Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 3: Epic Management - Take the ExitsCprime
Organizations might have set up all the process steps for portfolio flow: the monthly strategic portfolio review, the portfolio kanban, even the lean business case. But, they are still not getting the idea that small, testable, constantly evaluated initiatives are what really increase your output of value to the customer and put you way ahead of the competition.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In part 2, we covered how to organize around value streams with examples of successful LPM.
Now, in this third webinar in our Lean Portfolio Management series we’ll join Cprime's Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant), Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility), & Neha Tiwari (Business Agility Portfolio Consultant) to learn techniques to:
Question performing work that doesn't clearly align to your organization's strategy
Develop a process that makes things smaller and testable when it comes to initiative creation and management
Build a culture that allows work to stop if it's not going to meet its intended purpose
Make sure that you are "thinking lean," rather than just "doing lean"

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is touted as a world-changing paradigm. A shift that promises to boost productivity, time to market, quality, customer satisfaction, revenue, and a host of other vital business metrics. It promises to transform the organization to a leaner, more agile version of itself, primed to innovate effortlessly and outperform its competition at every turn.
Most organizations who have tried to establish LPM find the reality to be more nuanced than that. These companies end up implementing “Imitation LPM” where actions and some process changes may be in place and functioning, but the real promise of LPM- the increased agility and reduced waste- is not occurring.
Real LPM assumes that work is funded by value streams with teams organized around delivery of products and services that are valuable to customers. This is, perhaps, the hardest part of implementing LPM.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In this second of our series, we join Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility) to explore:
- How to organize around value streams
- Real world examples of organizations who have successfully shifted from imitation value streams to true value streams
- The impact to funding and budgeting cycles

I presented this opinionated look at why the Medicare Shared Savings plans, ACOs and other outcomes-driven payment models are being promoted over fee for service (FFS) models and what that means for service providers and integrators. Evidence driven healthcare is required to help reduce costs and data drives evidence – the problem is that institutions are having trouble pulling together all the data they need. Current health IT systems integrate poorly and anyone that can improve that data integration to help with pricing transparency, cost transparency, care coordination, and population health management will have work for years.

Keeping your medical device designs relevant in an era of value based and outcome driven care is not easy. In this talk, I cover the following topics:
* “Connected EHRs”, device interoperability, and “Accountable Tech” are the future of med devices
* Hardware, sensors, and software are transient businesses but data lives forever. He who owns, integrates, and uses data wins in the end.
* Data from devices is too important and specialized to be left to software vendors, managed service providers, and system integrators.

