The health sector in the United States is the largest and most complex economic and social sector in the world. As policymaker, standards setter, funding source, technology testbed and enterprise user, the federal government is driving the adoption of information technology in health care, which promises to revolutionize how health care is managed and delivered.
Produced by 1105 Goverment Information Group, the publishers of Federal Computer Week, Government Computer News, Washington Technology and Defense Systems , Government Health IT keeps health IT decision-makers — in government and industry — abreast of public policy and its applications to the health care services community. Government Health IT provides a roundup of health IT news from across the United States and abroad, guiding health care professionals through the maze of policy, technology, business and financing issues shaping the evolving health IT landscape.
