True innovation requires out-of-the-box thinking about collaboration for creating fresh solutions for the problems facing our current healthcare system. WHIT v.4.0 is the one event where healthcare provider, payer, government and technology executive decision makers have the unique opportunity to learn how to position themselves to challenge existing assumptions, highlight new innovation spaces, clarify and build on opportunities and choreograph their organizations’ response to a constantly evolving information age. Attendees will hear about the latest cutting-edge tools, strategies and techniques they need to increase their organizations’ capacity for change, and will experience first-hand the technologies born from innovation that revolutionize the way care is delivered and accessed.

In 2007 nearly 65% of the participants defined themselves as responsible for technology investment decisions with 72% at the executive director level or above. In addition, over 54% of the audience came from either a hospital system, health plan or government agency.

1. Cutting-edge innovation and next generation best resources
2. Analysis of the technologies that are right for your organization
3. Effective execution and integration strategies
4. Legislation, policies and regulations impacting implementation and operations
