Beacon Moderates the North Carolina Technology Association's Health IT Panel Discussion
As healthcare reform quickly becomes the topic of conversation from the halls of Washington to office watercoolers across the country, the importance of technology utilization and data exchange between prescribing doctors takes centerstage.
The North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA) brought together four experts on the subject at this month's Emerging Technologies & Trends Breakfast Series hosted by the Piedmont Triad Research Park in Winston-Salem, NC. Beacon President Mark Dirks volunteered to moderate the tough questions asked of the experts in attendance including Holt Anderson, Executive Director of the NC Health Info Communications Association (NCHICA); Mark Wechsler, Healthcare Programs Office Director at AVAYA; John Singleton, Vice President of State Healthcare for Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) and Gary Pickens, Chief Research Officer at Thomson Reuters.
Dirks welcomed the largely Raleigh-based crowd to the Triad and offered kudos to NCTA for showcasing technology across the state of North Carolina, and not just in the Triangle. "By working together and having robust discussions like this one, I believe this state's technology partners can come up with solutions and lead the way out of this recession," said Dirks.
Beacon Technologies currently works with several clients in the healthcare industry including NMEDA, a Florida-based company that works with mobility equipment dealers; Mylad, a company focused on the solutions to today's orthopaedic problems and U.S. Healthcare Services' CPAP eCommerce project.
The next installment in NCTA's Emerging Technologies & Trends Breakfast Series will feature "Gaming and Advanced Learning Technologies" and be hosted on the campus of Wake Technical Community College on October 20, 2009 from 8:30 - 11:00 a.m. Reserve your seat today by visiting www.nctechnology.org.
