ANDOVER, MA - Capsule, the leading provider of medical device connectivity, announced that they will be hosting a webinar on July 21, 2010 at 1:00pm Eastern Time on the timely topic of how medical device integration impacts the entire enterprise from care delivery to ROI and why it is therefore a technology that hospitals should place on their short term priority list.
The webinar will be featuring speakers Ann Farrell, Principal at Farrell Associates, and Kevin Phillips, Partner Development Manager at Capsule. Ann and Kevin will engage in an interactive discussion to review the impact that medical device integration has on patient safety, care outcomes and meaningful use.
Ann Farrell, RN, BSN, is a nationally recognized Electronic Heath Records (EHR) expert, "thought leader" and career long evangelist for user-friendly IT that creates clinician "raving fans." Ann was an EHR pioneer as an ED nurse at El Camino Hospital, in Mountain View, California and subsequently served as Vice President of Product Management and Research & Development for several leading vendors where she led high performing teams.
The discussion will address a number of key topics including the real benefits of medical device integration, how device integration can recover nursing hours, and how can it improve overall patient care and safety. It will also address hospitals' key issues surrounding clinical workflow, CPOE, and how device integration can help meet Phases 1, 2 and 3 meaningful use criteria as outlined in the HITECH provision of the ARRA. And, to make the webinar even more targeted, the speakers are encouraging participants to submit individual questions prior to the webinar by filling out a form on the registration page.
