In early January, the Cambridge Healthtech Institute announced that emergency physician and AMA President-Elect Steven Stack, MD, FACEP, will speak at the Medical Informatics World Conference, which is May 4–5 in Boston. Dr. Stack will provide an overview of the latest opportunities to improve patient care and safety in the midst of the industry’s greatest changes, such as new electronic health record and telemedicine technologies and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The session will explore how recent legislative and regulatory requirements are impacting physicians and how technology can be leveraged to overcome existing challenges, increase efficiencies, and ultimately improve patient care.
“I think some of the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology,” said Dr. Stack in the announcement. “The rapid pace of innovation in digital health is creating new opportunities for patients and physicians to be more actively engaged in their health and wellness but only if we can reasonably connect the flood of data to a patient’s journey through the health care system.”
