”Healthcare Economics, HIT, and Informatics”
It is accepted that the high and growing costs of healthcare in the U.S. today are unsustainable. The purpose of this year’s retreat is to examine healthcare economics, the role of health information technology, and the potential contributions from the biomedical and health informatics community in relation to the economic circumstances forecasted for the healthcare system. During scientific sessions starting on Friday, February 4, 2011, Saturday, February 5, 2011, and concluding on Sunday, February 6, 2011, Fellows and guests of the American College of Medical Informatics will address the following key questions:
- How are innovative organizations planning to change the economics of healthcare?
- How does Meaningful Use impact HIT’s role in enabling different economic models to contain costs, vs. maintaining quality?
