"IT Optimization in Healthcare" takes place Oct. 21-23, 2009 in Puerto Rico.

President Obama recently stated that his priorities were to put the economy on track and “reduce the cost of healthcare.” The way to do this, he pointed out, was through the deployment of emerging technologies. To support those responsible for carrying out the president’s mission, Informed Market Intelligence (IMI) has launched the “IT Optimization in HealthCare” Forum, to be held in Puerto Rico in October.

"Informed Market Intelligence provides access to thought leadership from those subject matter experts who will ultimately be responsible for achieving the new administration’s mandate for better and more efficient healthcare,” said Karen Royan, President of IMI Forums. "For an independent, journalistic perspective, I am pleased to announce that Anthony Guerra, Editor-in-Chief of Healthcare Informatics, will be joining us at the ITOH forum in October.”

IT Optimization in HealthCare invites senior IT and Technology experts, users and practitioners to discuss how healthcare technologies can be harnessed for improved outcomes.

According to Guerra, “Despite the administration’s call to action and imminent deadlines, healthcare IT systems cannot be thrown in without proper preparation and a long-term vision of what success means. Forums like ITOH can be valuable venues to exchange ideas about, not just how to connect one application to another, but when, where and how hospital employees and admitting physicians can be properly engaged in the selection, implementation and actual use of these complicated products.”

Added Royan, "We want attendees to leave this forum with an action list that enhances overall healthcare quality and controls costs for our nation’s most important industry."

"IT Optimization in Healthcare" takes place Oct. 21-23, 2009 in Puerto Rico.
