It is very exciting in the IT world when someone comes up with a great idea. BluePrint Health IT has done just that with their Innovation Summit Series coming to Indianapolis in September of this year.

The vision of the BluePrint Health IT Innovation Summit Series is to accelerate and optimize patient care capabilities for providers, users and consumers of health information technology by showcasing and fostering innovation through a national platform for education and collaboration which matches Providers with Health IT Innovators.

What better way to do this than to replicate the methodology used in the speed dating arena? This is how it works, 10 healthcare technology companies and 10 healthcare providers will come together and meet for about 10 minutes each in order for the technology companies to present their innovative ideas to the providers and allow the providers to ask questions.

Applications are being accepted now for Health IT Innovators, Hospitals and Sponsors. The deadline is August 19, 2011. Click here to register.

John Kansky VP of product management of IHIE has just joined the BluePrint advisory board.
