Minnesota e-Health Summit 2011
Thursday, June 16, 2011 - The Northland Inn, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
The purpose of the Summit is to provide participants with tools and
resources to guide success in implementing EHRs and HIT in the
current economic climate. Examples of national and Minnesota
e-health activities highlighted the challenges faced and strategies
used to overcome them. The Summit advances efforts to meet
the mandate to achieve interoperable EHRs by 2015 and optimize the
incentives offered with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) and other opportunities. Two Pre-Summit Workshops took place on Wednesday June 15.
