A FREE Webinar for Health Professionals!

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, included in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, earmarked nearly $19 billion for healthcare IT spending, specifically electronic health records (EHR).

And while many physicians have one or more EHR components in either the planning or implementation phase, over 90 percent of all physicians in the United States still lack a complete EHR system…

Anyway you add it, this equates to enormous opportunity for healthcare organizations and subsequently for consultants. However, it is important to remember that such potential is not without its share of challenges.

Plan now to join us on February 11 at no cost and uncover the answers to such critical questions as:

• Where are the opportunities in EHR right now?
• How do I take any type of health record and process the data in the simplest, most secure and auditable manner possible?
• How can my practice best take advantage of growing client demand?
• In what areas will the majority of the EHR work take place?
• What are clients’ most critical needs?
• How can I capture, transform and integrate health records and patient information that can be released in HIS, ERP, and ECM systems?
• How can I be certain that my healthcare clients are getting the most out of their EHR systems?

PLUS – You’ll have the rare opportunity to ask our expert panel your most pressing questions concerning the implications of EHR, on your organization.

This event is offered to all consulting professionals, free of charge, courtesy of our sponsor, Kofax.
