National eHealth Collaborative Forums

I'm posting this on behalf of the National eHealth Collaborative.

Please join the National eHealth Collaborative (NeHC) Board of Directors as it hosts a series of interactive discussions with experts and stakeholders on important and timely topics in health information technology.

Bedside to Bench: How Health IT Can Power Better Clinical Research
NeHC Board Member Stephen Ruberg, PhD will talk with a panel of experts about how interoperable electronic health records and other technology tools can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of clinical research. The discussion will cover a number of perspectives in this area, from clinical trials and drug surveillance to government-funded research to cure chronic disease.

The Backbone of the Healthcare System: Nurses’ Critical Role in Health IT Implementation
NeHC Federal Liaison Linda Fischetti, RN will lead a discussion among national nurse leaders about how including nurses in health IT implementation projects can mean the difference between success and failure. Panelists will bring a wide variety of perspectives gleaned from years of experience in improving the quality of patient-centered care through the use of health IT.
