AEI Event: "Can Health IT Improve Medical Care?" March 18, 2009 http://www.aei.org/event/100018

The U.S. health system is drowning in paper, and we are all paying for it in higher costs, less effective care, and medical errors. What has held back the adoption of health IT? How realistic are the hopes that health IT can promote delivery of high-value health care? Will the $21 billion for health IT in the stimulus bill jump-start progress in this area?

In the closing keynote address, David Snow, chairman and CEO of Medco, a leading pharmacy benefit manager, discussed opportunities to build on existing health information systems to identify more effective treatments and improve the overall quality of care.
