systems engineering as "an interdisciplinary approach to analyze, design, manage and measure complex systems with efforts to improve its efficiency, productivity, quality, safety and other factors." The report made seven specific recommendations (with several sub-elements) ranging from improving the incentives, to data infrastructure, to building the systems engineering competencies in healthcare. This presentation will summarize the key recommendations and discuss what the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is doing to respond to the challenge. We will summarize the results of a recent workshop in Los Angeles and will open the floor for suggestions and discussion. | | 10:00 - 10:15 am | Break | | 10:15 - 11:00 am | Applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) | Dr. Matthew Paden, Associate Professor of Pediatric Critical Care, Emory University, Director of Pediatric/Adult ECMO and Advanced Technologies, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
L. Drew Pihera, Research Scientist, Head of System Engineering Software Applications, Georgia Tech Research Institute
View PDF View Video | Abstract: Georgia Institute of Technology's Professional Master's in Applied Systems Engineering (PMASE) program has collaborated with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) since 2011 to apply systems engineering concepts and techniques to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). This presentation will begin with a brief overview of ECMO and some of the work done by students in previous years, and then focus primarily on the work performed by the most recent cohort of students in the program.
The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) is a guiding organization for ECMO at the national level. However, because ECMO is a therapy and not an FDA approved device, it is implemented differently from location to location in accordance with a given provider's best practices and medical staff knowledge. The 2014 PMASE cohort's work being discussed includes specific approaches and tools used by the students to develop recommendations to standardize ECMO procedures in an effort to bring commonality to training and delivery of the therapy across various centers. | | 11:15 am - 12:15 pm | Biomedical Device Panel: Model Based Engineering Throughout the Lifecycle…Harvesting the Benefits | Moderator: Chris Unger, Chief Systems Engineer, GE Healthcare

Panelists: Bruce Powel Douglass, Ph.D., Chief Evangelist, IBM Rational
Alan Ravitz, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
Paul Jones, Senior Systems/Software Engineer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, OSEL
Yi Zhang, Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), U.S. Food and Drug Administration
View PDF | | This panel will explore the benefits of applying Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to the development and usage of Medical Devices in a broader system of systems context. Specifically, panelists will discuss if and how modelling improves communication both within teams and with other stakeholders. A practical focus on what worked and what did not work will be emphasized as well as whether the process was an aid in producing required certification/regulatory documentation. | | 12:15 - 1:30 pm | Lunch | | 1:30 - 2:15 pm | Business Led IT | Dr. Paul Tibbits, Deputy Chief Information Officer for Architecture, Strategy, and Design, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
View PDF View Video | | Abstract: Dr. Tibbits is an experienced executive in change management, organizational development, global health IT systems, planning, problem-solving, metrics, outsourcing, contracts, finance, employee effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. Dr. Tibbits served in DoD as Director of the Business Management and Modernization Program and Transformation Support Office until September 2005, then served as Deputy Director of Military Health System Office of Transformation, representing Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs). While at VA, Dr. Tibbits led the Transformation-21 Work Group to set in place the IT organization, processes, projects, and knowledge management tools necessary to prepare VA to operate in the 21st century. | | 2:15 - 3:00 pm | A Case Study in Large Scale MBSE in Healthcare: The UiEHR | Philip H. Newcomb, Founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, CEO, TSRI
View PDF | | Abstract: The VistA family of electronic healthcare records (EHR) systems is widely deployed and highly regarded, but suffers from issues of legacy maintenance, reliability in data sharing, and streamlined integration. We will present our work in modernizing the various VistA variants into the Unified integrated Electronic Health Records (UiEHR) system, a conversion from the legacy Mumps to a running Java system using fully automated MBSE approaches. | | 3:00 - 3:15 pm | Break | | 3:15 - 4:15 pm | Panel Discussion - System Level Challenges in Healthcare IT | Moderator: Dr. Bill Curtis, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist of CAST Software, Inc., Director, Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ)
Dr. Paul Tibbits, Deputy Chief Information Officer for Architecture, Strategy, and Design, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Tracy Rausch, CTO and Founder, DocBox
Mina Hsiang, US Digital Service in the White House and Senior Advisor to the US CTO on Health Data.
Thomas Beale, CTO, Ocean Informatics | | The challenges in Healthcare.gov went far beyond the online performance problems the public experienced in 2013. The challenge of this and similar healthcare systems face are integrating existing applications into a system of systems, many of which are legacy holdovers in need of modernization. This panel will discuss best practices for modeling IT systems, as well as their modernization and integration. They will also discuss the acquisition challenges of integrating systems or system components built by different contractors. | | 4:15 - 5:15 pm | Open Discussion - Where Do We Go From Here? | | Moderators: Chris Unger, Chief Systems Engineer, GE Healthcare and Dr. Bill Curtis, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist of CAST Software, Inc., Director, Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ) | | A facilitated discussion to capture action plan points for both Medical Devices and Healthcare IT; and potential synergies with related meetings, groups and initiatives. | | 5:15 - 5:30 pm | Wrap Up | | Ken Rubin, Chief Architect, Federal Health Portfolio, HP Enterprise and Healthcare Domain Task Force Chair, OMG | | | | 6:00 - 8:00 pm | Networking - OMG Evening Reception | | | | NOTE: If you register for the Technical Meeting Week, you do not have to pay the additional fee(s) to attend any or all of the special events.
