Dear All,
I know this is tomorrow but can you alert your user network members that this is coming up. There may be some who are interested in the prospect of being able to harness the US EHR systems in the future and they may find this interesting. Also John Halamka is a good speaker.
Thank you
AJ

Following Dr. Halamka’s introductory session, eleven subsequent webinars will be held throughout the year to further examine specific topics and HITSP Interoperability Specifications (IS). [see sidebar]
The 2009 HITSP webinar series builds upon the success of the nine webinars held during 2008, which were lauded by attendees as “on target and easy to listen to,” “a great overview,” and “very understandable to an audience that probably has a very diverse background.” [see related article]
HITSP’s webinar series is organized by the HITSP Education, Communications and Outreach (HITSP-ECO) Committee, and is free of charge to all interested stakeholders. Participation in the live event requires both telephone and Internet connections. All webinar sessions will be recorded for playback via archives found on www.HITSP.org/webinars.
