OPENING KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Enabling the health IT ecosystem – Innovation in Action
Realizing the full potential of health IT will require disruptive change within the U.S. health care delivery system. Health care providers – from doctors to clinics to hospitals – must embrace technology as they key to improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. While many of the basic building blocks for transformation exist today, widespread adoption is still required to truly move forward. Learn what steps must be taken to manage this disruptive change and make an IT-enabled health care delivery system a reality for the entire ecosystem, including consumers, health care providers and payers. Topics include security, privacy, trust, compliance and interoperability between systems, applications and provider networks.
