Latinos and Health Information Technology

House Visitors Center, Room HVC201AB

Washington, DC 20230

Panel Descriptions:  Health Information Technology (HIT) is the tool but the real goal is something that transcends health IT.  It’s better quality care, cost-effective, patient-centered care.

HIT is the tool through which ultimately health care providers will give, not just better care, but better health outcomes. LISTA believes HIT will give many Small business especially Latinos tech businesses and opportunity to grow along with this growing industry, although a tall order HIT will stimulate the economy and develop a new opportunity for all Americans.  Latinos will be an indispensable part of this growing industry. At this luncheon we will feature experts who will share their ideas on HIT, broadband adoption and other topics of interest to the Latino community.
