Description

On-line treatment  •  E-health  •  Smart cards  •  Cognitive re-training  •  Neurotechnology
Technology-based compliance  •  Personal health records  •  Remote monitoring  •  Virtual reality

These technologies are here today. Will they be gone tomorrow? Or, will they change how behavioral health services are delivered in the years to come?

The answers to these questions – and more – are the focus of the 2008 Institute for Behavioral Health Informatics. Plan to join us in Washington, D.C. in October to hear what behavioral health industry leaders and technology innovators have to say about the current and future nexus of behavioral health and technology.

In two days, our goal is to provide an executive update on emerging technological tools and their implications for leaders of organizations that pay for or deliver behavioral health services. To lead your organization into the future, understanding the potential and the pitfalls of new technologies is critical. We want to join with you and other industry stakeholders to build a bridge to the best future applications of new technological tools.
