Quality, Safety and Meaningful Use in Healthcare Technology: A Message from ONC

Sunday, February 28, 8:45 AM - 9:45 AM While American medicine has been at the confluence of pressures to improve the quality and safety of care, the introduction of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) offered a renewed call for the integration of information technology in all aspects of health care delivery. Many clinicians are uncertain about the relationship of these two national program initiatives--to improve quality and promote the adoption, and meaningful use, of health information technology. We will examine current national health care policy in both quality/safety and information technology with the expectation of describing one improvement path for institutions and individuals with performance expectations in both domains.

David Hunt, MD, FACS
Chief Medical Officer and Acting Director, Office of Health Information Technology Adoption - Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT
