As part of the stimulus package\, signed into law by Presi dent Obama\, $19 billion is now dedicated to transforming the patient re cord to an electronic format and adopting standards\, to be developed by Jan 1\, 2010. \;\n \;\nPractitioners will receive incentives to use \;\n \;\n Heath Information Technology (HIT) standards that mu st be developed by Jan. 1\, 2010. \;\nPhysicians and other practiti oners will be eligible for up to $64\,000 in incentive payments over sev eral years for the meaningful use of an electronic medical record for pa tients. By 2015 all physicians will be required to use electronic record s in their practice. \;\n Hospitals will also be eligible for $1-9 mi llion in incentives for meaningful EHR adoption. \;\nThis stimulus pa ckage is expected to create new opportunities for entrepreneurs to provi de technology and services to healthcare practitioners and organizations . It will also focus on developing the health IT workforce that institut ions like OHSU are already doing\, creating new career opportunities in this area. \;\n \;\nTIE Oregon has partnered with OHSU and lined u p a great panel of healthcare industry professionals and entrepreneurs w ho have pioneered the development and use of Electronic Health Records\, who will provide insights into this industry and how entrepreneurs can capitalize on this opportunity. \;\n \;\nIf you are looking to ge t into this field this is your opportunity to network and learn! \;\ n\n\nTags: healthcare\, information\, technology\, entrepreneur\, opport unity\, business\, electronic health records\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250456920 URL:http://www.oregon.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?mode=edit&id_e vent=3061&from_where=status_event&id_status_chapter=50¤t_year=2009 &batch_start=0&chapter_region=North%20America&status=1 SUMMARY:TiE Oregon/OHSU: Opportunities for Entrepreneurs in Health IT LOCATION:OHSU - BICC (Biomedical Information Communications Center) theat re : 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road\, Portland or 97239 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090831T013928Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090917T213000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090917T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090831T013928Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090831T154800Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457627 DESCRIPTION:Even though the field of healthcare has made great technologi cal strides in the past few decades the typical patient record still loo ks like the patient record of 50 years ago. As part of the Obama adminis trations effort to modernize this field of healthcare several incentives are being offered to improve this field of healthcare. \;\n \;\n Patient Healthcare Records – what does it involve? \;\n \;\nPHR i nvolves putting patients in control of their health information\, store it in a central location\, and make it easy to share and update. As simp le as it may sound\, the task is complicated because not only do these r ecords need to serve the patients they also need to serve doctors\, nurs es\, hospital administrators\, insurers\, pharmacists\, hospitals\, clin ics and government regulators. \;\n \;\nJoin us on Sept 17th for a discussion of this important field of healthcare and the entrepreneuri al opportunities. \;\n \;\n \;\nPanelists include: \;\n& #13\;\n \;\n • Grad Conn \, Senior Director Microsoft HealthVault\ , Microsoft \;\n • Phil Marshall\, VP of Product Strategy\, Web MD \;\n • Will McKinney\, Vice President\, Consumer Directed Heal th Systems Regence\, Regence \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nPanel will be moderated by Malcolm Costello\, Senior Vice President of Marketing an d Strategic Relations\, Kryptiq \;\n \;\n \;\n \; \n \;\n \n\nTags: healthcare it microsoft portland healthvault webmd\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250457627 URL:http://oregon.tie.org/chapterHome/events/viewListEventPagePT?event_vi ew_slot=true&id_event=3611&keyword=health&from_where=search&from_search= true&batch_start=0&from_val=calendar SUMMARY:TiE Oregon - HealtCare IT - Patient Health Records LOCATION:OHSU - BICC (Biomedical Information Communications Center) theat re : 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road\, Portland or 97239 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091004T174357Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091008T193000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091008T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091004T174357Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091004T174357Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457821 DESCRIPTION:The Obama Administration has allocated over $36 billion from the economic stimulus package to fund the "\;meaningful use"\; o f electronic health records.
