Due to an air conditioning malfunction in the building where IT-oLogy is located, we must change the location of the Health Information and Technologies Forum tomorrow:
Registration begins at 8:30 am.
Please note the new location is:
Swearingen Engineering Center – Amoco Hall
University of South Carolina
301 Main Street (corner of Main Street and Catawba)
Columbia, SC
Here is a map for the Swearingen Engineering Center
The best place to park is the Horizon Parking Garage at 519 Main Street ($3.00 all day), this is located at the intersection of Wheat Street and Main Street. After parking, proceed down Main Street (headed away from the Capital) one block to the Swearingen Center. There is also some parking available at the SCRA Innovation Center across the street from the Swearingen Center on Assembly Street.
We regret having to relocate but the building technicians have informed us that the air conditioning will not be up and running until later tomorrow morning, making occupancy very uncomfortable for most of the day. If others from your organization will be attending, please make them aware of the new
location.
So are you thinking about the world of IT as it relates to the world of Healthcare? Healthcare IT surrounds us everyday…from electronic medical records to the mobile platforms that drive communication. Did you know that Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina is more than just insurance company, they are a data management and data transfer company. Your insurance information is stored in large servers and it takes a special talent pipeline to manage this information technology, literally.
So, how does this relate to a great conference at IT-oLogy in Columbia, SC on August, 10th? Three major organizations are coming together to share knowledge, feature wonderful presentations, and build strategic relationships that will impact tomorrow’s world of Health Information and Technology. Well, in the video above…John Warner on InnoVenture, LLC describes this event that will be hosted at IT-oLogy in downtown Columbia, SC.
Data Analysis – Health Care Informatics and EMR
Data Management and Insurance Data Warehousing and Infrastructure
Data Collection – Health Care Diagnostics, Devices and Clinical Trials
Health Care IT – A Pipeline of Talent Skills
An important theme throughout the day includes industry/academic partnerships to create a pipeline of talent to design, develop and manage that span of activity.

Plan to join business developers and technology scouts in health care and insurance related companies, faculty and students seeking industry partners to enhance their research and services providers to high growth organizations involved in health science fields, in what should be both an educational and informative day as well as a great opportunity to network with peers in these critical fields.
