What's New at HealthTech

Our current big news is that we will be conducting a series of webinars on Healthcare Moves Home, stemming from our recent Geriatrics Expert Panel, during August. These three webinars discuss Hospital at Home programs, Telemedicine in Homecare, and Brain Fitness electronic media. All of the webinars will feature a 45 minute presentation by a guest expert along with a 10 minute question and answer session. These webinars will be recorded and posted to our site for future viewing.

Our most active current research is in Cardiac and Vascular Services, which will be the subject of a September 8 Expert Panel in Cambridge, Massachusetts in conjunction with Partners HealthCare.  We're in the midst of the research and interviewing, and are excited about the work ahead.  We welcome your thoughts and questions as we progress.

We recently completed a unique expert panel on The Future of Behavioral Health for Children and Adolescents, with a national group of experts debating forecasts about both national trends and their specific application to the needs of providers and government in New Mexico.  We learned a great deal about technology-enabled behavioral health services, and also about the challenges of multicultural rural and frontier markets.  We'll be posting video and support materials from the panel in the near future.

As always, we appreciate your feedback on our work, and welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you and help apply it to your local needs.
