HIMSS 2014 Conference - John Glaser From Siemens

Here are a few of the things that Siemens Healthcare has planned for HIMSS 2014!…

The healthcare industry has seen many changes in the management of patient information.  Electronic documentation is progressively replacing paper; handwritten orders are being replaced with computerized provider order entry.  Use of health information technology (HIT) that once was optional has now become essential to streamline care, access up-to-date evidence-based care recommendations, make patient data more accessible through…
