Practical Innovation on Full Display at EXPO.health 2019

The annual EXPO.health event was created to break down the silos that separate people, organizations and companies in Health IT. The event brings together smart, forward-thinking and hard-working Health IT professionals for 3 days of collaboration, sharing and conversation.

The central theme is: practical innovation – technologies, methodologies and best practices that help healthcare organizations solve problems TODAY.

This year’s event features several unique organizations that offer practical, innovative solutions to a variety of healthcare’s greatest challenges: interoperability, cloud-migration, M&A, security, identity management, and patient experience.

Check out the practical innovations from these 2019 EXPO.health sponsors.
