nnovation does not occur in a vacuum. The best ideas often are born out of competing interests working together in support of a common cause. In medicine, that common cause is stateof-the-art health care. Northeast Ohio boasts some of the world’s most renowned medical institutions, and even these fiercely competitive organizations know that success isn’t always achieved on their own backs. Collaboration in health care is fast-becoming the gold standard in Northeast Ohio — and beyond — as the entire sector faces seemingly insurmountable challenges while operating in an era of boundless opportunity. Much of this collaboration is being driven by the changing economics of health care. Payers — both government and commercial — are encouraging providers to work more closely together and major grant funders are encouraging major institutions to come together to tackle some of health care’s most pressing problems. Also, quality metrics are becoming vitally important, and smaller institutions are increasingly looking to the major academic medical centers for help in improving their performances in key service lines. While there’s much overlap, cooperation in Northeast Ohio is evident in four key areas impacting health care: academics, institutional partnerships, research ventures and commercialization efforts. This special supplement of Crain’s Cleveland Business will highlight some of these collaborations, as well as the Global Center for Health Innovation and the Cleveland Clinic’s upcoming annual Medical Innovation Summit. “We believe that collaboration is an essential aspect of getting it right for the future of health care delivery, the future of science and the future of innovation,� said Ann Huston, the Cleveland Clinic’s chief strategy officer.

A RENDERING OF CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY’S CENTER FOR INNOVATION IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS
ACADEMICS
TEACHING AS A TEAM By Timothy Magaw
The way the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. James Young sees it, health care’s no longer a gladiatorial sport with one person — no matter how smart — going up against the challenges. Instead, it’s a team effort, and today’s medical education has begun to reflect that trend. “As we move forward with the changing health care scene, there’s going to be a whole variety of caregivers working together for patients and families,” said Young, dean of the Clinic’s Lerner College of Medicine, a collaborative effort with Case Western Reserve University. No longer are medical schools training physicians in their respective silos. Now, they’re training alongside pharmacists, nurses and even dentists. And just as health care has become a team sport, so has the task in educating these future health care professionals. In many cases, nationally and locally, educational institutions are coming together all in the spirit of producing well-rounded medical professionals. The Clinic and Case Western Reserve made perhaps the biggest statement about their commitment to collaboration and up-ending medical education when they announced last year plans to build a new, $80 million medical education building on the Clinic’s campus. Both institutions are raising money for the project, and a timeline hasn’t been finalized. However, both parties envision a high-tech space — a “stateof-the-future” one, as Young described it — where students from various disciplines can rub shoulders. “The building will wrap a beautiful skin around what we hope will be the leading medical education program in the world,” said Dr. Pamela Davis, dean of the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and the university’s vice president for medical affairs. “This is an

opportunity to share perspectives — over the lunch table, in the simulation suite, in the anatomy instruction lab — in ways we haven’t done before. It will spark creativity both in our students and in our educators.” The Clinic’s educational endeavors go beyond Case Western Reserve. In 2012, the Clinic announced it would open an extension of Ohio University’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at its South Pointe Hospital in Warrensville Heights. The initial class of 32 students is expected to begin in July 2015. As part of the effort, the Clinic and Ohio University will invest a combined $49 million toward the project. Beyond the Clinic’s efforts, another major academic and medical collaboration is taking hold in Northeast Ohio. Cleveland State University broke ground late last year on a health sciences building — a $45 million, 100,000-square-foot facility known as the Center for Innovation in Health Professions. The facility is the physical embodiment of the university’s burgeoning relationship with Northeast Ohio Medical University, which will lease about 20% of the new building. “We don’t have to develop duplicate programs,” NEOMED president Jay Gershen said.
“We can have a team approach to health care training.” Cleveland State and NEOMED launched a joint venture about two years ago focused on training primary care physicians who will serve in underserved urban areas. This fall, the third cohort of Cleveland State students will enter NEOMED’s College of Medicine. Like the burgeoning CWRU-Clinic relationship, Cleveland State’s new building and relationship with NEOMED is anchored in interprofessional education. The new building will house students from nine different health professions, encouraging them to interact, according to Meredith Bond, dean of Cleveland State’s College of Sciences and Health Professions. Bond said much of the emphasis on interprofessional education is being driven by the Affordable Care Act, which stresses the importance of team-based health care as a way to improve quality and drive down costs. “Health care costs will continue to increase exponentially unless we do something dramatic,” Bond said. “This may well be the magic bullet. It’s not going to be easy to implement and perfect, but the more we bring professionals together to talk about health issues, the more effective it’ll be.” While recent construction projects are the physical manifestation of collaboration in local health care education, cooperation runs deep among local health care teaching efforts. Case Western Reserve, for one, has deep relationships with not only the Clinic, but all of its hospital partners, including University Hospitals, MetroHealth and Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. The same could be said for NEOMED, which also works closely with Akron’s competing health care organizations. “The students love to see these different approaches to health care, and I think it’s of extraordinary value,” Davis said.

