Focus on Public-Private Collaboration in Health Information Exchange
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--

the federal level - this executive panel is uniquely qualified to discuss
timely, in-progress examples of work being done to reduce the cost of health
care administration and improve delivery for patients through collaborative
solutions.
