National Coordinator for Health IT and acting Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, Karen DeSalvo is featured on the cover of the print campaign. In an exclusive piece, she shares her insights into why the future of healthcare IT lies in interoperability. “I am optimistic that we are within reach of every American having access to their electronic health information when and where it matters most to them,” she states.
“Chronic diseases are among the main causes of death in the U.S., accounting for 86% of healthcare costs, and are increasing worldwide. Healthcare IT provides important tools for managing these conditions and improving outcomes. And technology tools are increasingly important in care delivery in Africa and other places that lack health infrastructure. Our priority at Dell is to invest in intelligent application of technology to improve the health of people across the globe and reduce both the personal and financial burden of ill health,” adds Nick van Terheyden, M.D., chief medical officer for Dell.
