Why Send a Hospital-Based Team to the Course?

Researching, purchasing and implementing an Information System for your hospital requires a multi-disciplinary team approach that includes medical, nursing, administrative and IS personnel.  Hospitals that have been the most successful in maintaining and implementing systems have involved team members from the beginning of the process.  Bring your team to the conference, as no one individual can appreciate all the issues to be addressed and challenges to be solved.  This conference helps bring everyone together on a level playing field at one time and will work to foster the team approach.
