The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference/tradeshow, at which we exhibited this week, was phenomenal. There was so much talk about electronic medical records (EMR or EHR) systems. We were there, as you can guess, to talk about training hospital/medical practice staff on those and other like systems.

Interestingly, there was a report on National Public Radio (NPR) yesterday morning that had many HIMSS attendees and exhibitors talking about privacy and electronic health records. If you had missed the report, the link is below:

Since compliance training is a considerable part of what the Venza Group has to offer, I’m convinced that our efforts to prepare clinicians and healthcare industry staffers for this brave new world of paperless and transparent healthcare information will make a considerable difference for generations.
