Former FBI Executive Assistant Director to Keynote ATM & Mobile Innovation Summit

LOUISVILLE, KY (PRWEB) August 06, 2014

Networld Media Group has announced that Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike Services, will keynote the ATM & Mobile Innovation Summit, which is to be held on Sept. 10-12 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.

Henry retired as FBI executive assistant director in 2012. During his career as a special agent, he served in three FBI field offices and at the bureau’s headquarters.

Henry is credited with boosting the FBI’s computer crime and cybersecurity investigative capabilities. He oversaw computer crime investigations spanning the globe, including denial-of-service attacks, bank and corporate breaches, and state-sponsored intrusions. He posted FBI cyber experts in police agencies around the world, including the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine and Estonia.

During his keynote presentation on Sept. 12, Henry will shock attendees with the realities of today’s hackers and the vulnerabilities everyone in the banking and payments industries face. Following his speech, CrowdStrike’s crack team of security gurus will demonstrate how to protect today’s financial channels from compromise.

“The financial services sector and consumers are under attack from criminals around the world,” said Henry. “They aggressively and systematically seek personal and financial information for economic gain, and new strategies and processes are required to better protect and maintain resilient computer networks.”

The Summit is a partnership between Networld Media Group and the Electronic Funds Transfer Association (EFTA) and is sponsored by the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) and MagTek.

The event will feature about 40 speakers, including representatives from organizations like PAI, Bitpay, RoboCoin, SECU of Maryland, TecBan, US Bank, MasterCard, Early Warning, Glenbrook, Citi, CU24, Bank of America, Federal Reserve Financial Services, and several government agencies, regulators and attorneys.

This Summit has been created specifically for financial institutions, payment companies, analyst and legal firms, processors, card networks, security firms, large retailers and ATM deployers. Registration is now open at atmandmobilesummit.com, and early-bird pricing is in effect until Friday, August 8th.

Estes Park Medical Center Selects Summit Healthcare to Integrate Meditech HCIS and MEDHOST EDIS System

Braintree, Mass. (PRWEB) December 11, 2013

Estes Park Medical Center (EPMC) has selected Summit Healthcare as their vendor partner to streamline integration between their Meditech HCIS and MEDHOST EDIS. EPMC is a 25-bed critical-access acute-care hospital located in Estes Park, Colorado.

Health information technology has dramatically improved the quality of healthcare delivery, increased patient safety, and decreased medical errors. However, to accomplish these improvements, organizations must find the strongest system integration possible. Estes Park Medical Center uses Meditech 6.0 as their main hospital information system (HCIS) and is implementing MEDHOST as their emergency department information system (EDIS), with a planned go-live of March 4, 2014. The different systems pose unique challenges related to the integration of emergency department data with the hospital’s electronic medical record. Information such as orders, results, and medications administered must be integrated between the HCIS and the EDIS to give clinicians rapid access to critical patient data.

EPMC looked to Summit Healthcare as an integration leader and for Summit’s experience with Meditech and MEDHOST to handle this unique integration. Leveraging the Summit Interoperability technology platform and expertise, Summit Healthcare will be tasked with ensuring the integration is seamless between the systems. The Summit EDIS integration solution goes well beyond simply establishing and managing EDIS integration projects by providing increased efficiencies, better patient outcomes, and helping to create a complete electronic medical record.

The integration process between the systems will be near real-time including the ability to process critical messages between the systems within one minute of being received. The first focus will be to integrate Laboratory results, Radiology reports, and in/outbound ADT feeds.

“As we embark on integrating our Meditech HCIS with our MEDHOST EDIS, working with Summit Healthcare is the clear solution with their strong technology offering and unique expertise. We look forward to working toward a successful live date,” said Gary Hall, Chief Information Officer, Estes Park Medical Center.

“As EPMC faces the challenge of integrating their Meditech HCIS with their MEDHOST EDIS, Summit Healthcare is eager to step up to the challenge of this unique project,” said Ted Rossi, CEO, Summit Healthcare. “This tighter level of integration will allow for better patient care and safety which are crucial factors for all hospitals today. Summit Healthcare is committed to helping organizations continue to march forward in supporting all levels of integration.”

Living in Digital Times Presents Silvers Summit at the 2014 International CES

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 23, 2013

Living in Digital Times announced today that Ford Motor Company will present the opening keynote address at the Silvers Summit at the 2014 International CES®. Keynote speaker Sheryl Connelly, global head of trends and futuring for Ford Motor Company, will present an exclusive insider’s look at how global trends are impacting the boomer and aging populations.

Companies including Microsoft, ADT, BMW Group Designworks USA, Qualcomm Life, Lively, GreatCall and Independa are just a few others on the agenda that will showcase how they are meeting the challenges to create products and services for this audience. And card carrying AARP members will judge the results of a product competition for this audience.

With 78 million baby boomers in the U.S., this demographic holds 70 percent of U.S. disposable income and spend the most on technology.

“Technology is constructing a new vision of what it means to age,” said Robin Raskin, Founder of Living in Digital Times. “Baby boomers and seniors have the free time, disposable income and passion to demand that technology be curated for their lifestyles.”

The Silvers Summit will explore new technologies in health monitoring, home security, communication, and social media. Trends and insights about the internet of things, robotics and mobile apps will also be explored in the context of this unique audience.

“This year’s Summit will also take a sharp look at barriers to market entry,” said Jill Gilbert, producer of the Silvers Summit. “Why for example, are the boomer and aging markets drastically expanding while widespread consumer adoption is still unrealized? By coming together at the conference, we will create momentum.”

“The 50-plus age group is connected like never before to what is going on in the world and to other generations, swept up by technology and global trends that are far-reaching,” said Sheryl Connelly. “It’s an exciting time to be a boomer because innovation and creativity continue to change the nature of our daily lives.”

Transforming Retirement—A Digital Pioneer Reinvents an Industry: Dr. Neil Clark Warren, Founder and CEO of eHarmony.com, will discuss how he carved out his own niche in the baby boomer and digital marketplaces and how you can capitalize on this demographic too.

Design Useful Things We LOVE!

Learn ways to design and market products that are not only useful and simple to use, but incorporate beauty and the fun factor baby boomers crave.

The Silvers Summit will also be hosting the 50+ IT List, a fun, interactive competition that will reveal what consumers really want in their products as tech innovators pitch to a curated board of AARP member judges.

The Silvers Summit, produced by Living in Digital Times, will be held during CES on Tuesday, January 7th, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Las Vegas Convention and World Trade Center (LVCC).

His presentation will pull material from three of his six bestselling books, Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life, It’s Called Work for a Reason and People Are Idiots and I Can Prove It.

Larry attacks traditional business wisdom and offers simple truths in his caustic, thought-provoking and hilarious style. He offers a realistic approach that will work for anyone, at any time and in any business, Butler said.

“Our attendees are some of the most respected and brightest in the industry, so we knew we had to bring in someone who would be direct and ‘real’ with them,” she said.

Attendees of the Fast Casual Executive Summit will enjoy an exclusive Sunday evening Q&A session and a post-discussion cocktail party with Winget, who has starred in his own television series and appeared in national television commercials.

The two-and-a-half day event also features a fast casual restaurant food tour, other keynote and breakout educational sessions, sponsor demonstrations of the latest products and an dinner party at Coors Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies.
