More than 300 people attended the one-day event November 8 at the Sacramento Convention Center designed for stakeholders involved in improving healthcare through the electronic exchange of critical patient information. This page provides information and presentations.
Primary objectives for the day were to help stakeholders understand how they and their organizations fit into the big picture of health information exchange (HIE) in California; enable stakeholders to learn about assets and services available in California that are key to planning for clinical and administrative integration; and provide a way for stakeholders to have a voice in shaping the future of HIE in the State.
