Why Attend?

The proposed conference is different from other meetings focused on HIT adoption in that it:

• Has a regional, rather than national or local focus. This meeting is intended to serve as a model for future regional meetings in other areas of the US.
• Emphasizes a two-way interaction between participants. Approximately half of the main meeting on April 16th will be spent in two-way interactions between participants and/or between participants and panelists of government officials. A primary goal of the meeting is to allow stakeholders to provide feedback to presenters including state and federal government officials.
• Provides a non-commercial forum for working towards a regional consensus regarding HIT. Meeting sponsorship is restricted to non-profit entities (including foundations), health care payers, and government. No funds from HIT vendors will be accepted.
• Has technology-assisted pre and post-conference activities that will provide a forum for effective dialogue.
