The dynamic use of IT is transforming healthcare delivery, payment, and policy.
As we near critical health policy deadlines, it is essential for the federal sector to understand how secure, interoperable health data exchange can improve the quality, cost-effectiveness, access, and safety of care. Laws, such as the Affordable Care Act, are influencing how IT must be harnessed by providers and payers in the public & private sectors.
Join seasoned healthcare policy leaders in a lively discussion on how today’s health IT initiatives (such as meaningful use) will catalyze healthcare transformation. How harnessing the power of IT enables better decisions through clinical and business intelligence; lessons learned from the Recovery Act’s Beacon communities; engaging patients as active players in their own care; and, how electronic, secure information exchange of health information enables an improved delivery system.
This discussion is designed as a primer for in-depth learning and networking at the Government Health IT Conference in Washington DC on June 11th & 12th at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
