Leaders in health care and information technology will meet with government and policy experts to talk about how these health IT investments can be directed toward improving health care outcomes, protecting patient privacy, and reducing growth in health care costs, laying the groundwork for health reform.

Markle Connecting for Health released key principles, supported by a diverse group of health and technology leaders, outlining an initial approach to getting health IT right under ARRA.

"The leaders present here will be instrumental in achieving the goals of ARRA and in making sure that these investments support broader health reform efforts," said Zoe Baird, President of the Markle Foundation.
