On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law by President Barack Obama, which included billions of federal dollars in health care provisions. The World Health Care Congress Leadership Summit on Health Care Reform is designed to discuss the aims of this Act and its impact on Health IT, including integration, adoption and privacy, Medicare/Medicaid, Payment Reform, Comparative Effectiveness Research, and Universal Coverage. Many industry insiders anticipate significant system-wide changes, yet there are many obstacles and objections that must be overcome in order to create true opportunity. This ground-breaking Leadership Summit will provide an open forum for action-oriented executives to educate themselves on the components of the stimulus funding, engage policymakers in candid dialogue, and ready their organizations for the future of health care.
