National Health IT Week to focus on ARRA and healthcare reform

This September, Unitiv, as a partner in the advancement of health information technology, will join approximately 75 public and private sector organizations in Washington, D.C., to participate in the Fourth Annual National Health IT Week (September 21-25, 2009). With 2009 designated by the current Administration as the Year of Healthcare Transformation, the timing has never been better to invest in bringing tangible enhancements to our nation's healthcare system via healthcare information technology -- a topic front and center at this year's partner-initiated National Health IT Week events and publications.

National Health IT Week 2009 will aim to educate and raise awareness among industry and policy stakeholders about leading health IT policy issues. Activities will focus on the recent developments surrounding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and healthcare reform.

Initiated in 2006 by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), National Health IT Week has emerged as a landmark occasion for bringing together diverse national healthcare stakeholders, who partner in developing neutral, common ground for the advancement of health IT adoption with "One Voice, One Vision."
