“With the announcements of high-tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and IBM investing in telehealth technologies and the recent appropriation of billions of federal stimulus dollars for health IT initiatives, telehealth thought leaders from around the world will look to capitalize on the industry’s recent momentum when they converge on Boise for a Telehealth Summit focused on behavior disorders, April 23-24.
“The public is catching on to the fact that telehealth—the use of technology to deliver health related services remotely—holds tremendous promise for improving quality of care, broadening access to care, and reducing the costs of care,” noted Ron Oberleitner, CEO of Boise-based telehealth company and event co-sponsor Caring Technologies. “This gathering will bring together some of the top minds in the industry to discuss ways we can accelerate adoption, refine technologies, and revolutionize the world of healthcare for especially underserved behavior disorders.”