PARTNERSHIPS
BREAKING
DOWN
THE WALLS By Timothy Magaw Starting in the mid-1990s, the Cleveland Clinic went on an intense buying spree that resulted in the lion’s share of the region’s independent hospitals joining the Clinic system. While the Clinic hasn’t closed the door on the potential for further acquisitions, the health system has preferred in recent years to extend its reach in other ways. Affiliations. Strategic alliances. Joint ventures. They’re all part of the Clinic’s quest to extend its brand without investing substantial capital. In some cases, these relationships — particularly the consulting affiliations — are intended to generate revenue. But more importantly, Clinic officials stress that these relationships are designed to allow the health system and its partnering institutions to better navigate today’s increasingly complex health care landscape with a little more muscle. “There’s a blurring of roles,” said Ann Huston, the Clinic’s chief strategy officer. “Collaborative opportunities are clearly a way for separate, independent organizations to achieve common objectives in a much quicker time frame.” She added, “This whole industry is shifting so much, and it requires new capabilities if we’re going to take care of patients really, really well.” Across the country, hospitals and health systems are working together more than ever to make sense of the tumultuous health care industry. The basic idea is that bigger is usually better, and working together — and thus sharing best practices — is far more preferable than working in what many of them refer to as silos. Also, the federal government has begun to take a heightened interest in the flurry of M&A activity occurring across the country, forcing health care providers to think about different sorts of arrangements if they want to work together. “Systems understand that they need to collaborate,” said Allan Baumgarten, a Minnesotabased health care consultant who studies health care markets across the country. “They need to be focused on population health, and they need to take advantage of capabilities they don’t have but other systems to do.” In August 2013, for instance, the Clinic an-

SUMMA HEALTH SYSTEM (ABOVE), ALONG WITH UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE ENTITIES, IS PART OF HEALTH INNOVATIONS OHIO, HEADED BY CEO JIM REBER (RIGHT) nounced an affiliation with ProMedica, a dominating health system in Northwest Ohio. Initial opportunities for collaboration included sharing data and care protocols and perhaps some backend services. When announced, both parties stressed the relationship was part of an industry-wide shift toward population health management. Health care systems are trying to move away from a hospital-centric model of care toward one where organizations work together to provide coordinated care across large geographic areas. Being able to do that nimbly requires some scale. That’s part of the reason four of the state’s health care powerhouses — including Northeast Ohio’s University Hospitals and Summa Health System — last year launched Health Innovations Ohio. The new independent collaborative organization also includes Columbus’ Mount Carmel Health System and Cincinnati’s Mercy Health, the state’s largest health system that, through an auxiliary organization, purchased a minority stake in Summa. HIO has since added Kettering Health Network to the fold, and HIO president and CEO Jim Reber said others are in the pipeline. All told, the current partners account for about 33% of all inpatient care in the state. That’s a lot of influence to wield in the state. The group already is touting as a success the expansion of its affiliated Medicare Advantage products — benefits offerings designed to better coordinate care, and thus control costs, for Medicare enrollees. In 2013, Mount Carmel’s MediGold and Summa’s SummaCare products were made available in northern and southwestern Ohio through providers affiliated with Mercy Health and University Hospitals. “We’re in a very competitive health care environment,” Reber said. “It would seem a bit
contradictory, but there’s clearly an environment where collaboration seems to be growing because of the opportunities it offers to improve the lives and health of Ohioans.”
FILLING THE GAPS
Hospitals can’t be experts at everything, and that’s another reason why many are joining forces. The Clinic’s renowned Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart and Vascular Institute, for instance, has inked agreements with hospitals across the country. The arrangements allow partnering organizations to work with the Clinic on quality outcomes and methods to speed improvements in heart care and research. “We’ve been in the business of heart care for a long time, and we are looked at as the regional leader in heart care here,” said Dr. Stuart F. Seides, physician executive director of the MedStar Heart Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, which has a clinical and research alliance with the Clinic. “The Clinic, obviously, is the No. 1 worldwide brand in heart care. The Clinic is an exceptional place.” University Hospitals, meanwhile, has attached its highly regarded Seidman Cancer Center brand to several independent providers throughout the region, including those at Mercy Cancer Center in Elyria and Firelands Regional Medical Center in Sandusky. The group also operates a joint venture cancer center with Lake Health in Mentor. “These are not relationships where we have a revenue stream back to us. They’re really mission-driven situations,” said Dr. Nathan Levitan, president of UH Seidman Cancer Center. “It’s becoming a very specialized and complicated field where you really need the resources of a tertiary-quaternary medical center behind you.”

