Executive Panels and Roundtables in
Picis Booth #941:
Is Meaningful Use Enough - What About Meaningful Results?
Time: Monday, March 1, 2:00 - 2:30 PM
As the proposed rules defining "meaningful use" of electronic health
records near completion, are hospitals leaping into "good enough"
all-in-one solutions and sacrificing business performance in the race to
get funding? These hospital executives will discuss how they reconciled
their choices without compromise, achieving the benefits of house-wide
systems and specialized departmental solutions at the same time.
