Interoperable EHR Systems Roundtable Day will provide the unique opportunity for attendees to network with policy makers, EHR service providers, IT specialists, EHR purchasers, and the medical professionals using EHR technology on a daily basis. There is no better way to understand EHR implementation than to put all the players in one room and facilitate an open discussion focused on addressing concerns and obstacles and then discovering applicable solutions.

Data Sharing
Too often we find ourselves listening to presentations, sitting silent during question and
answer periods, and maybe only exchanging a few business cards during networking
breaks when we attend conferences. It’s time to be an active participant at a
conference and Interoperable EHR Systems will provide every single attendee with the
opportunity to act as a thought leader during this one day, highly interactive experience.

2. EHR Now:
The United States is in the midst of
investing in large scale electronic
health record interoperability. The
goal is to ensure EHR products are
able to share information with one
another, from the exam room to the
operating room, and from one
medical facility to another. The
beauty of EHR interoperability is that
medical information will be available
anytime it’s needed by anyone who
needs it. Unfortunately getting to
the interoperable stage is no easy
task and all the major players have
spent countless time and money
attempting to meet interoperability
goals. It is now time to put all these
major players in the same room and
discuss the potential of EHR
interoperability and what it means
to each and every job function
involved.
