U.S. Congressman Phil Gingrey, M.D.
11th District of Georgia

21st Century Healthcare: Where we are and where we are going

 

Overview:

Our healthcare system is in need of reform: healthcare delivery is constantly changing in our country and the costs continue to rise dramatically every year. As our government cannot afford to continue paying for healthcare as it has in the past, the key to successfully transforming our current system is to increase the quality of care while reducing costs.

Congressman Gingrey practiced medicine for nearly 30 years before coming to Congress and has dedicated his political career to finding solutions to the current problems facing the field of medicine. Recently, he has spent considerable time and energy researching and learning how health information technology can bring healthcare into the 21st Century. Health IT is a win for all players in the industry and event attendees at the Georgia Healthcare Trade Faire and Regional Conference will hear what the federal government has done, as well as what has been proposed, when it comes to investing in the future of healthcare.
