Capital and Innovation Topics of May 26th TAG Health Meeting

Fireside Chat plus Social Media Format Encourage Participation

ATLANTA (May 23, 2011) – Two of the hottest topics in the Health Information Technology (HIT) field are finding capital and supporting innovation, and they will be the focus of a May 26th meeting of Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) Health. TAG is the state’s leading association dedicated to the promotion and economic advancement of Georgia’s technology industry.

A “fireside chat” with industry leaders will be followed by an interactive discussion that will include text and tweet input. During the Town Hall portion of the meeting, audience input will be projected on the big screen with the opportunity to participate onsite and remotely. The meeting will be held from 7:30-9:00 AM in the Metro Atlanta Chamber Boardroom.

This community meeting is a prelude to the 2011 Health IT Leadership Summit, which will include program modules on capital and innovation, two key building blocks for success that can also be insurmountable obstacles. These topics were identified based upon feedback from the highly successful 2010 Summit, which attracted 500+ participants for the daylong conference.

Speakers for the May 26th TAG Health meeting include Mark Reiboldt, Vice President, Coker Capital Advisors, and H. Morgan Crafts, Jr., PMP, MBA Chief Information Officer, Public Health, Health IT, Northrop Grumman Corporation. Moderator will be Dan Rivera, Area Director, Government, Education and Medical Region, Enterprise Solution Sales, Intel Americas, Inc.

The Twitter hash tag will be #GAHealthIT, and anyone can participate by going to Tweetchat and typing GAHealthIT in the search box. Beginning at 7:55, announcements, questions and comments will be posted to that everyone can chime in. Messages or questions can be sent to @gahealthit in advance of the meeting.

Registration and additional information are available here or on the TAG website at www.tagonline.org.
