"Health IT innovation and mHealth are two disruptive movements
within the healthcare industry driving tremendous change, challenge
and opportunity," says Samuel J. King, FHIMSS, president of the
HIMSS Southern California Chapter. "More and more healthcare
organizations are looking to mobile technology and innovation to
improve patient care, gain operational efficiencies and adhere to
government regulations and industry mandates. As these converged
technologies continue to advance, adoption of mobile health will
soar."
"The U.S. healthcare system is too expensive, leaving many
citizens uninsured, and lags many countries in key performance
measures," says Vijay Gurbaxani, professor and director, UC
Irvine's Center for Digital Transformation. "Information
technologies have the potential to transform the healthcare system
and this Summit will foster discussion and debate that will empower
stakeholders to act to reform the system."
The Health IT Innovation Summit agenda is designed to address
key issues impacting healthcare providers and patients, as well as
legal and public policy, with a focus on the challenges and
opportunities facing mobile health. Additionally, attendees will
gather valuable takeaways on how to capitalize on market trends by
leveraging the expertise and offerings provided by Ingram Micro and
its established healthcare IT consultant partner network, including
solution providers and technology vendors. The event will conclude
with a targeted technology showcase and networking reception
featuring the latest innovations and solutions available to
healthcare professionals and organizations.
"We're bringing together many of the healthcare industry's most
knowledgeable technology and business leaders to help establish a
broader understanding of the most important issues shaping mobile
technology in the healthcare market and drive positive change
across the industry," says Michael Humke, executive director,
Healthcare, Public Sector and Vertical Markets, Ingram Micro U.S.
"This Summit is a must for healthcare organizations and
practitioners who are committed to leading the market and want to
learn more about how technology can further enable their success
and help deliver the utmost in patient care."
Leading up to June 28, news and updates on the event will be
