Building the Health IT Workforce

September 29, 2009 ~ Washington, DC

Hosted in partnership with:

Health IT is much on the minds of policymakers for lowering healthcare costs and improving quality. At every rung of the healthcare delivery ladder, IT-enabled devices and systems have the potential to make a critical difference. And with the Obama Administration poised to make major investments in this field, the stakes are higher than ever.

Are the people in place with the education and skills needed to realize the potential of healthcare IT? How will it change the state of practice? How will healthcare delivery models evolve? Will the human capital be readily available to assure successful implementation and longer term maintenance? Will healthcare practitioners from physicians to technicians have the education and skills necessary to realize the upside potential? TechAmerica, in partnership with the Career College Association, hosted an event designed to explore the human capital side of the healthcare IT equation on September 29 in the U.S. House of Representative’s Rayburn office building.
