Based on the success of Chicago test sessions, the partners expanded the series to an additional 12 cities starting with Boston on May 6th. Featuring a powerful combination of software and hardware solutions, these seminars will teach attendees how to successfully integrate management systems to manage both patient care and the business sides of their organizations and how to do it leveraging their current technology investment.
