Communities Come Together With National Leaders at May Forum Focused on HIT and Health Information Exchange
Case Studies Featured
WASHINGTON DC, USA -- APRIL 7, 2005 -- Only one event this year brings together national experts, policy makers, local leaders and practitioners to talk about health information technology (HIT) and regional and community health information exchange (), and that’s the Second Annual Connecting Communities for Better Healthsm Learning Forum and Exhibit, May 25-26 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC.
The format will be highly interactive with many opportunities for healthcare stakeholders in states, regions and communities across the nation to work with peers in their own areas, as well as others nationwide. Participants will also have the chance to work with national thought leaders and technical experts on case studies that highlight best practices and lessons learned in key challenge areas that relate to the clinical, financial, legal, organizational, and technical aspects of HIT implementation and health information exchange. These discussions will take place during stakeholder-specific and issue-specific break out sessions throughout the event.
The Connecting Communities for Better Healthsm Forum is an excellent opportunity to work with the world’s best experts and address issues and problems specific to your practice, organization or community. It is an ideal meeting for collaboration teams to attend as a group.
Sponsored by the eHealth Initiative Foundation and the American Health Quality Association, the two-day Forum will provide practical how-to guidance -- including case studies - for communities and clinicians that are grappling with the technical, legal, financial and organizational change aspects of implementing electronic health information technology.
The meeting will showcase emerging technology and methods in HIT implementation and through displays and demonstrations by some of the country’s most innovative organizations, including quality improvement organizations, HIT vendors and consultants, public health experts, non-profit associations, health plans, employers, and more.