Building safety-critical medical device platforms and Meaningful Use EHR gate...Shahid Shah
This is an in depth technical presentation delivered at OSCon 2012 on how to define, design, and build modern safety-critical medical device platforms and Meaningful Use compliant EHR gateways. The talk starts with a quick background on comparative effective research (CER) and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and the kinds of data the government is looking to leverage in the future to help reduce healthcare costs and improve health outcomes. After defining why data is important, the workshop will cover the different techniques for collecting medical data – such as directly from a patient, through healthcare professionals, through labs, and finally through medical devices; the presentation will cover which kinds of data are easy to collect and what are more difficult and how technical challenges to collection can be overcome.
After covering the data collection area the workshop will dive deep into a modern medical device platform architecture which the speaker calls “The Ultimate Medical Device Connectivity Architecture” – providing an in-depth overview and answering questions around architecture, specifications, and design or modern (connected) medical devices.
Presentations of open source software and other inexpensive design techniques for implementing connected architectures will be covered. Finally, the talk will cover details about medical device gateways, what new Meaningful Use rules might require when connecting EHRs to gateways, and how to design and architect gateways that can stand the test of time and be interoperable over the long haul.
Reasons why health data is poorly integrated today and what we can do about itShahid Shah
Presented at StrataRX 2012: http://strataconf.com/rx2012/public/schedule/detail/25953
While the entire healthcare community, for decades, has been clamoring for, cajoling, and demanding integration of its IT systems, we’re actually in a pretty elementary stage when it comes to useful, practical, health IT systems integration beyond on-premise and in-building hospital software. Our problem in the industry is not that engineers don’t know how to create the right technology solutions or that somehow we have a big governance problem; while those are certainly issues in certain settings, the real cross-industry issue is much bigger – our approach to integration is decades old, opaque, and rewards closed systems.
For decades, starting in the 50’s through the mid 90’s before the web / Internet came along, systems integration meant that every system had to know about each other in advance, decide on what data they would share, engage in governance meetings, have memoranda of understanding or contracts in place, etc. After the web came along, most of that was thrown out the window because the approach changed to one that said the owner of the data provides whatever they decide (e.g. through a web server) and whoever wants it will be provided secure access and they can come get it (e.g. through a browser or HTTP client). This kind of revolutionary approach in systems integration is what the health IT and medical device sectors are sorely lacking and something that ONC can help promote.
Specifically, the following things are holding us back when it comes to poor integration in healthcare and what future EHRs can do about it:
• We don’t support shared identities, single sign on (SSO), and industry-neutral authentication and authorization. Most health IT systems create their own custom logins and identities for its users including roles, permissions, access controls, etc. stored in an opaque part of their own proprietary database. ONC should mandate that all future EHRs use industry-neutral and well supported identity management technologies so that each system has a least the ability to share identities. Without identity sharing and exchange there can be no easy and secure application integration capabilities no matter how good the formats are. I’m continually surprised how little attention is paid to this cornerstone of application integration. There are very nice open identity exchange protocols, such as SAML, OpenID, and oAuth as well as open roles and permissions management protocols such as XACML that make identity and permission sharing possible. Free open source tools such as OpenAM, Apache Directory, OpenLDAP, Shibboleth, and many commercial vendors have drop-in tools to make it almost trivial to do identity sharing, SSO, and RBAC.
OSEHRA Summit 2012 Lunch Keynote: Current health IT systems integrate poorly ...Shahid Shah
OSEHRA Summit 2012 Lunch Keynote - The Myth of Health Data Integration Complexity. This is an opinionated look at why current health IT systems integrate poorly and how it’s a big opportunity for the OSEHRA Community.
Background:
* A deluge of healthcare data is being created as we digitize biology, chemistry, and physics.
* Data changes the questions we ask and it can actually democratize and improve the science of medicine, if we let it.
* While cures are the only real miracles of medicine, big data can help solve intractable problems and lead to more cures.
* Healthcare-focused software engineering is going to do more harm than good (industry-neutral is better).
Key takeaways:
* Major opportunity for systems integrators
* Applications come and go, data lives forever. He who owns, integrates, and uses data wins in the end.
* Never leave your data in the hands of an application/system vendor.

Med Device Vendors Have Big Opportunities in Health IT Software, Services, an...Shahid Shah
If you’re in the medical device manufacturing or hardware sales business your revenue growth (CAGR) is under pressure like never before. You’re being asked to do more with less but you’re probably going to find that hard to accomplish because of one or more of the following challenges:
* Longer product development timelines caused by more FDA and other government regulations
* Increased demand by customers to have your devices deliver user experiences that are more like “consumer” devices such as cell phones and tablets
* Lower margins as a reaction to commodity competition (your sensor hardware business will be commoditized faster and faster over time)
* More complex and longer sales cycles because devices are now being approved for sale not by facilities and clinical executives alone but increasingly by CIOs and IT teams
* Increased cost of risk management and compliance caused by connectivity requirements
Any one of these challenges is difficult to meet but these days you’re probably being asked to meet more than one simultaneously. The solutions are not simple but the good news is that medical device manufacturers have many revenue generation opportunities today that can fund the new strategic imperatives you’ll need to put into place to meet the challenges listed above.
This briefing, presented by Netspective CEO Shahid Shah, describes some of the opportunities and how device vendors can take advantage of them.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
