Fulfilling a Vision of Healthcare Information Throughout the eCare Continuum™
August 11, 2008Care providers and all stakeholders in the US healthcare system – including their technology vendors – should design and implement their healthcare Information Technology (HIT) initiatives in ways that facilitate evolving models of care delivery and reimbursement.
