As the second Obama Administration begins, the Affordable Care Act takes its place beside HIPAA and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as pillars of an ongoing legislative push to improve patient care and quality, expand access to care, make care delivery more efficient and improve its coordination. HIMSS, in its health IT leadership role, provides multiple resources to equip its members to understand the opportunities for health IT in healthcare reform and federal healthcare reform activities. At HIMSS13, healthcare reform’s reach will extend throughout ground-breaking educational sessions –including 6 general education and symposia sessions on quality, reimbursement, integration and process improvement – and across an exhibit area filled with innovations and management solutions. HIMSS13 is the right place for finding exactly the healthcare reform knowledge and know-how you need – right now.
