Design and Develop a Cogent Health IT Strategy

As the health care industry continues to evolve in conjunction with the challenges of upcoming HITECH requirements, the need for a health information technology strategy which conforms to government standards while fitting your organization has never been greater. This program, comprised of four modules, provides health care leaders with the knowledge necessary to design, develop, and deploy a cogent health IT strategy.

Along with government policy initiatives, the economic landscape is driving an immediate need for health care organizations to improve efficiency and reduce costs, while maintaining a sharp focus on quality and patient reported outcomes, such as patient satisfaction. Hospitals and health systems can improve these metrics through efficient and effective use of health information technology.

Gain Executive Level Insight into Health Information Technology Strategy

The modules in this series are designed specifically for senior level professionals and executives with technology responsibilities from various avenues of the health care industry seeking to gain a greater knowledge of health information technology.

Industry thought leaders and Harvard faculty translate information technology methodologies into the language of health care and provide a balance of strategic thinking, practical tools, and effective tactics for implementation at participants’ organizations.

Network and Collaborate with Health IT Professionals, Worldwide

Past participants from the program represent thought leaders and executives from diverse industries and organizations in ten countries.

The interactive program design advances participants’ capacity to design, develop, and deliver health information technology projects using industry best practices, a paramount ability to having a positive impact on an organization’s mission and, ultimately, its margin.

Four 90 minute virtual seminars will take place between Modules II & III. These virtual seminars will cover topics relevant to health information technology and will continue to add value for participants during the intersession between modules.