ENTITIES BUILD OFF EACH OTHERS’ EXPERTISE By Chuck Soder

hen it comes to treating patients, the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are fierce competitors. However, on the research side, the two hospital systems and other local institutions tend to be more collaborative than competitive. Take the Institute of Computational Biology. Last November, the Clinic, UH and Case Western Reserve University chipped in a total of $21.5 million to create an institute that could help medical researchers analyze the vast amounts of patient data that hospitals generate. (That idea may sound familiar to anyone with knowledge of a Cleveland company called Explorys. However, Explorys’ software is designed to help hospitals analyze data to improve operations and patient care, while the institute is more focused on helping promote basic research.) It would’ve been hard for any of those institutions to form a similar project on their own, according to Jonathan Haines, a geneticist who
left Vanderbilt University to run the institute. For one, it’s less expensive to create one institute that works with researchers at multiple organizations. But the collaboration also makes the group more effective, Haines said. Consider the patient data that the institute collects. Sure, the Clinic and UH each gather a lot of patient information on their own. But some researchers want to study rare conditions. And they may not have enough data to conduct valid studies if all of their information comes from one hospital system, according to Haines, who also is chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at Case Western’s school of medicine. “There’s a lot of interest in looking at events and things that are not all that common,” Haines said. The MetroHealth System “has expressed a strong interest” in joining the institute as well, he added. That could help researchers study health trends that affect different pockets of Northeast Ohio’s population, based on income, geography and other factors.
A New Hotel
Landscape
With the increase in meetings and conventions drawing more visitors into downtown Cleveland, the hotel scene is busy growing to meet demand. Six new hotels are under construction in the downtown core, including the new 600-room Hilton Cleveland Downtown. By 2016, downtown Cleveland will offer nearly 5,000 hotel rooms which will help to attract even more meetings to Cleveland.

With data from the Clinic, UH and MetroHealth, those researchers wouldn’t need to worry about getting a good sample. They’d have anonymous data for almost every patient in Cuyahoga County, Haines said. “It’s not a sampling. It’s not biased. This is the population,” he said. In general, research tends to be a collaborative process, given that the process of discovering something new often requires expertise that can’t be found inside one department or institution. Plus, people who have different specialties often can come up with great ideas when they work together, Haines said. “You get a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, that’s really neat. I never thought of it that way,’ ” he said. The Clinic, UH and Case Western have “a history of collaboration” when it comes to research, Haines said.
THEY’VE DONE IT BEFORE
The Institute of Computational Biology was modeled on the Case Comprehensive Cancer

