John Lynn at EMR and HIPAA wrote a great article about choosing EHR/EMR Consultants: Does Your EHR Consultant Have Your Best Interest in Mind? I believe people who are thinking about choosing a consultant, should take a couple of moments to read it. One of the reasons I love this article is because it re-affirms [...]

I’ve spent much of this week talking with people about the HITECH EHR Stimulus opportunities and how to best position their organizations to maximize their pay-outs.

Unfortunately, the requirements are a legislative mess, so here’s a quick [...]

So maybe my earlier post Twitter: A New Approach to EMR/EHR Implementation wasn’t too far ahead for health care because today I noticed NextGen has a Twitter. Better yet, they twittered (is that a word?) us! They also have a Facebook website too.

All I’ve been hearing lately is stimulus package, stimulus package, stimulus package. Ben and I have started to make plans for when all this money starts to hit and today I noticed that NextGen has too. They’ve even made their own webpage for it and even having a webinar!
