“Our 2014 Intel Innovation Awards finalists represent the vibrant and thriving health IT industry that we have in Georgia,” said Tino Mantella, CEO and President of Technology Association of Georgia, a founding partner of the Health IT Leadership Summit. “These innovative and growing companies are what helps make Georgia the nation’s leader in health IT and a driver for the 17+ percent growth we have seen in the sector’s employment in the past five years.”
Innovation in healthcare continues to be a cornerstone of the Summit, which will focus on the topic not only via the Intel Innovation Award, but also through a student award for health IT innovation and a keynote presentation from athenahealth CEO Jonathan Bush on “Where Does it Hurt in Healthcare?” Panel discussions on the clinical application of health IT, advances in predictive medicine, population health management, the health IT investment boom, and improving post-acute care will also touch on the topic.
