Jack Callahan, MediNotes vice president of corporate development, will discuss future trends in healthcare information technology (HIT) during TEPR¡¦s session entitled ¡§The Next Generation of Medical Technology¡¨ (Tuesday, May 20 at 10:30 a.m. E.S.T.).

Callahan¡¦s presentation focuses on the future of HIT in the ambulatory setting. He will outline current concerns surrounding perceived EHR security vulnerability, the political issues and national initiatives that might impact the HIT environment, and the need for physicians to embrace technology and encourage its adoption.

¡§To manage the dynamic healthcare environment, ambulatory practices must select an EHR system that supports their existing workflow and evolves to accommodate change as their businesses grow,¡¨ explains Callahan. ¡§MediNotes¡¦ systems help physicians achieve and maintain practice optimization through an integrated solution that goes beyond compliance and manages the entire patient encounter from appointment scheduling through documentation to referrals and billing.¡¨
