Health News DigestPosted: September 23rd, 2008 by Steve Trinward
“The Wake Forest University Translational Science Institute … will host a national conference to assess best current practices as well as future directions of electronic health records (EHRs). … The adoption of EHRs is emerging as an issue of national importance. A June report in the New England Journal of Medicine, as reported by the New York Times, ‘found that doctors who use electronic health records say overwhelmingly that such records have helped improve the quality and timeliness of care. Yet fewer than one in five of the nation’s doctors has started using such records.’ The conference will be held Oct. 1-3, 2008, at the Graylyn International Conference Center, Winston-Salem, NC. For further information, see the website.” (posted 09/23/08)
