Registration is now open for the 5th Annual Consumer Health IT Summit hosted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. This popular event is free and sells out each year. Attendance is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
The Consumer Health IT Summit is an all-day meeting that will celebrate important advancements in health IT and equipping individuals with the information and technology they need to manage their health and make more informed decisions about their care. This event brings together federal government and private-sector leaders who are working together to enable consumers to become partners in their health via health IT. This year we will be celebrating Blue Button’s five-year anniversary and efforts to advance consumer access to and use of their health information to achieve better health, better care and lower costs.
