INTRODUCTION

In order to meet the challenge of providing cost effective affordable health
care, providers, payors and purchasers must completely re-engineer health care
delivery systems. Simply automating individual processes or departments will
not provide the additional productivity necessary to fulfill the national
mandate for universal access to affordable health care.

Experts agree that this re-engineering process depends, to a great extent, on
the acquisition and implementation of advanced health care information systems
and on building consensus and cooperation among all constituents in the health
care delivery chain.

The Health Care Information Technology Solutions Conference - HealthInfo - to
be held April 13-14, 1993 in Washington, DC, will provide comprehensive,
creative solutions to the challenges of succesfully integrating flexible
financial and clinical information systems into evolving health care 
organizations around the world.
