The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act promised $19 billion for Health IT. Since then, electronic health records and health IT management have emerged as a major component of the healthcare debate. As industry struggles over the costs and benefits of health IT, many government agencies have surged forward---leading the way, from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Department of Health and Human Services.
AFCEA Bethesda’s Health IT Day will bring together senior government leaders and IT professionals from the health and medical communities to foster better communication, share lessons learned, and identify mission-critical health IT issues. This full-day event will focus on federal initiatives and programs that harness current and emerging technologies to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of the health care infrastructure.
