John Halamka, M.D. to speak on "Electronic Medical Records" via live videoconference

February 4, 2011 -- Finding a standard way to exchange health information is so important, it was mentioned in President Obama's recent State of the Union. 

Yet PC World reports that fewer than 25% of U.S. doctors use some form of electronic health records (EHRs) in their practices. Only 10% have fully operational health information systems that collect patient health data, manage information such as orders for lab tests and prescriptions, and provide decision support. 

On Monday, Feb. 7 at 1 p.m., Laurel Lake and University Circle, Inc. will present a special distance learning program with Town Hall of Cleveland speaker John Halamka, M.D. via live videoconference. Dr. Halamka will speak about "Electronic Medical Records" and will take questions from the audience.

Dr. Halamka is Chief Information Officer of CareGroup Health System, where he is responsible for all clinical, financial, administrative and academic information technology serving 3,000 doctors, 12,000 employees and one million patients. He is Chief Information Officer and Associate Dean for Educational Technology at Harvard Medical School, Chairman of the New England Health Electronic Data Interchange Network, Chief Information Officer of the Harvard Clinical Research Institute, and a practicing Emergency Physician.