Center — another research institute that unites the Clinic, UH and Case Western. The National Cancer Institute only gives the “comprehensive label” to those few institutions that show an expertise in multiple areas. In general, the federal organizations that fund health care innovation are pushing grant recipients to work with other institutions, according to Dr. Pamela Davis, dean of Case Western’s School of Medicine. The same goes for the state of Ohio and private foundations, Davis said. For instance, in 2011, when the Cleveland Foundation gave Case Western $1.5 million to expand the Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology, it pushed the university to involve more institutions. The center, which aims to come up with new therapies by figuring out how to alter proteins and other biological molecules, began as a joint
venture between the Clinic and Case Western. Today, it also includes Cleveland State University, MetroHealth and UH. On the state level, the Ohio Third Frontier program, which invests in high-tech projects and companies, requires many grant recipients to collaborate with other businesses and organizations. “It’s becoming the expectation in education and research,” Davis said. “Collaboration is the order of the day.”
CROSSING THE LINE
As for the Institute of Computational Biology, over time Haines plans to recruit more hospitals to join the group. At the moment, the institute is in the process of building out its “physical and intellectual” infrastructure. On the physical side, it is leasing computer
equipment housed at a local data center certified to protect patient data, and it aims to “standardize and harmonize” patient data submitted by its member institutions. On the intellectual side, the institute a few months ago hired three faculty members, who will be based at Case Western. They specialize in statistical analysis, computational biology and the study of health disparities in society. However, the institute’s next hire will demonstrate its commitment to collaboration: That person most likely will be based at the Clinic, Haines said in late July. He or she will focus on applying the center’s technology to the hospital system’s electronic health record system. “We’re already trying to cross the line,” Haines said. — Crain’s health care reporter Tim Magaw contributed to this story

COMMERCIALIZATION
MARKET FORCES
By Chuck Soder Mark Zuckerberg wrote the code for an early version of Facebook from his dorm room, without a lot of help. But to create a new medical implant, you might need a little bit more assistance. It’s rare that a single person develops a new medical technology on his or her own, and in many cases multiple organizations — hospitals, universities, private companies — work together to launch a single product. That need for collaboration pushed several Akron-area institutions to form the Austen BioInnovation Institute in 2008. One of the ABIA’s main goals was to help Akron-area doctors and researchers come up with ideas for new medical technologies and turn them into products — something at which none of the founding members were particularly good. For instance, the University of Akron developed lots of polymer technologies over the years but didn’t have a history of turning them into medical products. Northeast Ohio Medical University still was building up its research capacity. And the three founding hospital systems — Summa Health System, Akron General Medical Center and Akron Children’s Hospital — produced only 11 documented invention ideas between 2001 and 2009. Now, however, the three hospitals crank out more than 100 invention disclosures each year, according to Dr. Frank Douglas, the institute’s president and CEO. And so far, the ABIA has spun out six startup companies, Douglas said. And it typically is developing prototypes of 17 or 18 different medical devices at any given point, he added. However, the ABIA in some ways serves as an example of how hard it can be to keep a collaborative project going. The leaders from the five institutions showed

ment, he said. Northeast Ohio Medical University also dropped its formal partnership earlier this year. By then, NEOMED had decided not to go forward with a previous plan that involved establishing a research presence in Akron with the Austen BioInnovation Institute. In addition to declining support from its founding members, the ABIA had another problem: Its 30,000-square-foot hospital simulation center — built to help medical professionals practice procedures in a realistic environment — wasn’t being used nearly enough, Douglas said. So what could solve these problems and turn the ABIA into a financially sustainable organization? Douglas believes the answer is more collaboration. Thus, since late 2012, he has been pushing the ABIA to start serving companies and organizations other than its members. So if an organization wants to use the ABIA’s services — maybe they want to use the simulation center, develop a prototype or run a clinical trial — they’d have to pay a fee. It’s a way to generate revenue for the ABIA, but it’s also a way DR. FRANK DOUGLAS to help the Akron community indirectly, Douglas said. He dePRESIDENT & CEO scribed how the institute is conAUSTEN BIOINNOVATION INSTITUTE ducting a clinical trial for a San IN AKRON Antonio-based company called ADB International Group Inc.

