The Affordable Care Act is bringing much change and opportunity to health plans, providers, and patients. Many of these changes are being developed and implemented with the help of information technology.

The Future of Payer IT workshop, June 12, 1:30 pm - 5:15 pm, held in conjunction with AHIP's Institute 2013 (June 12-14) in Las Vegas, explores IT's role in this changing environment. Speakers will discuss the acceleration of IT innovation, how IT is driving change within the industry, learn tips on aligning IT with your business, and much more.
