We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 7/7 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Stefan Buttigieg, MD (@stefanbuttigieg) on the topic of “International EHR Adoption: Challenges and Solutions.”
EHR Adoption around the world is still a contentious issue which a large number of healthcare providers still struggle with, especially in continents like Europe. Healthcare I.T Professionals, many time struggle to convince senior management amidst spiralling costs, significant changes in Healthcare System Legislations and Cybersecurity challenges. 59% of 27 EU Member States have an implemented electronic health record whilst the US has a 67% Adoption rate, what can we do better?
Please join us for this week’s #HITsm chat focused on International EHR Adoption. We’ll use the following 6 questions as the framework for the discussion:
