Summary of Event
The goal is to focus on how information technology is changing the
organization of the healthcare industry. It is transforming the relationships
between purchasers, plans, patients, providers, and manufacturers. The vision of
a seamless, transparent, real-time IT enabled healthcare system has met
tantalizing successes as well as frustrating failures. The fierce competitive
battles over new applications, technologies and services conceal the larger
dimensions of the transformation that is taking place and the distinctive
barriers it faces within the 1.5 trillion dollar U.S. Healthcare system.
