ONC’s Dr. Jon White joins the keynote lineup at MedCity ENGAGE

The patient story, the role of technology and federal policy are completely intertwined.

This post is sponsored by MedCity ENGAGE.

Dr. Jon White, the acting deputy national coordinator for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, will share a federal vision on health IT, patient engagement and healthcare delivery at MedCity ENGAGE.

White will open Day 2 of MedCity ENGAGE,  MedCityNews.com’s summit on patient engagement and healthcare delivery, which runs from July 14-15 in Bethesda.

Reserve your tickets now to hear the likes of White and Humana’s Dr. Roy Beveridge, as well as take part in workshops designed to solve some of the big challenges in patient engagement.

White’s presence is important, as ONC begins a transition period with National Coordinator Dr. Karen DeSalvo’s potential transition to a new role in Health and Human Services. Plus, the debate continues over the role of patients in sculpting health policy.

The patient story, the role of technology and federal policy are completely intertwined. Appropriately, immediately after White’s keynote, MedCity ENGAGE will feature “mini keynotes” from two patients: Carly Medosch and Garth Callaghan.

White is a family physician who has dedicated his career to improving health and healthcare quality through the use and sharing of electronic health information. He has worked with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology since 2004.

White also served as director of the Division of Health IT at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and trained in family medicine at the University of Virginia and Lancaster General Hospital in Pennsylvania.
