April 2007: Health Care IT: Opportunities and Market Status

Monday, April 9, 2007

Will there be massive changes in the nation's health care system by the end of the decade? This is becoming more and more likely. Whether one supports single payer, employer mandates, or something else, everyone agrees that information technology is key to controlling costs and improving services. The change in the healthcare system will lead to vast opportunities for software, information technology, and Internet companies that are innovative and on top of the latest trends.

About NYSIA

The New York Software Industry Association, or NYSIA, is New York's leading tech industry group. It is virtually the only local major tech trade survivor of the dot-com boom and bust, and as such, speaks for much of the "Silicon Alley" community. Its members range from the largest corporations to small companies and single practitioners in digital media, information technology and allied services.

For more than two decades, the New York Area has been a national leader in software and Web development, supported in part on its outstanding academic institutions, financial and investment communities, well-educated labor force, and defense-industry base. With this as a backdrop, NYSIA was founded in 1992 by the prestigious New York City Partnership, an influential business organization affiliated with the New York Chamber of Commerce.

Under the leadership of president Bruce Bernstein, NYSIA runs an extensive program of free educational courses, sponsors a wide variety of economic development programs aimed at assisting member companies and the tech community at large, and pursues an active agenda of political liaison on behalf of the software industry.
