"Health Technology: Incentives and Implications,” on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, at 2:00 PM ET
 
 
**********
 
The passage of recent health IT legislation has major implications for the delivery of health information to the American people. Already, the Department of Health & Human Services has moved to provide $34 billion in incentives for the meaningful use of health technology. The rapid adoption of health information technology means federal agencies will need to work closely with HHS, local governments, and medical providers. Join us for this complimentary webinar to learn:
 
  • How federal agencies are partnering with the Department of Health & Human Services, states and the private sector to prepare for major changes to our health care system
  • How health information and health care is driving federal IT activities
  • The vital role technology will play in the “meaningful use” of health information
 

Confirmed speakers:

  • Ted Smith, Senior Advisor, Innovation and Technology Transfer, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT
  • Jitin Asnaani, Standards and Interoperability Initiative Coordinator, Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT

Moderated by:

  • Tim Clark, Editor at Large, Government Executive
