When David Brailer headed the Office of the National Coordinator for Health
IT (ONCHIT) he was the federal government’s principal voice for how technology
could influence health care. After leaving that policy post last year, he founded
Health Evolution Partners, an investment firm looking to back companies producing
innovative technology solutions for health care delivery.
In this GHIT Newsmaker
Webcast, Brailer talks about the balance of government and industry influence
on the future of health care, why companies such as Health Evolution Partners
are needed and how 2007 will be seen as the beginning of a shakeout in the
health IT markets.
