Sabianet (HITEC) held their Q4 IT Leadership Summit in Palo Alto, California on November 14th-15th. The Summit gathers together the most influential and knowledgeable global leaders in Information Technology that are of Hispanic Heritage and provides them a forum where ideas and trends in Information Technology are discussed and shared with the future leaders in Information Technology. A key goal of the Council is to encourage, inspire, mentor and assist Hispanic IT professionals in becoming the next generation of business leaders. As part of the Summit, HITEC identifies the role models that are today's most influential and notable business leaders in Information Technology. During the Gala Event of the Summit, HITEC awards these individuals, giving them recognition among their peers and placing them on the HITEC 100 List. HITEC has been conducting the HITEC 100 awards since 2008 and in Palo Alto, on the fifteenth of November, HITEC released the 2014 HITEC 100 most influential Hispanics in IT. Sabianet's CEO and President, Marilyn Ehrhardt, was honored to receive the HITEC 100 award for 2014 and to be placed on the list with other Hispanic leaders in Information Technology. "While all on this list share a common bond of Hispanic heritage, we also share the adoption of the American work ethic which clearly demonstrates that hard work and tenacity break down the barriers to success and overcome failures. Our failures teach us and we must not give in to discouragement, but press onward. I am deeply honored and moved to be recognized by the HITEC Council" stated Marilyn Ehrhardt about receiving this award. She goes on, "Furthermore, my company and its employees will adopt the spirit of HITEC, to encourage and "pull up" the industrious emerging leaders that are struggling to move ahead in the Information Technology world." She thanked the leaders of HITEC, J. Alberto Yépez, Chairman and Andre Arbelaez, President for the support that they have provided for Hispanic Executives through HITEC Global and committed to supporting the goals and activities of the Hispanic IT Executive Council. . Ehrhardt spoke with insight and passion on the empowerment of consumers through usage of technology in the Healthcare Industry citing two real-life examples that brought home the message that Information technology combined with Telecommunications technology reduces the cost of healthcare but even more critical--it saves lives! Given the widespread concerns on healthcare costs, access to healthcare professionals and Insurance, Marilyn Ehrhardt emphasized that we are only scratching the surface on how technology can provide solutions with impact to these concerns and clearly stated that empowering individuals to participate in their healthcare via Technology is the key. One of the cases Ehrhardt spoke of demonstrated a clear pathway to cost reduction through empowerment of caregivers of chronic care patients utilizing health information technology and a smartphone. The patient, having chronic hypertension combined with depression had a prescription medication multi-drug interaction that led to a heart attack and congestive heart failure. After successful treatment of these events, the caretaker took simple steps to establish a Personal Health Record for the patient that could be accessed via Smartphone. This single up-to-date view of the patient's current health conditions aided all providers to remain on the same page, having a clearer, fuller picture of the patient. The smartphone, which is always with the patient, is a unique delivery platform for access to this critical information and for keeping it up to date. This chronic patient, after having costly initial encounters with the healthcare system has managed to avoid having any other costly medical events due to the simple use of technology. Still, there is much to be improved, stressed Ehrhardt, and the major challenge for IT professionals in the Healthcare Industry is to create a consumer experience that is simple and easy to use by ALL stakeholders in the system. Additionally, with today's vast collection of structured and unstructured data, IT Professionals must begin to create integrated platforms that can ingest and integrate volumes of data from Big Data with traditional structured data to produce contextual snapshots of what is needed by a patient, in his current condition, in his current location, with pertinent history that can be easily delivered to healthcare professionals. The other case Ehrhardt described showed how healthcare can be administered to save lives using technology in a mobile setting. She describes an event that occurred on a transatlantic flight where a person on the plane was experiencing chest pains. A physician, seated nearby, had a smartphone that had a prototype device/application that was capable of producing a real-time electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG, similar to the now available product from ). The physician was able to diagnose the patient with acute STEMI, a critical condition of the heart. With this information, the pilot conducted an emergency landing and the patient's life was saved. With technology, we are empowering the healthcare community, patients and providers with the ability to diagnose and treat health issues outside of traditional venues like the physician's office or the emergency room. Healthcare is becoming manageable everywhere.
