Leveraging Federal Stimulus Funding for Healthcare IT Innovations

It’s one thing to request stimulus funding. It’s another thing to know how to use it. It’s because of this challenge and the unique collaboration opportunities between a health care organization’s academia and operational function that The Ohio State University Medical Center’s Center for IT Innovations in Healthcare presents its third annual summit: Forging Innovative Healthcare IT Solutions with Stimulus Funding.

The economy has provided a exceptional opportunity for the health care industry to re-evaluate how to best utilize resources while being fiscally responsible. Stimulus funding opens the flood gates to exploring the relationship and collaboration prospects between the academia and operational functions of a medical center. How can the two work together to forge a path of innovation and progress?

It’s with this question in mind that the Ohio State University Medical Center’s Center for IT Innovations in Healthcare (CITIH) hosts their third annual summit. Bringing together distinguished and solution-generating leadership, CITIH invites those involved in the evolution of health care technology to gather, discuss and document ideas and solutions for the emerging relationship between the academic and operational functions.
