The Long-Term and Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) Health IT (HIT) Summit is the leading health IT conference.  The Summit convenes HIT leaders, policy makers, federal and state grantees, providers, vendors, professionals and standards development organizations to advance policies and initiatives in alignment with the national health care strategy.

The two day Summit provides thought-provoking, interactive sessions to advance priorities, showcase real world implementation successes, and put the spotlight on certified LTPAC technologies.  Summit attendees network with decision-makers and influencers and provide critical insights to move forward the LTPAC Health IT Road Map.  

Each year the Summit advances key strategies and issues - this year’s Summit includes plenary and concurrent sessions, an exhibit hall, an interoperability showcase, poster and dialogue sessions focused upon:

  • Strategies to bridge the gap between LTPAC providers and those incentivized to adopt EHR technology.
  • Advancements in health information exchange and interoperability to improve care coordination.
  • Case studies and research that demonstrate impacts to clinical outcomes, patient safety and cost of care.
