The 2012 HINZ Seminar Series continues with breakfast with Dr Michael Stearns. Join us...

In Search of meaningful use

A new way of stimulating systemic Health IT change is currently taking hold with some spectacular results.

Until recently the US, like most other countries, approached the implementation of health IT by commissioning and funding projects, then looking for ways in which successful projects could be scaled
up and replicated across the country. At the 2011 Conference we heard from Dr David Blumenthal, Architect of ‘Meaningful Use’,
and the new way in which health sector automation is being approached.

This HINZ breakfast is your opportunity to learn more about Meaningful Use and why this approach is succeeding where other approaches have failed.
