New York, NY (PRWEB) June 26, 2009 -- The Institute for Health Technology Transformation (iHT2) announced a number of new initiatives and year round educational programs designed to foster the meaningful use of healthcare technology today.

The Institute for Health Technology Transformation announces a number of new programs that will drive innovation, education, and provide a critical understanding of how technology applications, solutions and devices can improve the quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare. Our new programs include: educational workshops, topical newsletters, access to industry thought leaders, peer reviewed research, high level conferences, webinars, focus groups, topic specific committees, and other unique initiatives allowing individuals and organizations access to resources that will enable them to leverage the full value of healthcare technology.

"Healthcare is an industry in crisis, with rising costs and many left without proper care. The Institute and its partners realize that technology can have a transformative effect if utilized properly," said Waco Hoover, the Institute's CEO. "We look forward to working with a multitude of industry stakeholders and providing valuable programs that foster the use and growth of technology that will result in a more efficient and better healthcare system for all."

Technology in-and-of itself will not solve the deep challenges facing our healthcare system nor will it alone ensure more accessible and higher quality care. Realizing the benefits of technology across the healthcare continuum is a complex, under-utilized and often misunderstood process. Stakeholder collaboration underscores the Institute's focus working to ensure technology has a transformative effect at all levels of the healthcare sector.
