Is There a Consumer Pay-off for Investing in Health Information Technology?

The California HealthCare Foundation will present findings from a ground-breaking new study on Americans' attitudes and experiences with health information technology. The findings document-for the first time-specific health benefits reported by people who have been using personal health records. Other findings will provide new insights to people developing new health information technologies and encouraging their use-with sometimes surprising results. Join us for a provocative conversation.

By promoting innovations in care and broader access to information, our goal is to ensure that all Californians can get the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford.
