Join us, along with national luminaries and thought leaders from across government, industry, research, education, and not-for-profit sectors -- all committed to achieving health equity-- at the premier annual event of the National Health IT Collaborative for the Underserved (NHIT).       


The NHIT Summit and official reception at HIMSS22 will be hosted in-person and live streamed from Orlando, Florida on March 15, 2022.  NHIT and HIMSS celebrate a rich history together as NHIT's CEO, Luis Belen, led the establishment and launch of HIMSS Latino in 2011.  Now, we are proudly commemorating our 10th annual Summit alongside the HIMSS Global Health Conference, the industry’s most influential meeting of the minds. 


The NHIT Summit is an education program for health executives to interact with innovators and world-class thought leadership.  The Summit will focus on the organization’s mission to engage underserved populations in the development and use of health information technology (HIT) to support and sustain health equity and economic viability based on NHIT’s five pillars: Workforce, Innovation, Policy, Research, and Community.   


LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

  1. Examine disparities in technology access and literacy impacting rural and underserved communities, including the challenges and opportunities raised during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  2. Understand how broadband infrastructure, access, and digital literacy are super-determinants of health with profound impacts on health outcomes.  
  3. Evaluate current initiatives and explore inclusive program models that leverage digital innovation to ensure health access for all, including rural and underserved communities. 
  4. Review funding opportunities generated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and generate community support for a national agenda focused on addressing health equity through socially conscious infrastructure and healthcare spending. 


COLLABORATOR:

The Telehealth Equity Coalition (TEC) brings together voices from diverse sectors and communities to develop policy and advocate for proposals, programs, and technologies that support equitable and impactful telehealth adoption. Members represent health, technology, equity, government, and community engagement sectors.
