Join the eHealth Initiative on January 25-26, 2010 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. to discuss and debate the rapidly changing world of health information technology. This unique conference will draw on the wisdom of some of the country’s top health and information technology experts to discuss policy and what is practical and possible.
The conference will highlight specific examples of how eHealth is being implemented across the country, as well as raise challenging questions of how to move the country towards the universal meaningful use of HIT by 2014. Policymakers, industry leaders, clinicians and patients will participate in discussion and debates revolving around eHealth issues.
This conference will be the first in 2010 to put meaningful use and other policy panaceas under a critical microscope and help attendees to understand how real-world examples of health information and health IT can be used to improve quality, safety, and efficiency.
