MU Stage 2 Webinar

HealthSystemCIO.Com has asked me to host a webinar detailing our process for attesting to Stage 2.  This will be my first opportunity to explain our process via webinar to a large group.  See the details below:

8/28 - Summiting Mount Meaningful Use 2: Thomas Johnson, CIO, Penn Highlands Healthcare

A Complimentary Webinar from healthsystemCIO.com,

Coming Thursday, Aug. 28 @ 12:00 PM ET

 

 

While hundreds of hospitals have attested to MU Stage 1, as of today only a handful have done so for Stage 2. Why? First off, there's lots for CIOs to do and, secondly, it's not easy. But fear not. In this webinar, you'll hear from one of the first CIOs in the country to make the grade, and learn the keys to conquering MU2's most onerous challenges.
