New England HIMSS 5th Annual Public Policy Forum

Next week I'll be attending the 5th Annual Public Policy Forum being put together by the New England Chapter of HIMSS.

If you happen to be in the New England (especially Boston) area, it should be an interesting event.  Speakers include leading elected officials from the New England area, as well as C-levels from a number of healthcare organizations, insurers and officials from public health agencies.

A quick review of the agenda follows:

• The National HIMSS Healthcare Reform Perspective
• A Look at the Dynamics of Public and Private Initiatives
• A Review of Existing Health Policy Reform at the State Level: What Works / What Does Not
• A Panel Discussion on ARRA and the Impact on Providers
• Health Plans and their 2010 Challenges
• The National Perspective from the United States Senate

I hope to see you there, and I expect to be tweeting along as it goes.
