Still time to register for health care technology conference
Registration continues this week for the 2nd annual RHIOhio conference, Oct. 13 and 14, at Baker University Center.

This year’s “RHIOhio: Building Partnerships for Change” conference features a clinical track focused on barriers to diabetes care in Appalachian Ohio. The clinical diabetes track, organized by the Appalachian Rural Health Institute Diabetes Center at OU-COM, is targeted for community health professionals and educators and will take place on Oct. 13.

General discussions at this year’s conference will center on the integration of health information technology into rural communities and the effect such technology can have on economic development and job creation.

Keynote speaker for this year’s conference is Aneesh Chopra, Virginia secretary of technology. Chopra leads Virginia’s strategy to leverage technology in government reform, promoting the state’s innovation agenda and fostering technology-related economic development, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship.

The conference registration fee is $150, $50 for students, and includes admission to all general and breakout sessions, conference meals and the vendor exhibition area for both days. Financial assistance and scholarships are available.
