Description

This is one of those moments where the stars are aligned." -President Barack Obama on Healthcare reforms

The entire healthcare ecosystem is brain-storming on ways to cut costs and innovate. The health care providers have told President Barack Obama that they will work to reduce cost increases in the nation's health-care system by $2 trillion over the next decade. The current stimulus plan has allocated $20 billion for improving IT in healthcare.

* What opportunities do these times open up for an entrepreneur?
* What could be the new business models that IT can enable in healthcare to help providers achieve this massive cost reduction while improving the quality of service?
* What are the "creative" approaches to funding that an entrepreneur should know about in the current economy?
* Are there any whitespaces that investors might be looking to invest in, as healthcare once again becomes a central focus and is projected to rise to 21% of GDP by 2019 (government's estimate)?
* What advantages does being in Boston provide?

Come learn about the key business drivers and IT needs of this "recession proof" industry as we engage in an exciting discussion with a panel of experts who are leveraging the power of information and communication technologies to improve quality of life.
