Title
The Healthcare Sector is being presented with a great opportunity.  The government, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will subsidize adoption of Healthcare Information Technology.  We have the potential to improve patient safety and reduce costs by eliminating duplicate tests and procedures.  We can speed up patient services through electronic
  • Referrals
  • Lab and medication ordering
  • Scheduling and reminders

We can also reduce paper generation and the space required for storing it.

 

But there are challenges too.  We need to find systems that actually help productivity instead of impede it.  Many of the government requirements on “meaningful use” and interoperability are still not defined.

 

We also want to find systems that have long term life expectancies and not ones that will go away because they could not keep up with the changing requirements.

 

There are a lot of products on the market now and they are all competing for your (and the government’s) dollars. In this webinar we will discuss how to prepare and do your product search.  We will identify issues to be aware of and how to qualify potential solutions.