He not only helped start the ABIA, but he’s now president of BioEnterprise, another vehicle for innovation that was created by several medical institutions: the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University.
CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST
Unlike the founders of the ABIA, the organizations that started BioEnterprise didn’t need as much help developing new technologies. For instance, the Clinic and Case Western both were in the process of building teams that would go on to help the institutions spin out dozens of high-tech medical startups. But they still saw a need to create BioEnterprise. For one, the Cleveland-based nonprofit is in a better position to raise the profile of the local medical technology industry because it can harness “the power of collective storytelling,” Nerpouni said. When talking to the media and out-of-state investors, BioEnterprise can showcase young biomedical companies from all over the region. It’s easier to get outsiders excited about the local biomedical industry when you can paint the bigger picture, he said. “They realize, ‘Wow, there’s a lot going on in Cleveland,’ ” he said. When it comes to commercializing new medical technology, different organizations should work together when there’s a problem they can’t solve on their own, according to Douglas. But each organization has to bring valuable capabilities to the table, he said. And they’ve all got to make a strong commitment to the project, he said. You often need to collaborate with people outside your organization if you’re tackling a big challenge: He alluded to a framed picture of Mount Everest on the wall in his office, mentioning the base camp where climbers gather. “The only way you can get to (the top of) Mount Everest is if you collaborate,” he said.

COMING TOGETHER CANCER, PERSONALIZED CARE FOCUS OF SUMMIT By Rachel Abbey McCafferty Cancer treatment is, at its core, a multidisciplinary field, said Dr. Charis Eng, founding director of the Genomic Medicine Institute of the Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute. The very nature of the disease lends itself to collaborative efforts. Cancer can attack any organ system, Eng said, but no one’s an expert in every single part of the body. It’s a “model for collaboration,” she said. Cancer treatment and personalized care is the focus of this year’s Cleveland Clinic’s Medical Innovation Summit. Gary M. Fingerhut, executive director of Cleveland Clinic Innovations, said the topic was chosen because of the advances in the field and the fact that it affects so much of the population. The event, now in its 12th year, is a good place to build relationships and to take on the medical challenges of the time, Fingerhut said. In addition to a host of panels and CEO speakers, Fingerhut said, there’s a strong focus on the latest market-ready technologies. The summit, being held from Oct. 27 to 29, will highlight the top 10 medical innovations of the coming year and the winner of the New Ventures Healthcare Challenge, a contest started just last year for early stage health care IT. And new this year will be the Innovation Base Camp on Oct. 26, a half-day, hands-on event focused on best practices. For more than a decade now, the summit has brought together health care leaders from across the world to discuss the topic of the year. The summit drew nearly 1,600 attendees last year, the Clinic estimated, and it expects this year to draw about the same number of health care-related professionals from providers to investors. “It’s very much a global innovation event,” Fingerhut said. Collaboration is inherently at the Innovation

GARY FINGERHUT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CLEVELAND CLINIC INNOVATIONS Summit’s core. Dr. Brian J. Bolwell, chairman of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Institute, said the high-energy event brings together individuals who normally wouldn’t interact, which lends itself naturally to collaborative opportunities. That’s appropriate for the cancer treatment industry, which Bolwell said is “increasingly a team sport.” In general, Bolwell said, the high cost of modern medicine makes collaboration attractive.

