Save on Electronic Medical Records with IT Consortiums

Tuesday, February 9, 2 pm eastern

Register NOW

Presenters
Michael Earl, President and CEO, Oakland Family Services; Glyn Thomas, PhD, Executive Director, Satilla Community Service Board; Jeannie Campbell, Executive Vice President, National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare; Scott Lloyd, Vice President, MTM Services and National Council Consultant; David Klements, President/CEO, Qualifacts

Behavioral health organizations that seek to use Electronic Medical Records are looking for efficient, inexpensive solutions and reputable vendors to work with. IT Consortiums allow organizations to establish the best EMR systems quickly and at only a fraction of the price they would otherwise pay, by pooling resources rather than going it alone. This National Council LIVE webinar will walk you through the steps necessary to establish an IT Consortium. You’ll hear directly from behavioral health provider organizations that have benefited from consortiums and have an opportunity to discuss your questions and issues with them.

Based on real-life lessons from behavioral health and primary care partner sites, these webinars are tailored to behavioral health clinicians already working in primary care as well as staff in behavioral health organizations looking to partner with primary care. You must register separately for each webinar.
