2010 Health Technology Summit: Medtech in the New Healthcare Economy -- Risk or Reward?
April 7, 2010

Grand Hyatt Hotel - Washington DC

Sponsoring Organization: The Institute for Health Technology Studies

Event starts: 9:00am April 7, 2010
Event ends: 4:00pm April 7, 2010

The summit will bring together healthcare economists, policy professionals, medtech industry leaders, academic partners, and clinical professionals to discuss the unique contributions of advanced technologies to the new healthcare economy.

Special emphasis will be put on the role of medical technology in reshaping the economics and design of modern healthcare delivery, and improving the health and productivity of human capital.

In debates over reform, rising healthcare costs are frequently attributed to the stream of innovative technologies that continuously reshape the settings and procedures of modern medical care. Yet few analyses have so far penetrated beyond the realms of cost equations and medical risk, or weighed the gains of technology-enabled care against the costs of its denial.
