Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is essential and a high priority for the healthcare industry – now more than ever. As recognition of the importance of HIT continues to grow, so is the role of the clinician leader. They are actively engaged and involved in the selection, development and implementation of HIT.
However, HIT implementation must be part of the healthcare organization overall strategic plan. The decision-making process, as well as implementation of HIT cannot be done successfully without the involvement of the senior-level executives responsible for the organization’s overall strategic plan. This organizational strategic plan must ultimately meet the constraints of a lean economy, rapidly changing technologies, and an unprecedented need to provide quality services at affordable prices.
Modern Healthcare Leadership Forum: Transforming Healthcare through Clinical Informatics is a conference that is developed in association with AMDIS, the premier professional organization for physicians interested in and responsible for healthcare information technology. The Leadership Forum is designed to offer clinician leaders, whether in a small group practice or a large, multi-hospital enterprise, an unparalleled opportunity to take their active and influential role and learn from high-level continuing education, collaborate and share best practices, as well as network with industry leaders.
For senior-level executives, Modern Healthcare Leadership Forum: Transforming Healthcare through Clinical Informatics represents an opportunity to have a direct dialogue with clinician leaders in the development and investment of key HIT technologies, learn best practices and explore HIT solutions that will advance their clinical operation, patient safety and quality, as well as the overall financial success of their organizations.
