The EHR Vendor Symposium, presented by CRHC and ClinicNET, and sponsored by the Colorado Health Foundation, COPIC, and the High Plains Research Network, was held October 13-14 in Aurora, and showcased the many different Electronic Health Record products available.  Nearly 140 attendees watched demonstrations by nine different EHR vendors and learned from the educational sessions on process improvement, encryption, and the EHR implementation process.  NextGen Healthcare and Meditech demonstrated their EHR solutions for both hospitals and clinics, while Amrita, Allscripts, Cascade Systems, Clinic Service, eClinicalWorks, HMS, MDM Group / RT Welter & Associates each specialize in one or the other, and demonstrated their solutions.  Representatives from over 25 hospitals and clinics from around Colorado were in attendance, and several left the event knowing which product they wanted to implement in their facility.

Julie from Havens Family Clinic in Cañon City and her coworkers attended the event, and commented,”We needed help and the vendors and staff gave us what we needed threefold.  The Symposium was so informative.  It was so refreshing to have helpful friendly people there to answer any questions we had and to make sure we found our way around the event.”

Thank you to all who attended and helped make this event possible!  Presentations and information will be posted in the coming days at https://coruralhealth.org/programs/hit/vendorfair.htm for those who could not make it to the event.
