OVERVIEW

The recently-enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide more than $35 billion in funding for health information technology. The health care reform debate in the Congress seems to be coming to a head this summer. In this context, health care leaders are grappling with how new emerging policies will impact their organizations and how to assure that their organizations are well-positioned to access the significant stimulus funding now emerging from the federal government.

The HIT Symposium, conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, is a must-attend event, that will help leaders from every sector of health care, including those representing consumers, employers, payers, providers, and vendors, gain timely intelligence and practical insights on how to benefit from the health IT programs and provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Participants will hear from the policy leaders responsible for many of the programs within the federal government, as well as nationally recognized experts on topics such as privacy, financing, standards, and technical assistance. In addition, practical insights on how to effectively access funds from grant programs, and how to support effective health IT adoption will be shared by veterans in the field. The final day of the Symposium will be devoted to the role of health IT in health care reform, which promises to be a hot topic as Congress deliberates health care reform legislation in the next two months.

The Health Information Technology Symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the only in-depth executive education event on health information technology in the United States. It is a must-attend event for anyone who is responsible for leading and developing programs responsive to the health IT provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Register today!