Both Bolwell and Eng will address issues of how the study of genetics is affecting cancer research and treatment as part of panels during the summit. Bolwell said the study of genomics is “certainly” changing how health care professionals treat cancer and tumors. It’s even changing how cancers are defined, as the definition starts to shift from where a cancer is located to the type of genetic abnormality it causes, he said. “It’s a very exciting time to be involved in cancer therapies,” Bolwell said. While the focus on genomic data in the personalized medicine field is important, there are more dimensions of consumer health and behavior to be considered, said Russ Johannesson, chief operating officer of Atlanta-based Sharecare Inc. Johannesson will be part of a panel at the summit on turning data into usable information for personalizing care. Sharecare, created by TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz and Jeff Arnold, the creator of WebMD, is what Johannesson called a consumer-facing web experience. The company helps consumers assess their health risks using a “Real Age Test” and uses their responses about factors like family history and exercise to customize content for them. The program can also be used by organizations managing large populations, like the military or hospital systems. While personalized health care is obviously of interest to Sharecare, Johannesson said the “most important element across the board” in modern health care is collaboration. There are rarely singularly focused health issues, he said, pointing to co-morbidity rates across major diseases. If a patient has heart disease and depression, the health care system needs to deal with both, he said. And getting patients to engage in health care, from fitness to medicinal adherence, is a big issue in health care, Johannesson said. The Sharecare program collects content from a variety of experts, giving users the chance to take in multiple, clinically validated perspectives. “We’re all about sharing care,” Johannesson said.
THE ANNUAL TOP 10 MEDICAL INNOVATIONS LIST highlights innovations with large clinical and societal impact that members of the Cleveland Clinic expect to make a splash in the upcoming year. It showcases the “immense progress” and “joy in innovation” in modern American medicine, said Dr. Michael F. Roizen, chief wellness officer for the Clinic and part of the decision committee for the list. The list, which first was released in 2006 for 2007, is compiled from the suggestions of 100 to 300 Clinic experts, Roizen said. After review, about 60 to 80 suggestions are posed to two groups of physicians who conduct a series of votes until the list for the coming year is whittled down to 10. The 2015 list will be announced at the 2014 summit in October. According to the Clinic’s website, the medical innovations must meet the following criteria to be considered: n They need to have “significant clinical impact and offer significant patient benefit,” compared to the current practices. n They also need to improve health care delivery through “high user-related functionality.” n The innovations need to be likely to see commercial success. n They have to be on the market in the coming year. n The human connection is important — the innovations need to have “significant human interest” and their impact must be able to be visualized. — Rachel Abbey McCafferty TOP 10 MEDICAL INNOVATIONS FOR 2014 1.

GLOBAL CENTER REFERRED TO AS LIVING LAB, WORLD’S FAIR FOR HEALTH CARE By Kathy Ames Carr
“We’re trying to coordinate new technologies, and being in the Global Center allows us and other companies to work together to advance health care.”
— Jim Dagley, Johnson Controls
PHOTOGRAPHY BY MCKINLEY WILEY
Despite all the technology available to treat patients, sometimes even the most basic issues become complex challenges that one entity alone cannot solve. Patients trying to sleep inside a hospital, for example, complain in surveys about noise levels and disruptions from caregivers. GE Healthcare equipment can alert nurses when the patient is snoozing, but as of now, the lines of communication end there. Thanks to collaborations among the provider of medical technology and Johnson Controls, both tenants at the Global Center for Health Innovation, those patient concerns may soon be put to rest. “What if GE sends a message to Johnson Controls to automatically dim the lights, turn off the TV or signal to the nurses’ station not to disturb the patient because he or she just fell asleep?” said Jim Dagley, vice president of strategic business development for Johnson Controls, which provides technology to operate heating and cooling equipment, security and other systems on one network. “We’re trying to coordinate new technologies, and being in the Global Center allows us and other companies to work together to advance health care,” Dagley said. The four-floor facility in downtown Cleveland, with its carefully curated selection of globally oriented health care companies and institutions, is incubating the future of health care by enabling companies to partner on new technological advancements. The collaborative environment of the Global Center, therefore, offers potential to expedite innovations in health care. “We’re seeing interesting collaborations emerge to solve these health care problems and drive company revenue, and some of the spaces haven’t even opened yet,” Dagley said. “The space is like a living lab for tenants.” Collaboration isn’t limited to invention; even referrals to complementing products and services contribute toward healthier businesses and bottom lines. Industry decisionmakers and other center visitors may have a meeting with one

tenant, but circulate the center’s other suiteholders — often at the encouragement of the host company — to learn more about other innovative products and services. “I think we’ll see unique innovations coming out of the Global Center simply because we’re getting customers talking to all those tenants,” Dagley said. “Customers have these ideas for new products that involve collaboration.” Forbo Flooring Systems’ showroom opened May 1, and already other tenants’ visitors and salespeople have made inquiries about the company’s intelligent flooring and furniture, which alert caregivers to any number of red flags, from a patient fall to reminding a doctor to wash her hands. “Relationships are being built, and that’s helping to drive our business,” said Julia Rajcan, manager of Forbo Flooring Systems, located in the Global Center’s clinical space on the third floor. The company plans to formally integrate with another tenant to further showcase those products, though Rajcan couldn’t provide details since talks still are underway.

