To qualify for financial incentives under the HITECH Act, providers must adopt and meaningfully use electronic health/medical records (EHR/EMR). Late last year, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) published criteria shedding light on what physicians and hospitals must do to qualify for these incentives.

Register for these webinars to learn how to not only qualify for the incentives, but to improve health care for your patients!
