"At Mustang Engineering we don’t measure downtime in terms of loss of productivity but in terms of customer perception. If our network is down and they can’t reach our engineers it sends the wrong message, so we are very focused on keeping it up and running. The Broadleaf Group is a key player in that equation with their Consulting Services solution."

HIMSS Southern Chapters Regional Conference - Healthcare

Topic: The Changing Landscape of Healthcare
Date: May 13, 2010

The landscape of healthcare is changing; that's an understatement.

How do we keep up and make sense of the HIT alphabet soup (ARRA, HITECH, HIE, NHIN, CPT10, HIPAA 5010, etc.) and plan a roadmap to get us to "meaningful use"? Also, while wading through this soup:

How do we drive clinician adoption and improve clinical outcomes through information technology?

Where is the logical place for the HIE, and how do you build a sustainable model?

How has HITECH impacted privacy and security requirements?

How will we meet the requirements for quality reporting and pay for performance changes?

What will the impact of incentive payments be on physicians and hospitals?

Join us as we explore and navigate our way through the changing landscape - attempting to escape unscathed.
