Information technology staff must be up-to-date on the latest trends and technological innovations from electronic medical records to billing software and video interpretation. Information technology, not just patient care, is a now key differentiator among hospitals and health care organizations.

The CIO Healthcare Summit is a unique opportunity to debate and interact with C-level IT executives, research analysts and innovative thought leaders in a relaxed, but energized business environment.
