Rx for Health Care: Is IT the Miracle Drug?

This track will address key questions raised by these reform initiatives, including how government and industry are deploying, managing and securing health IT, and will examine the promising possibilities for health data sharing to enhance medical care and improve public health.

Sustainability: Adapting to New Realities

Energy independence, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and operating in an environmentally sound way are top priorities for the Administration. Success depends on government and industry collaborating closely and taking leadership roles. This track goes beyond “green IT” to address the ways government and industry are working to meet these challenges, as well as the ramifications of moving towards sustainable operations. Topics to be discussed include the broad directives of Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance signed by the President in October 2009, the sustainability investments funded by the Recovery Act, as well other policy and regulatory mandates. These mandates and investments will drive agency agendas and have far reaching effects on the federal workforce.

This track will focus on finding the right balance between security and risk management, while securing the homeland and enhancing the military's war fighting capability, facilitating commerce, promoting health, protecting the environment and other missions of government.

No Excuses: Governing to Solve Problems

With technology as an enabler, and the imperative of rising budget deficits, the business of government is transforming.

This track will explore the drive to a more efficient and effective government focusing on results, reducing cost, and governing more as an enterprise. It will address the issues, new ideas, and possible solutions underway to deliver transformation.
