Top healthcare conferences convene after presidential election

Three medical conferences will be held concurrently in Washington D.C. following the presidential election.

The Healthcare Research and Innovations Congress (HCRIC), the Emerging Technologies and Healthcare Innovations Congress (TETHIC) and the Consumer Directed Healthcare Conference and Expo (CDHCC) are scheduled for Nov. 29 - Dec. 1 at Washington's Marriot Wardman Park.

All the conferences address the critical issues that are driving healthcare today. HCRIC addresses the acceleration of innovation to practice, TETHIC showcases many emerging information and clinical technologies that promise to expedite delivery of innovation and standardization, and CDHCC provides the forum to address the role of the consumer and the patient as these new technologies emerge and consumers assume more responsibility of their healthcare future.
