Health Information Technology and Medical Professionalism

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJ) and IMAP collaborated to explore professionalism in the new information age. A conference convened by David Rothman, PhD and David Blumenthal, MD, focused on the challenges and opportunities that current and future technologies will pose for professionalism.

The resulting book, entitled Medical Professionalism in the Information Age, will help fill the gap, advancing policy analysis and practice.
