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

    The entire healthcare ecosystem is brainstorming 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.
