The Colloquium
|
The Future of Technology, the Internet and EDI in Healthcare It is broadly recognized that the nation's healthcare system is a late adopter of advanced technology for operations and clinical systems when compared to many other American industries. Main frame legacy systems and the general lack of EDI characterize the technology status of many health-care payors and providers. It is anticipated that healthcare technology will be transformed in the coming years through the adoption of EDI and the impact of the Internet. |
Healthcare Transactions and Code Sets, Privacy, Data Security and HIPAA No policy issue is more pervasive in healthcare than the concern for privacy and data security. These issues of public concern are now being addressed by the vast regulatory mandate imposed on the health system under HIPAA. HIPAA will mandate the use of certain new transactions and code sets and an overlay of privacy and security regulations. |
Where The Colloquium takes place on the campus of Harvard University. Morning, afternoon and evening classes are held in Annenberg Hall of the Memorial Hall complex. Lunches and discussion groups will be held at Annenberg Hall with overflow facilities at the Harvard Faculty Club and the Inn at Harvard. |
When Monday, August 19 through Friday, August 23, 2002. Registration begins on Monday, August 19 at Noon. |
Team Discount The challenge of technology transformation and privacy, security and HIPAA/GLB compliance in healthcare requires teamwork. Healthcare executives, senior clinicians, chief information officers, legal counsel, compliance officers, privacy and security officials, quality assurance and risk managers and trustees must work together to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities of new technologies. For this reason the Colloquium offers special discounts for teams registering from the same institution. |
Who Should Attend
|
Interactive Discussion Groups The Colloquium luncheons at Annenberg Hall, the Harvard Faculty Club and The Inn at Harvard will be divided into tables of ten to twelve. This approach will enhance professional networking and interactive discus-sions of the topics addressed by the Colloquium. |

Today, Harvard has grown to become a great undergraduate and graduate research University, with more than 18,000 degree candidates enrolled. |
