With the advent of technological and computing advancements, healthcare is seeing an exponential increase in the volume of health-related data. Electronic Health Records and Enterprise Data Warehouses around the world are facilitating the documentation and storage of this ocean of data. However since not all data is information, healthcare providers, researchers, educators, administrators and patients are trying to make sense of this tremendous data trove. 10:30 to 11:30 a.m Student Scholar Presentations: Jeffrey Hajibandeh 14 Dental Diagnostic Codesthe Importance of Standardized Coding in the Digital Healthcare Era Faculty Mentor: Dr. Thanos Zavras Professor & Director, Oral Epidemiology & Biostatistics Imad Maleeh 14 Obstacles to the Utilization of Health Information Technology in Today s Private Dental Practices Faculty Mentor: Dr. Joseph McManus Associate Clinical Professor, Section of Social & Behavioral Sciences

6 Location: Afternoon Lecture Room 401, Hammer Health Sciences Center 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. Visiting Professor Lecture: Dr. Amit Acharya The Role of Health Informatics and Information Technology (HIIT) in Solving the Grand Challenges in Dentistry As healthcare in U.S. enters the era of accountability and moves towards achieving the Triple Aim, dental and craniofacial care should not be dismissed. The cost of providing dental care is a growing concern. Based on a projection from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the total national expenditure for dental care will almost triple between 2000 and As electronic health records become more widespread, the feasibility of integrating medical and dental care, research and education is being explored by many healthcare organizations. The field of dental informatics can play a major role in facilitating the transformation of dentistry into the new era. This presentation will explore where dental informatics fits within the larger realm of the informatics world. An overview of the current changes to the healthcare delivery model and the evolution and impact of HIIT as they relate to some of the recent healthcare reforms will be explored The role of information technology in facilitating access to care issues, and the role of HIIT in solving the Triple Aim [Population Health, Patient Experience, Per Capita Cost] in Dentistry will be reviewed. 1:15 to 2:00 p.m Luncheon for lecture attendees, 4th Floor, Riverview Lounge This program is free of charge to faculty, students and alumni of all pre- and postdoctoral programs.
