The healthcare system has been under tremendous pressure to meet the increasing demands posed by changing demographics, spread of pandemics and the overall need to control skyrocketing healthcare costs. Over the last decade this has led to the increased significance of technology in healthcare administration. And as it stands today, technology has the power to redefine our healthcare system. The government stimulus program presents an opportunity for most healthcare institutions to improve the quality of care in an era marked by restrictive budgets. It is now up to the CIO to define how IT can be used to: efficiently integrate data and information across various departments; decrease operation and management costs; improve operational efficiency and manage performance; while maintaining patient safety and quality of care. The IPMI Healthcare IT Institute is a 2 ½ day event designed to address these issues by facilitating dialogue among leading Healthcare CIO’s who are increasingly tasked to function as strategists, visionaries and operational experts.
