Tommy Thompson Addresses HPAS

Posted by Mark Brousseau

This morning, former Wisconsin Governor Tommy G. Thompson delivered the opening keynote address at IAPP-IARP-TAWPI's Healthcare Payments Automation Summit (HPAS) in Boston. Weaving his experiences as a four-term governor and the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services with his recent experiences in the private sector, Thompson told the standing-room only crowd that it's unlikely that healthcare reform will achieve the cost-saving objectives advertised by the Obama Administration, or that hospitals will be ready to meet new federal mandates for health information exchanges, without financial support from the federal government.
