The Colorado Association of Healthcare Executives (CAHE) cordially invites you to attend our next education and networking event scheduled for Thursday May 21, 2009 at the beautiful Cherry Creek Country Club, 2405 S. Yosemite St., Denver, CO 80231.

This month Sandy Rothe, Office Managing Partner, and Mike Locatis, State of Colorado Chief Information Officer will outline the Colorado Healthcare agenda in regards to Senate Bill 07-196.  Both are heavily involved in the Colorado Health Information Technology (HIT) Advisory Committee.  Governor Ritter appointed members to this Committee to include employer groups, the HIT industry, healthcare providers, consumers and the Colorado General Assembly.  Mike Locatis serves as the committee chairperson.  The Committee spent more than a year assessing Colorado's HIT landscape, considering healthcare issues and HIT development among providers and communities across the state, region and nation.

They will discuss the priorities of the Committee and their recommendations for HIT implementation strategies for the state of Colorado including their report recommendations on the following areas:

• Strategies to promote adoption and incorporation of HIT.
• Strategies to promote interoperability and Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE).
