(Nov 2009) The purpose of this seminar/infocast is to review the status of congressional health reform efforts and to focus on the potential impact those efforts will have on racial and ethnic minorities and the clinicians who treat the above patients.
This seminar/infocast will address health reform in three areas of focus:
- Health Information Technology (HIT)
- Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER)
- Congressional Health Reform: Implications for a Diverse America
We feel that both CER and HIT will play seminal roles in both addressing and amelioration of health disparities. We wish to contribute to the education of those who listen to this important seminar/infocast as to the evolution of health system.
