Jointly sponsored/Co-provided by: 2009 Illinois Cardiology Practice Management Symposium Electronic Health Records: The Winners and Losers May 8, 2009 University Club 76 E. Monroe St. Chicago, IL Download Registration form | Schedule and Speakers | Objectives Please join us and our distinguished faculty for the 6th Annual Illinois Chapter ACC Practice Management Symposium, taking place May 8, 2009. This year�s theme is �Electronic Health Records: The Winners and Losers.� Any health reform proposal that includes quality reporting or outcomes data requires Electronic Medical Records (EMR). The government has mandated the acceleration of adoption of EMR. Cost, conversion of records, workflow upheaval, lack of uniformity, intraoperability and just plain fear of choosing the wrong system has prevented physicians from adopting EMR. Learners will be presented with information from experts and experiences from other cardiovascular professionals that will help ease the transition and implementation. Through evaluation of current market trends, practices will be able to identify options and methods that will work for them in the implementation of EHR. The economic stimulus package contains $20 billion to assist in the development of robust health IT infrastructure, including $17.2 billion incentives through Medicare and Medicaid, as well as new grant programs, to assist providers in adopting Health IT. The symposium faculty will provide up-to-date presentations that will improve and increase learners� competence with EHR systems through expert knowledge and guidelines to evaluate, prepare, and improve EHR adoption. Through electronic records, patient safety is enhanced via eRx, quality of care ensured by embedding appropriateness criteria, and patient care improved by having clinical guidelines at practitioners� finger tips during every visit or phone call. Topics will include the use of EHR and quality reporting, understanding guidelines from the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT), workflow and staffing issues, government initiatives and funding, case studies dissecting different cardiology practice EHR adoption issues and success, a look at Cardiology in 2010, and more!
