Mark your calendar for March 8 to hear directly from Health Information Technology experts about what the HITECH is and what it is not and how it differs from the Health Reform Act, how to navigate the terrain of electronic medical records and integrate them with your practice management systems, and what resources are available to you to train your staff, hire qualified HIT employees. Spend quality Q&A time with industry experts.
