The wide-scale adoption of information technologies for healthcare will
require a balance between the rights of patients to control their personal
health information, and the needs of the health system to effectively manage
the exchange of data in a clinical setting.

Protecting the privacy and security of electronic healthcare information is
of top importance to federal decision-makers, consumers, and industry.
Enterprise-wide security will help ensure "trust" in various systems that
providers, payers and consumers will rely upon.

Join us for the next lunch briefing session of the Capitol Hill "Steering
Committee on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics" to hear from nationally
renowned healthcare privacy and security experts and lead Congressional
offices working to address these difficult issues.

Preliminary Program:

   - Dixie B. Baker, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer, Health Solutions,
   SAIC.

   - Barbara Massoudi, MPH, Ph.D., Senior Research Health Scientists, RTI
   International.

   - Tena T. Roberson, JD, Deputy General Counsel and Privacy Officer,
   BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee

   - Intermountain Healthcare (Invited)

   - Key Congressional Offices
