- The challenges and opportunities of effectively translating the benefits of electronic health information.
- The value of electronic records to the health care safety net, disaster response and public health reporting.

why
The face of health care is changing and advancements in technology are beginning to transform the way we approach patient care and wellness. Health information technology is at the forefront of this transformation, but its value has not been compellingly conveyed to those who can benefit the most – consumers.
