Keynote: Connecting at the Intersection of Technology and Healthcare

Healthcare in the United States continues to evolve in its use of information technology. Health Information Exchange (HIE) organizations have been in existence across the country for nearly two decades and we are now beginning to see the benefits of the unique qualities they bring and the value to both the quality of patient care and the cost of care. This keynote address will focus on the evolution of the HIEs to their present state, the benefits and value they create for the various involved stakeholders in the healthcare arena, and further developments we expect to see in this arena as HIEs continue to evolve.
