On August 1, 1999, Polly Letofsky left her Colorado home and headed west. She traveled across 4 continents, 22 countries, and over 14,000 miles—by foot—to become the first woman to walk around the world. As an awareness campaign for breast cancer, survivors and well-wishers around the world came out to walk with her, and the world had embraced her. But in the middle of Polly’s five-year journey, the world suddenly shifted on its axis when September 11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history.

Polly’s GlobalWalk has been featured in over 2,000 newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations around the world, and her book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World has been awarded 6 national awards including Best Memoir at the 2011 Writer’s Digest Best Book Awards. Her audio book has just been released.

To rapt audiences, she richly details her journey with humor and honest reflection, the good times and the hardships. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always inspirational, Polly’s program personifies the spirit of commitment and perseverance that will compel you to conquer life’s challenges—one step at a time.

A Roadmap to Building an Integrated Medical and Information Technology Service Management Standard 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.In the past decade, most professionals in Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) and in Healthcare Information Technology have come to accept the reality of medical and information technology convergence. In fact, convergence of medical and information technologies is occurring at a near exponential rate. One of the greatest challenges for healthcare organizations today is how can they take what have long been disparate support functions (HTM & IT) and effectively integrate those functions in a manner that adequately supports the new converged technologies. This session suggests how the industry can adopt and adapt existing standards (like ISO 20000-1 and ITIL v3) to develop a new medical and information technology service management (MITSM) standard that would serve as an effective roadmap for HTM and IT collaboration and establish define a common nomenclature. This session further discusses how this roadmap could then serve as a guide for the development and adoption of best practices.

Medical Device Security: A Discussion between Manufacturers and Providers11:15 a.m.–12:00 p.m.The relationship between information security and safety in medical devices is well established. A compromise of the integrity or availability of medical device software/hardware/firmware or the health data it manages can create patient safety hazards. Also, compromises of patient privacy is also a concern to providers and patients. Providers are at the front lines of medical device security, but they can’t secure these devices without medical device manufacturers creating devices with sufficient security controls with a demonstrated commitment to updating devices to address new threats and vulnerabilities. The FDA has recognized, in its November 2009 communication, that cybersecurity for networked medical devices is a shared responsibility between providers and manufacturers. ISO/IEC 80001, particularly 80001-1, also addresses some of these shared responsibilities. This proposed panel discussion brings together device manufacturers and healthcare delivery organizations to share their leading practices, expectations, and challenges; they’ll discuss ways they can collaborate to make medical devices more secure through closer cooperation; as well as the future of medical device and medical technology security.

The Mile High City – Denver, COThe AAMI 2015 Conference & Expo will take place at the Colorado Convention Center, located in the heart of Denver.
