A 5.0 hour CME-accredited workshop intended for physicians and other healthcare providers who want to learn more about the quality-HIT connection will be held on Friday, Oct. 21, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Oregon Medical Association Headquarters in Portland. Program topics include Health IT and practice workflow redesign as instruments of quality improvement; implementing quality management and reporting through electronic systems; and others.
An EHR “Petting Zoo,” offered by OCHIN/O-HITEC, Oregon’s Regional Extension Center, will also take place at the site that day starting at 8 am. At this event, attendees will have an opportunity to explore and compare O-HITEC’s qualified and certified EHRs. This is a great opportunity for physicians and other practice professionals who are still in the selection phase of implementing HIT to test out products and speak with vendors.
Registration is open to all, and is $169 for OMA members and their staff, and $203 for non-members. Complete course information, including online registration and series discount information, is available online at the OMA website at www.theoma.org/passport.
