The health care and legal fields are ahead of other industries in adopting electronic record-keeping and billing methods, wireless technology, collaborative and distributive computing, and speech-recognition software. Many of the methods they are using are similar and could be adapted by other kinds of businesses.

This four-person panel will explain how they chose the technology they're using in their companies' legal and health services, what they've implemented, and the benefits and problems they've discovered in the process. Among the topics they’ll cover are: e-commerce in health care and law organizations; wireless networks; PDAs, Pocket PCs and Tablet PCs; document management; electronic billing; interactive voice systems; speech recognition; and future demands in the medical and legal fields.

Panelists include: Joseph M. Craven, Director of IS, Carroll Burdick & McDonough, LLP; James Ho, DMD, MPH; David S. Killoran, Attorney, Carroll Burdick & McDonough, LLP (moderator); Vino Malhotra, CEO & CTO, Health Highway.