University Hospitals and medical imaging partner Philips Healthcare’s 4,600-square-foot shared suite shows how they are working together to integrate state-of-the-art imaging and radiology equipment into patient care. “We have a shared conference space that we often use to highlight the technology used in pediatric, oncologic and cardiac specialties,” said Dr. Pablo Ros, chairman of radiology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center. “Co-tenants are frequently a part of these conversations.” From the patient’s perspective, the facility’s state-of-the-art patient home shows how individuals with at-risk conditions, chronic illnesses or other disabilities can live within the comforts of their own home. The model home, located on the center’s first floor, is an entry point into some of these companies’ latest technologies and will continue to metamorphose as the latest smart furnishings and home equipment come online. The innovations that emerge as a result of these health care titans’ interactions will be an interesting case study on how the Global Center impacts new product commercialization and other advancements in health care, said David Shute, senior strategic adviser for the Global Center for Health Innovation. “This is like a permanent world’s fair for health care. There’s no other space in the world like it,” he said. “It’s fascinating to watch this all unfold.”

HIMSS CONNECTING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY By Chuck Soder Back in the 1990s, most hospital systems and health care companies weren’t forced to get to know each other very well, according to John Paganini of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. But that changed as information technology started seeping into every corner of the industry. Like the kid down the street with a pool in his backyard, technology lured industry players from all over the neighborhood to get together and play nice. These days, they have no choice but to work together. Almost every new medical device or software product needs to communicate with another piece of technology, according to Paganini, senior manager for interoperability initiatives with HIMSS. And nowadays, federal incentives are pushing hospital systems to make sure they can share records with other hospitals, even their biggest competitors. “Everybody has to talk to everybody else,” Paganini said. Think of HIMSS as the parent who plans the pool party and makes sure everyone has fun: The organization provides a neutral forum where members of the health care industry can figure out how to solve problems with information technology. Given the rise of health IT, HIMSS is widely cited as one of the most important organizations in the
health care industry — the kind of organization that would lease the entire fourth floor of the Global Center for Health Innovation in downtown Cleveland. The group plans to use the new HIMSS Innovation Center at the Global Center to help health care providers and companies develop deeper, more productive relationships. For instance, because of HIMSS’ local presence, Cleveland now is the permanent home of the annual North American Connectathon, which is organized by IHE USA. The nonprofit — its name stands for Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise — works closely with HIMSS. The Connectathon attracted about 600 IT experts from different companies to Chicago this past January. Bearing medical devices and computers systems loaded with software, the engineers hook up their products to other pieces of technology to make sure the products can be used together. Paganini said the Connectathon fosters “the most cooperative environment I have ever seen on the planet.” For instance, if two software engineers find a problem, they try to figure it out on the spot, he said. “Literally, I’ve seen cases where we’ve fixed problems in 10 minutes,” he said. “The same sort of problem could take months to fix out in the field.” Cleveland will host its first Connectathon from Jan. 26 to 30. HIMSS already hosts about one networking event or conference per week on the fourth
floor of the Global Center. The organization encourages the many vendors who pay to have booths on the fourth floor to have staff members on site during those events. HIMSS also works to facilitate relationships between vendors. For instance, one vendor, John Carroll University, allows students in computer-related majors to specialize in health information technology. Earlier this summer, some John Carroll students visited the HIMSS Innovation Center to learn about the industry from other vendors — companies that eventually might need their talents, Paganini said. “It’s that type of environment that’s being stimulated,” he said. The HIMSS Innovation Center is in the process of building a data center that will be the foundation of its Interoperability Accelerator. Once the accelerator is up and running, companies will be able to bring in their products and run tests on them to make sure they meet IT standards used in the health care industry — which is the first step to making sure a product will work with other technologies. HIMSS also is encouraging vendors to make their own products available for interoperability tests. Paganini hopes that, through HIMSS, health carerelated organizations will work together on IT projects — and then find other ways to collaborate. “The greater good is the networking environment that creates at the business relationship level,” he said.
