Health Information Technology

Our Vision:
The wider adoption and continued improvement of electronic health records has opened a new era in health care. The capacity to computerize records is only an enabler; the real change is mobilized patient data. Once patient data is able to travel, it can be combined with information from other sources to produce new tools that can increase quality of care, reduce costs, avoid medical errors and improve convenience. This is a disruptive and exciting transformative change.

Our Team:
Leavitt Partners will help clients navigate and benefit from this disruptive and absolutely essential change to modernize and improve the delivery of health care. Leavitt Partners chairman, Mike Leavitt, led the development of the national strategic plan for health information technology. He personally chaired the American Health Information Community, which recommended standards and priorities for electronic medical records. Other Leavitt Partners team members have worked directly with the Office of the National Coordinator to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of care and the ability of consumers to manage their health information and health care. The Leavitt Partners team advises care providers, product developers, governments and investors on the technical and strategic opportunities and risks of health information technology investment.
