HIMSS13 Meaningful Use Symposium
One of the hot topics at this year’s Annual HIMSS Conference is Meaningful Use (“MU”). There are several sessions and exhibit hall activities dedicated to providing attendees with a better understanding and more guidance on meeting requirements of the various stages of MU. On Sunday, March 3rd HIMSS will host a MU Pre-Conference Symposium, “Transform MU from an IT Project to an Organizational Initiative”. Throughout the day many experts will present informative sessions to review the lessons learned and challenges of MU Stage 1 and Stage 2, educate and prepare attendees for MU audits, as well as identify future requirements and implications.
CynergisTek encourages attendees to take advantage of these informative sessions and cordially invites attendees to Mac McMillan’s MU Symposium presentation, “Meaningful Use Audits – What Your Provider Organization Needs to Know”. During this hour long session Mr. McMillan will provide insight on what a MU audit looks like, required documentation and how to be prepared for one. Attending the session will also give attendees a much better understanding of MU regulation, compliance and security risks.
