National Health IT Week 2010 is a partner-led collaborative forum where public and private healthcare constituents work in unison to educate industry and policy stakeholders on the value of health IT.
"Times of transformation create significant opportunities for positive change," said Ric Hughes, president and CEO of Systems Alliance. "From policy and economic factors to advances in technology, there has never been a better time for the health IT community to come together under one umbrella to examine the current policy landscape and raise awareness of the benefits of health IT for the U.S. healthcare system."
Initiated in 2006 by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), National Health IT Week has emerged as a landmark occasion for bringing together diverse national healthcare stakeholders to develop neutral, common ground for the advancement of health IT adoption with "One Voice, One Vision."
