Top Story:
What's in an EMR? |
|
 Before
I begin this month's top story, I want to thank the readers of our
small ePublication, as well as our partners, for making this type of
tool possible. We have made a few exciting changes this month,
including the unveiling of a new EHR Article (by our partner and
industry expert Gary Pritts), and the new Reseller Spotlight - which
will focus on a different Reseller organization every month. You'll
also notice that we've changed the tagline for the InvestMed
eNewsletter to read: "The voice for the healthcare IT reseller
community." This change is combined with our effort to reach a
broader audience as we also take on a bigger range of topics.

Quote-of-the-Month |
|
"The future of American healthcare will be
determined in part by our adaptation of health information
technology. Right now, the healthcare sector is
woefully behind in using technology to reduce errors. I can
go to Antarctica and get cash from an ATM without a glitch,
but should I fall ill during my travels, a hospital there
couldn't access my medical records or know what medications
I take." - US Congressman Dr Phil Gingrey, 02.17.2006 |

About
InvestMed |
|
The InvestMed eNewsletter was developed as a resource for
healthcare and technology resellers to receive help, training, and
information pertinent to their success. It
addresses a need for communication, information, and
education that wasn't currently being addressed by the
industry vendors as a whole. The InvestMed Monthly
eNewsletter reaches nearly 7000 healthcare and technology
industry professionals each month (via e-mail and the
Web) containing articles and
information written specifically for their unique
market. Additionally, InvestMed has branched out
into developing solutions for problems that the vendors
in the marketplace haven't addressed;
solutions like
InvestMed's Patient Kiosk. |

What
Resellers Should Know about EHR Certification -
Medical resellers understand the buzz with EHR and
how critical it is to have an EHR in the product
portfolio. Yet few resellers have the resources to
keep up with the dizzying array of federal
government initiatives designed to promote EHR. So
we will explore just one of these efforts, EHR
Certification, what you should know about it, and
why it may be critical to your business.
