Pre Conference Workshops
InSight’s Pre Conference Workshops are designed to complement the InSight 2010 Annual Conference. These optional trainings take place Tuesday, September 14, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm for the half-day sessions and 8:30 – 4:30 for the full-day sessions.
The [InSight Annual Conference] contained a wealth of information for me. Not only in new products, but also in best practices on the products we already use and networking with similar organizations.

This session would cover the very basics of what the Pathways Materials Management data is all about—how to connect to the database outside of the application, basic queries, sample scripts and report troubleshooting. Time or class knowledge permitting, we will also cover the Pathways Materials Management ERD, code values used in Pathways Materials Management tables, and accessing the Pathways Materials Management data via MS Access.
Session will include a set of files for the attendees that cover the information shown in class, as well as some examples they can take back and use right away at their own facilities.
This session will give you a more in-depth view of QRE, ODBC/JDBC and Download Agent functions and benefits. We will view the configuration of the server that allows the ODBC/JDBC connectivity. We will explore functions such as automated assistance while typing, drag/drop or copying from the data dictionary, color-coded syntax editor, how to automate your PC downloads using Image Inspector and Download Agent, and much more. We will also cover the ODBC and JDBC drivers and how you can use ODBC features which will let you use Windows applications directly to access your data.
This session will cover the administrative side of the PMM databases using SSMS: finding blocks and locks; maintaining scheduled tasks; database configuration; viewing the ERD and querying; including more complicated joins and administrative reporting; adding and changing Pathways Reports; Crystal tips and tricks.

A root-cause of patient safety accidents and near misses is the distraction, inattention, and cognitive strain resulting from change fatigue. More specifically, healthcare organizations need to look at the impact of “uncontrolled change” on units and departments that provide direct and indirect patient care.
At this point your natural response is “We don't have uncontrolled change. We do a good job of managing our McKesson project. Unfortunately your project competes with materials and equipment, JCAHO and other regulatory driven changes, competency and skills training, implementation of new policies/procedures, and facility changes. In most cases these changes are managed well as projects within their domains. The patient safety risk increases and the probability of success of your project decreases from the perspective of the “sharp end” caregiver who rightfully asks: “Who is managing the simultaneous changes across all those domains?"
This workshop provides a simple yet effective solution to convert the current “avalanche” of change into a more proactive “snowfall” that will improve patient safety and increase the probability of success of your implementation.
We all know that in Horizon Ambulatory Care (HAC), templates are used to guide clinicians in documentation of their office encounter. Forms serve as an alternative mechanism in HAC for collecting and documenting information during an office encounter. McKesson currently delivers over 120 templates and 40 forms with HAC. With the ability to customize existing and build new ones, templates and forms can serve as key tools to meet standard and unique workflow needs within the electronic medical record (EMR). However, sometimes these tools can seem intimidating to build, especially forms, so they may be under utilized.
This 4-hour course will be an interactive session with McKesson and our installed customer base to share ideas of utilizing templates and forms in HAC.
Learn the terminology and key methodologies for project management from project initiation to the close of the project. Participants will learn how to:
-
Initiate projects through the development of a Charter and High level Work Break Down Structure(WBS)
-
Assess Risks
-
Develop a communication plan
-
Successfully plan by further defining the WBS, finalizing the project scope and schedule
-
Learn how to identify dependencies, calculate and manage the Critical Path
-
Execute and control projects through project schedules, managing issues and risks
-
Implement and manage scope change control
-
Close out projects by capturing lessons learned and conducting post implementation reviews
(Eligible for Category 4 PDU's from PMI)
This Pre Conference Workshop is the culmination of this summer's Achieve HIT Meaningful Use Webinar Series for Horizon Clinicals customers, which introduced McKesson's Meaningful Use Guide covering all 23 objectives that eligible hospitals must meet to qualify for Stage 1 ARRA stimulus incentives. Participants will be grouped based on where their organizations are in their ARRA roadmaps and will receive prescriptive guidance on how best to prepare for meaningful use. This will be a highly interactive workshop. All Horizon Clinicals customers who want to avoid stimulus penalties should plan to attend and have their Meaningful Use Guides filled out as much as possible. Workshop agenda includes*:
*Subject to modification based on government release of new information.
Note: Lunch is not provided for Pre Conference Workshop attendees.
