Welcome Innovators! You're in the right place to apply for the West Coast BluePrint Health IT Innovation Exchange Summit!

The BluePrint Health IT Innovation Exchange Summit Series invites early-stage Health IT Innovators seeking the opportunity to work with hospitals and healthcare systems to immediately apply for ten Innovator spots at the West Coast Regional Summit scheduled for February 22, 2012. Two regional BluePrint events in 2011 successfully matched 20 innovative companies with hospital/healthcare providers and a health insurance payer through a series of brief, structured meetings using a speed dating format and matching sessions.

To qualify start-up innovative health IT companies will need a ready-to-install product or service with zero to 15 installations. Innovators will register online with company information, answer a series of questions, and should supply brief talking head videos (using simple Webcam, Flip video or similar) about their company and product or service. Applications will be reviewed and rated by a national advisory board of health IT innovation experts and hospital participants. The top ten finalists will be chosen to participate in online, digital speed dating sessions, from which both innovators and hospitals will rank their most-likely partners with whom they would like to meet in matching sessions in Las Vegas.

More Details on the Selection Process

Note: The ten (10) Innovators who are invited to participate as Finalists will be required to pay a fee to participate in the digital speed dating and in-person matching sessions in Las Vegas. This fee is for participation in the online Speed Dating and Las Vegas in-person matching sessions only and does not include any travel, lodging or other expenses incurred by the Innovator Finalists.
